The Tide begins conference play tonight with a visit from the two time defending national champions Florida.

11-4 (0-0)		13-2 (0-0)

Update [2008-1-9 9:15:15 by Todd]:

As I'm sure you all know by now, the Tide managed to drop another conference opener, this time a 90-83 loss to a very young Florida team that it had dominated the entire first half.

Of course, some of the same old problems plagued Alabama. It shot 58 percent from the free throw line, making just 15-of-26. And it allowed the Gators to shoot 51 percent from the field and 50 percent from the 3-point line.

our coaching staff sucks

We just don't have that drive. Once we get down, we don't fight back like we use to. Jesus, I am tired of Gottfried and his BS coaching. We just cannot get up for games past halftime.

Paul Finebaum said yesterday on his broadcast

that if Coach G didn't win against this Florida team, then we should expect to hear a legitimate call for a coaching change. Well it happened....Coach G again demonstrated with all certainty just how inept he is. MAKE THE CALL!

I am now on the bandwagon

Let's get a new coach. To be honest if we could make the NCAA field every year I would be happy. But we have failed to do that. We are not really that competitive. This year only 3 SEC teams are very good and this would have been a great yr for us to make a run, but it is not gonna happen. A coaching change plus one yr has proven to be a success at Ole Piss. I say we step up and make the change as well.

I wouldn't piss off the boys from Alabama . . .

Time for a change?

I like Coach G. as a person and he has helped
bring bama baketball back to the NCAA dance party!
After watching Ole Miss and the Vols turn around
its basketball programs, I get mad watching bama
having talent and NO COACHING ON THE SIDELINES!!
I live in Nashville,TN and the media make fun of
our coach saying great recruiter, but could not
coach his way out of a paper bag!!
Roll TIDE!!
