BAMA Broadcast

RBR, quick question…is there a quality internet radio broadcast that you would suggest? I reside in Charlotte, NC, and there’s no radio affiliate nearby, so, with that, I’m looking to catch the pre-game online. I really appreciate your help.

Roll Tide! Giv’em hell Alabama!

Go to the...

….gameday central link and there is a link to the yahoo sports internet broadcast.

Thanks, Todd.

I appreicate it. Do you happen to know if th Yahoo! broadcast is free-of-charge?

by Whistlin' Dixie on Aug 30, 2008 11:42 AM CDT up reply actions  

Looks like...

…you have to get a subscription:

$4.95 a month for a single team pass doesn’t sound too bad.

GameDay Statistics...

From what I’ve tracked down, we’re 3-7 when featured on College GameDay… anybody know what our record is when Corso’s picked us compared to when he’s picked the other team?

by CrimsonWraith on Aug 30, 2008 11:13 AM CDT reply actions  

Break that down further

Does anyone now what our record is when orange Corso picks us as opposed to scary pink Corso picks us? Sorry about the above comment. My two year old hit enter before I wrote anything.

If it were up to me, I'd blitz on offense too.

Va Tech Falls

How painful is it for Virginia Tech to not just lose to ECU, but to lose on a blocked punt? Ouch.

by Watchman on Aug 30, 2008 2:10 PM CDT reply actions  

Damn fun to watch though...

It hurts, but then again, that’s football.

ECU’s defense looked pretty good out there though.

by BigBamaDaddy on Aug 30, 2008 2:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

Purple Turkey Eaters!

Not only did ECU win, but they probably should have won by more points then they did, given the turnovers they had and didn’t take advantage of. They were calling for a really close game, here in Charlotte, and it definitely was…what a game to kick off the weekend!

Go Utes

Looks like the Utes may give Rich Rod a L in the Big House

had to get a nap before the games…did Corso pick us to win??? I really hope not…haha
also, VTech took a HUGE L…sorry for them…and sorry Drew…

If you missed the show, then you missed you some really good signs in the crowd:

Usually I’m doing that following a 4th quarter turnover and after yelling at the TV. Great first 25 minutes. I don’t wanna get ahead of myself, though. But so far … damn.

Back to the days of our Defense being a human wall, the offense actually being capable of getting into the endzone, and an effective special teams squad.

I know it’s early, but it looks like we’re back, baby!

When was the last time

we saw second/third stringers on the field in the 4th? And this was a (granted preseason ACC) top ten team.

If it were up to me, I'd blitz on offense too.

we played...

…just about as perfect of a game as we possibly could. Giving up the kick off return TD was disappointing, but we played smothering D, moved the ball effectively and were able to create long, efficient drives, and most importantly we didn’t have any turnovers or boneheaded mistakes. I think the announcers said we only had two negative plays the entire game. just amazing. i’m a little drunk, but damn i am happy.

Best game in a decade

OK, maybe since the ’99 SEC championship.

update from WAY south of the border

watched the game in the bar in lima, peru. i was the only person there adorned in crimson. the usual anti-bama crap got bandied about a bit at the start of the game but by the halfway point of the first quarter the whole place was screaming with me. good times, my friends. good times.

that means...

…you were indeed yelling loud enough.

by kleph on Aug 30, 2008 11:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

Seriously folks...

It’s been a long time comin’. Think the two Oklahoma openers, the UCLA games, the Florida State game last year – all that. It is HIGH TIME the Tide won a big game to start the season.

This is it ya’ll! We are finally, thankfully, honestly, and DEFINITIVELY on our way back to the top of college football!

Granted – a game doesn’t make a season by any stretch. But I love the way the TIDE played tonight and we have a lot to be excited about. We may lose some games coming up. Who knows. But we have the right people in charge, and we have AMAZING ATHLETES executing their plans.

I’ll say it before you do – these freshman are going to win a national title.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!

My goodness...

I was the only Bama fan tonight watching the game, but I had a LSWhoo and a UGA fan with me and they were impressed. I think they were scared!! I hope they are! Man, was that a great win or what! Clemson who? I thought it would have been close, but I was wrong…our boys handed it to them tonight in grand fashion(except the kick return). That was just simply beautiful exicution for the most part. I’m so happy I got to see it. I will be missing a few game in Sept.(no TV or internet access). RTR!!!!!!!!!

No gift certificate needed

We can just enjoy this one (as I smile so crazy big). I dont think I’ll be able to make it to a game. I hope one day I can. Every 2 years I get to see em whoop Vaandy tho!
