Wilson Love
Apparently Wilson Love just committed to Alabama. He of course being the brother of Tyler Love, not too surprising. It will be interesting to see how many commitments come out of A-Day, as it could be a spring board to a big weekend for recruiting.
Roll Tide!
Cannot wait to kick things off, today. Hopefully, we end up with zero injuries and get to see some explosive plays, on both sides of the ball.
Looking forward to seeing the new field, as well.
RT!

Update from the stadium
I just talked to my brother who is at the stadium, and he had this to say:
1. There is probably 50-60k there, almost the whole bottom level is full, with scattered fans in the upper deck
2. There was a U-Cheat scout there in puke orange, and the whole stadium booed him out until he eventually left
3. Weather is about 70 deg. and overcast with a slight breeze, perfect for players and fans.
4. There are a lot of recruits down on the field and are being treated like kings. He said the fans are cheering them and aking for autographs everywhere they go. No suprise, but could you imagine being in high school experiencing this? 60k show up for a scrimmage, cheering for you and asking for your autograph! Wow! Who wouldn’t want to play for Bama?
RTR!
50 to 60 thousand? thats it?
i gotta say if that number holds true i will be pretty darn disappointed in our fanbase. i know for a fact that NASCAR is going in in phoenix this weekend, so there’s no excuses. anything under 75 or 80 thousand is unacceptable.

I should have gone. No real way to do it—but I really thought there was gonna be a packed stadium.
That being said, probably double what Auburn had and what Georgia had last week.
Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world.
guess i was wrong
the guys on espn said the attendance was somewhere around 84,000. which, if true, indicates that we’re progressing as we should be, as a fan base, relative to our relationship to the program. the process continues…

the longest 30 seconds of your life
are the last 10 minutes of a basketball game
from the forest itself comes the handle for the axe
i hope they both lose
but thats cus im a magic fan
from the forest itself comes the handle for the axe
why the hell
is ESPN still talking about basketball. now they’re talking about the clevland game?… i’d rather be waterboarded than be subjected to eastern conference nba when a REAL SPORT has a practice that is being televised.

the luc longly impersonator gets the board w/ 2 and half seconds and doesn’t even dribble or pass, he just chucks the ball, flat footed 85 feet. great job a-hole.

McElroy to Julio for a TD
AND I CAN’T SEE IT.
“That was nicely done,” per Cousin Eli—and I can’t see it.
Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world.
is the game being streamed on WJOX?
or any stations that might be available (live stream) online?
welcome to the SEC kiffykins...

So lame...
This is our only chance to see Alabama play until the season… There will be plenty more playoff games for Boston and Chicago fans to watch. Cut ’em off.
espn360 is awesome
and it’s yet another reason COX cable is the most appropriately named business ever. well if “we suck” were inserted in front…

oh yeah. i remember
a few seasons back, we’d get no updates for a few days, then a post about how awful charter is….
charter is probably the worst large business i have ever dealt with. ( i used to work in billpay customer service for a major bank and would call the customers billers on their behalf for disputes…. charter and sprint/nextel were the two companies people wouldn’t even call. they’d just put the caller on hold, wait, then come back and say “their hold time is longer than 20 minutes. do you want to wait? if not we can have our payment research team follow later” no one ever wanted to call charter….

i have charter and have never had a problem…

I was watching a BAMA game a few years ago
and,living in Chicago, the Cubs won a high-stake game. CBS continued to show the Bama game miniaturized w/o audio, while they interviewed drunk Cubs fans for the rest of the night.
they better re-air this fucking broadcast.
i got off work at 9 am CST and have to be back at 10 pm CST, and i didn’t go to bed yet so i could WATCH the game!!!!
welcome to the SEC kiffykins...
I swear ...
….if they do a “Todd’s Taste of the Town” I will drive to Tuscaloosa and burn every ESPN truck I can find TO THE GROUND
lol

impressive incompletion
by darrah just then. looked like he zipped the ball 40 yards off his back foot. too bad it was on a rope and 4 yards past the WR.

McElroy just locked on to McCoy twice...
no other reads…looks like they have been working on that on their own.
impressive focus
by Green. I’m pretty impressed DH can stay with the guys down field that well.
yep, he needs to add a few pounds in the weight room
but he throws his body in there well.
must,... resist.... becomming.... like every single person on the planet in the last 60 days....

Saban needs some more 3rd & 5 plays like the shovel pass or direct snap to get outside the tackles.
Not on CBS again !!
