PrintAt long last, folks, it is here. The fourth edition of Yea Alabama, available for pre-order now and available on newsstands later this month:
From MapleStreetPress.com:
Yea Alabama 2010 prepares the Alabama fan for the upcoming title defense with detailed player and opponent profiles, as well as in-depth and entertaining features on the team's recruiting and play calling. Of course, no Alabama publication would be complete without a look back at the storied history of the program, including last year's magical run. Edited by Todd Jones and Joel Gamble of RollBamaRoll.com, Yea Alabama is 128 pages of the most in-depth and entertaining Crimson Tide analysis available anywhere.
As mentioned earlier, this is the fourth edition of Yea Alabama, and after browsing through the copy MSP sent out the other day, I must say that I think this one is the best we've published to yet. Some of the articles and authors who contributed this year include:
- 2010 Position Profiles - Todd Jones
- Know Your Enemy: A Look At Alabama's 2010 Opponents - Doug Gillett
- Going for Two: Alabama Repeating? - Jerry Hinnen
- Fresh Faces: A Look At Alabama's 2010 Recruiting Class - Todd Jones
- The McElwain Way: A Look Inside the Alabama Running Game - Chris Brown
- Against the Tide: Is the NCAA Out to Get Alabama? - Pete Holiday
- The Golden Age: Reliving Bryant-Denny's Most Memorable Games - Lance Davis
- Duking It Out: The Surprising Shared History of Alabama and Duke - Jim Sumner
- Back in Time: A Historical Primer on the Alabama v. Penn State Series - Jim Sumner
- An Interview With Tom Luginbill - Todd Jones
- Road Tripping: How to Make the Most of the Tide's 2010 Road Trips - Holly Anderson
- Where Do We Go From Here? - Joel Gamble
Finally, yours truly has a few pieces this year, including:
- Rebuild or Reload? A Look at the 2010 Defense
- Four for 13: A Breakdown of Four Plays That Won a National Championship
- Early Bird Gets the Offer: A Look at the 2011 Verbal Commitments
- Nationwide Tide: How Nick Saban Has Changed Alabama Recruiting
- Alabama Must Not Squander Opportunity: How to Keep the Momentum Going
All in all, it's been a lot of work, but we are exceedingly proud of the final product and hopefully you'll all find it was worth it. Pre-orders should ship in the next few days and hard copies will be available on newsstands later this month, so go ahead and reserve your copy.

Fer this bountiful ’arvest.
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

Sure...
Sure, just a few quick hitters off the top of my head…
Doug Gillett is the author of the popular blog “Hey Jenny Slater.” Lance Davis is the author of the Adious Lounge. Holly Anderson is a contributing writer for Dr. Saturday and EDBDS. Jim Sumner is a Duke / NCSU grad who has been a sportswriter / sports historian for about three decades now. And, of course, you probably know Chris Brown, he’s the guru behind Smart Football.

you got a laugh out of me there.
i think you of all people would know exactly what that article will say.
That white stuff on the top of chickencrap...... is chickencrap.
Getting ready
I’ve prepared a third hermetically sealed glass compartment in the Bama room’s book shelf for this edition. All hail!
QUESTION: A couple of years ago, we had a haiku contest for a free copy. How about a contest involving limericks this year?

Shipping vs store
At last, cannot wait guys. How long is the lead time before hitting the shelf? Reason I ask is due to my arrival of the championship edition came later than it hit the shelf and I about bought two because I couldn’t wait.

I'll let...
I’ll let Todd and Nico chime in on this one, but I think you should get the pre-order before it actually hits the shelves. There may be rare cases when it does not work out that way, but that should be the general rule. If I remember correctly from last year, people started getting the book via pre-order around July 10th, but it didn’t appear on shelves until later in the month.
I think the national championship edition was really just an anomaly. Keep in mind that thing went to print literally like 48 hours after the game was over and went on the shelves immediately because of the time-sensitive nature of such publications. As a result, it probably took longer for your order to be processed and shipped online than it was just to get out to stores. By the time we even posted of it here on RBR, really, that thing was basically being sent out via the retail distribution networks.

You should get the regular edition before it hits bookstores. The national championship edition was weird because it went straight to stores from the printer to get it out there as quickly as possible instead of going back to Maple Street first like the regular editions do. So if you want to get it ASAP go ahead and order directly from them.

Just ordered.
And to me, it’s worth twice what MSP is charging because living in Puerto Rico I have to pay the “international” shipping rates, even though I’m technically in the same stinkin’ country and if they’d work harder checking the rates they’d find out that stuff like that can be shipped here for much less…don’t EVEN get me started on that subject.. so just for what it’s worth to you guys, that’s how much I value your work and enjoy reading the mag.
