He has already obtained his undergraduate degree from UA and is currently enrolled in graduate school with a sports management specialty.</p> </blockquote> <div class="source"><p><a href="http://blog.al.com/bamabeat/2009/07/ol_evan_cardwell_not_expected.html">OL Evan Cardwell not expected back with Alabama's football teamt</a></p> <p>Cardwell started at C for the latter half of 2007 after Antione Caldwell's suspension, but saw no (meaningful) playing time last year and never managed to crack the first team rotation during spring practice this year, instead watching William Vlachos and David Ross battle it out through camp. Hopefully he'll get a medical scholarship so he can finish his graduate degree on the University's dime. <br /><em> <br />ed- didn't see the fanpost, so belated h/t <a href="http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2009/7/3/936736/evan-cardwell-done" target="new">chinesedentist</a></em></p></div> http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2009/7/3/936775/alabama-senior-center-evan Todd 2009-07-01T12:13:42Z 2009-07-01T12:13:42Z <img alt="Rbrcountdown066" src="http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/58231/rbrcountdown066.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p></p></div> http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2009/7/1/931763/image-fanshot kleph 2009-06-30T22:34:36Z 2009-06-30T22:34:36Z <h3><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=schlabach_mark&amp;id=4277330">Nick Saban: Coming to a theater near&nbsp;you.</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>What doesn't this guy do?</p></div> http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2009/6/30/931151/nick-saban-coming-to-a-theater Bamabrave4 2009-06-30T13:13:16Z 2009-06-30T13:13:16Z <img alt="Rbrcountdown067" src="http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/58081/rbrcountdown067.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p></p></div> http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2009/6/30/930373/image-fanshot kleph 2009-06-30T13:00:01Z 2009-06-30T13:00:01Z <object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/btW3Pq4kaLg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/btW3Pq4kaLg&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="344" width="425"></embed></object> <div class="source source-img"><p>A little something to get you pumped up this&nbsp;morning...</p></div> http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2009/6/30/930358/a-little-something-to-get-you Todd 2009-06-30T02:12:36Z 2009-06-30T02:12:36Z <h3><a href="http://towerofbammer.com/2009/the-curse-of-the-riverboat-gambler">The Curse of the Riverboat&nbsp;Gambler</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>Auburn fans working on the Bryant-Denny expansion are attempting to curse our stadium. </p></div> http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2009/6/29/930011/the-curse-of-the-riverboat-gambler Johnny Moronic 2009-06-30T01:00:44Z 2009-06-30T01:00:44Z <img alt="Local-music-rules" src="http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/58018/local-music-rules.gif" /> <div class="source source-img"><p><a href="http://www.bhamweekly.com/2009/06/29/city-stages-may-be-terminal-but-bottletree-will-be-terminally-happy/" target="new">City Stages may be terminal, but Bottletree will be Terminally Happy</a></p> <p>Long story short, City Stages hired the <a href="http://www.thebottletree.com/" target="new">Bottletree </a>to provide food for the entertainers at this year's festival, and have since stiffed them on half the bill, making things a little dicey for one of Birmingham's best restaurants and live music venues.
