Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

THAT, my friends, is how you tackle...

Our good friend Nicole of Cute Sports just e-mailed me this picture:

"Todd," you might be saying to yourself, "what is that strange '69' floating in mid air?"

I'm glad you asked my friend. That's the 6 9 from the side of Lionel Mitchell's Rashad Johnson's helmet.

"But Todd," you might continue to wonder, "what does that mean?"

It means, dear reader, that Lionel Mitchell Rashad Johnson hit that Vandy player so hard THE HELMET STICKER FLEW OFF. God I love this new defense...

Correction
Actually, Todd, that is the helmet sticker off of Rashad Johnson's helmet, not Lionel Mitchell's.

If you notice, Johnson is 49, but the only number showing up is 4 on the helmet, and the 9 has been knocked off. The "6" that you see floating mid-air is in actuality Johnson's "9" just upside down.

The AP Caption says as such, as well.

Direct quote: "Alabama linebacker Rashad Johnson (49) has the numeral 9 knocked off his helmet as he gets tangled in a play as Alabama defensive back Lionel Mitchell, left, brings down Vanderbilt wide receiver Sean Walker, center, in the first quarter of a college football game in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, Sept. 8, 2007. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)"

I was about to say the same...
Huzaah for AP wire access. I thought that picture was bullshit, until I actually saw it on the wire. Holy fucking hell.

Ferocious...
...is how I would describe it. Saban has brought a mean streak back to Bama and I love it.

Our intensity is where it needs to be....
right now to win games in the SEC, something that was nonexistent under clubshula.
When we get the talent in to match this intensity that is when we will start winning TITLES.
tubs sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

offtopic, but
gametimes beside the schedule on the left hand side of the site?

We'll have a schedule...
...of all the SEC kickoffs and TV where applicable up tomorrow.

Unfortunately...
...the space is so small that we can't cram it in there without it looking like complete crap.
Roll Tide!
