No. 4 Tennessee was awarded a 66-39 victory at Mississippi when a leak in the Tad Smith Coliseum roof sent water onto the floor with 5:24 left in the game. Thunderstorms swept through north Mississippi on Thursday night, and the leak started soon after. The delay lasted about 20 minutes before the game was canceled.

AP: Tennessee wins rain-abbreviated game at Ole Miss And here I thought rainouts were only a threat in baseball season... Matt: Don't forget Bama has a game scheduled in that building for Saturday afternoon. It's doubtful the game will be affected, but nevertheless it might be something to keep an eye on if there was any serious damage to the roof.

For those of you that like ShaggyBevo's format but don't want to hang around all that Burnt Orange, I bring you our own den of assholes. I am only going to post this here once. I love RBR and it will be my daily go to blog but I thought that us heathen BAMA fans needed our own message board...so I created it. Hell, we will even accept outsiders, as long as they don't get too trollish.

The Newton Tapes: Scott Moore Interview

55

Interesting interview in Huntsville on 97.7 today. Mp3 linked above. (about the tapes) at about 1:30 in the audio Host: "Tell us... of what you heard." Select portions of interview: "There are people who doubt the validity of the tapes... I just wanted to confirm that they do exist. I think it's important..." "There are some very incriminating... things on the tapes." "The bottom line is, these numbers we keep hearing about - this $150k offer from TN, this $180k offer from Auburn, those came from Cecil Newton. They didn't come from Auburn or Tennessee. They came from Cecil Newton..." "I never heard anything on these tapes that would implicate MSU." "$150k offer from TN, and a $180k offer from Auburn. I heard him say that. I've seen the tapes... They exist, that's the bottom line." "[there are] quite a few [tapes] from several different people." "I find that hard to believe that Cam didn't know what was going on." "MSU came back and said, 'listen, we're not going to do anything for you. But if you go to Auburn, we're going to turn you in.'" And the doozie as quoted from TSK: "Moore said that one of the tapes has Cecil Newton asking for money from Mississippi State with Cam in the room at the same time."

James Carpenter, OT, Alabama -- Carpenter didn't get the same talk that the other Senior Bowl tackles did, but his performance wasn't any less impressive than Anthony Castonzo's or Gabe Carimi's. The difference for Carpenter, especially in the game, was that he manned the less glamorous right tackle position and did very well - especially in contract to Arkansas' DeMarcus Love. Teams looking for a bigger (6-foot-5, 313 pounds) and more physical right tackle type will be watching Carpenter in Lucas Oil Stadium just as they did at Ladd-Peebles.

Top 10 scouting combine sleepers - Shutdown Corner With the roster limits in the NFL, having offensive lineman that can play a variety of positions on any given week is a necessity. If Carpenter can show scouts he can move back and forth between the two tackle spots that should up his stock come the draft.

The NCAA enforcement staff will focus on football recruiting in a new way in the coming months, a project Vice President of Enforcement Julie Roe Lach has discussed with member institutions and the media since assuming her new position last fall. Five investigators from major-enforcement and two from the agents, gambling and amateurism staff will spend the next several months building relationships in the football recruiting world (both scholastic and non-scholastic) and gathering information about what is happening in that sport. AGA Director Rachel Newman Baker will lead the group. The intent is to make sure the enforcement staff becomes as knowledgeable about football recruiting as it has grown to be about basketball recruiting.

JaMychal Green scored on a tip-in with .3 seconds left to lift Alabama to a 51-49, come-from-behind victory over rival Auburn on Wednesday night. Alabama completed the series sweep and has its best SEC record at this point since also starting out 11-2 during the 1986-87 season. The Tide has already clinched the Western Division title and entered the game tied atop the league standings with No. 13 Florida, which plays Georgia Thursday night.

Interview with Ozzie Newsome

Hi Roll 'Bama Roll, I've actually never interviewed any Bama alum before, so I think it's about time. Let me introduce myself... My name is Max Strauss, I'm a high school student in the eleventh grade. I started a site interviewing NFL players last April. It's been very successful. I had a chance recently to talk with Ozzie Newsome. I work really hard to interview players in my spare time, and I had a blast talking with Ozzie. Here is the link: http://prointerviews.org/2011/02/21/OzzieNewsome If you all would share your thoughts on Ozzie and thoughts on the interview below, that would be awesome!! Thank you so much for letting me share, -Max Strauss-
