Please Read
Hey everyone that is following me. I appreciate you taking time to read the articles that I’ve posted on here for you guys. Right now, my goal is to get my latest article “T Town Never Down” published in the Tuscaloosa News.
The reason the article was written was to show the nation how even a football game for three hours can remove the horror of a life changing event. The...

T-Town Never Down
On April 27th the city of Tuscaloosa was hit by an EF4 tornado. As the twister wrapped its wind around the city, acting as a large set of hands, dismantling buildings and lives throughout a seemly quiet town the rest of the state stood in shock as the largest outbreak of tornados ravaged the rest of our state as the rest of the nation watched in amazement as the pure devastation ripped a hole in...

Goin Bowlin
After a heartbreaking loss to Auburn at home on Black Friday Alabama starts to wonder where their season has gone, and where it will end. With a win Alabama would have had a great shot to still finish their season in a BCS game, more than likely the Sugar Bowl where Alabama would have loved to get the bitter taste out of their mouth from 2008 and their loss to Utah.
With the loss Alabama likely...

Keys To Beating The Auburn Tigers
As Black Friday approaches so does the emotion of the annual Iron Bowl. This year will be one of the most anticipated Iron Bowls in quite a while, maybe the most anticipated you’ll see for a few years as well. Auburn comes in as the number two ranked team in the nation with a Heisman candidate at the helm. Alabama comes in with a record fans haven’t seen since 08, two losses. Bryant...

And Then There Were Two (losses)
A little over 24 hours after the 3 point loss to LSU this Alabama team is still left with a sickening feeling. After leading the game at halftime, the Crimson Tide crumbled under the pressure after falling behind by 10. A quick scoring drive in the latter portion of the fourth quarter quieted the crowd and instilled hope into the Alabama sidelines. But, even after cutting LSU’s lead to 3...

I Got A Feeling...
The biggest news out right now involves Cam Newton and the alleged agent he had while being recruited from Junior College. This story will be talked about for weeks maybe even months. In the meantime he is eligible, according to Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. Now that this story has broken we can gather information and move on. The NCAA will do it’s own investigation and we will know the...

I Got A Feeling...
As I mentioned earlier this week I will start doing a post every week on things I see happening throughout Saturday, and hopefully I am right. I successfully called Wisconsin beating Ohio State and also called the Missouri over Oklahoma correctly. So I figured why not put it on a site so people can see if I’m smart or just lucky.
This week we will look at potential upsets I see...
Updates This Week....
I will be starting a new weekly thread called “I Got A Feeling..” which will be things I feel will happen during the week and what it would take for those to happen. I hope you enjoy it.
Also I need some help getting friends on here, please tell all of your friends about this website and get them to follow me, and whatnot. Feel free to message also. Would love to hear about some...

Season Breakdown Games 7-12
Nearly a week after Alabama’s first loss in 19 games it’s time to put the first half of the season behind us and move on to the second half of the season. This half of the season may offer just as many chances for slip ups as it’s counterpart did. The next 6 games also consist of 6 straight teams coming off bye weeks before playing Alabama. We all saw what a week can do for a...

The Perfect Storm
19 straight wins, snapped. 29 straight regular season wins, snapped. 9 straight wins against ranked opponents, snapped. 8 straight weeks sitting at #1 in the AP poll (longest streak in Alabama football history), snapped.

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide have won 25 straight regular season games going back to the 2008 season and since the 2009 Sugar Bowl against Utah the Crimson Tide have not lost, reeling off 15 straight wins including the SEC Championship and BCS National Championship. To say this team is dangerous is an understatement.
With the talk of how young the defensive line and defensive backs are...

The Tide nation was caught off guard by the news of Mark Ingram’s injury today. Ingram underwent arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday morning. The usual recovery time on an surgery like this is a couple of weeks, depending on the individual and the rehab done to the knee.
