On Monday Nick Saban made a few visits around the south.  While Saban was out and about he got word that he netted an ESPN 150 defensive end.  Tim Williams from Baton Rouge (La.) was looking at Florida State, Miami and LSU and had plans to visit all three, but after a weekend at The University of Alabama the 6’4”, 230 pound four-star decided that he wanted to wear the crimson. Williams ranks as the nation's ...

Surprise, Surprise... Not really!  Alabama has three top-rated players to announce that they are skipping their senior season and entering the NFL draft.  Running back Eddie Lacy, cornerback Dee Milliner attended a press conference with Head Coach Nick Saban today to make the expected announcement.  Coach Nick Saban says right tackle D.J. Fluker couldn't be there but made the same decision. Milliner is cons ...

With verbal commitments from 20 players, including two Rivals five-star recruits and a boatload of four-star prospects Alabama's recruiting class is already leading up to be a top class again.  The Crimson Tide is to have 9 recruits enrolled at the University this spring semester which got underway on January 9, 2013.  There is one junior college prospect, one prep school, six recent high school graduates a ...

There is no doubt about it, Junior Quarterback A.J. McCarron had an impressive regular and post season that saw him post one of the best quarterback ratings in the nation.  He is the only quarterback to win two National Championships and be a part of three BCS Champioship teams.  Since back up to Greg McElroy in the 2010 season McCarron has improved each season.  Sure he has had a couple of slumps during a ...

The University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced the hiring of Greg Brown as Alabama's secondary coach. Brown takes over the secondary as Jeremy Pruitt heads off the Florida State to be the defensive coordinator.  Brown has significant experience on the defensive side of the ball spanning the last 30 years with 15 years as an assistant coach in the NFL and the last three seasons in the college rank ...

That would just be one word the describe the beat down that Alabama gave the Leprechaun's of Notre Dame at the BCS Championship Game this evening.  A few others may consist of; Domination, dismantling, beating, whipping, flogging...the list could go on.  At one point I started getting text messages that they actually felt sorry for Notre Dame.  Alabama must have also because it looked like they took their f ...

Alabama and Notre Dame take the field in the beautiful Sun Life Stadium in South Miami, FL.  It was 73 degrees with 81% humidity at kick-off  and each team and fan base was amped to get this game under way. Alabama scores on it's first 3 possessions of the game to make the score 21-0 with 14:56 left in the second qtr. The Crimson Tide ran the ball, passed the ball, and pretty much did what ever they wanted ...

There is no doubt about it, the Irish have invaded for this classic match-up!  I wouldn't be surprised if Pope Benedict XVI shows up for the game.  The fans are everywhere and are very loud.  When Saban walked out onto the field to do his pre-game walk the Irish fans started chanting "Let's Go Irish".  Alabama fans have (from appearances) shown class and respects the tradition.  But they are letting you kno ...

49-0!  That’s the record since 2008 that Alabama has with rushing for more than 150 yards.  However, the Tide is 11-7 when less than that.  So in all of the talk with the A.J. McCarron and Notre Dame’s Golson being the “X-Factors” in the game.  The real question is how will the “Dynamic Duo” and the “Elite” offensive line do?  Nick Saban team’s simply do not lose when the running game clicks. D.J. Fluker ca ...

When Amari Cooper showed up on campus last winter to enroll in classes and go through spring camp some thought that he would be a pretty good receiver in time being the 4th ranked receiver coming out of high school.  But, I would expect most didn't see him contributing as much as he has this year and especially at the end of the season to become one of the top receivers in the SEC.  What set his early contr ...
