Two bags for the hag

She (Bama football) don’t turn heads no more. J. D. Crowe’s latest Bama funny.

A picture worth a thousand words

J. D. Crowe is the talented editorial cartoonist for the Mobile Press Register. This jewel was in Sunday’s paper and says it all about the state of Bama football. Click over and have a look, if you’ve got the stomach for it.

Mal Moore must go!

With the Rich Rodriguez debacle, Athletic Director Mal Moore has, once again, embarrassed the University of Alabama. His inability is the stuff of legend. It’s time to put him out to pasture and out of our misery.
Here, in a nutshell, is the case against Mal the Aged.

Moore made the call to keep former ‘Bama coach [...]

Rich Rodriguez gets last minute reprieve

Apparently the media in the great state of Alabama were sadly misinformed as to the the depth of Rich Rodriguez’s commitment to the University of Alabama. It’s being widely reported that Coach Rodriguez is staying put in West Virginia.
Yet another coaching search has been badly bungled by the decrepit, obviously incompetent Mal Moore. ‘Bama’s ability [...]

Rich Rodriguez is rich!

Well Alabama athletic director Mal Moore got his man. Nope, it’s not Steve Spurrier. It’s not even Nick Saban. It’s Rich Rodriguez of West Virginia, or so WKRG in Mobile is reporting.

Coach Mike Shula, brought in to restore credibility and stability to the mess [...]

Alabama media fixated on Mike Shula

Alabama’s sports media is fixated on Mike Shula. Sports, page one, in today’s Mobile Press Register featured one story about Shula’s buyout clause, and another screed by flaccid Paul Finebaum.
The rag did note that embattled Miami Hurricane coach Larry Coker had been canned. It didn’t mention, however, that this is potentially the biggest football story [...]

Redneck-jihad against Mike Shula escalates

Radio host, columnist, and Tennessee alum Paul Finebaum continues to lead the redneck-jihad for the job of Mike Shula. Finebaum blithely ignores the main fact concerning Alabama’s mediocre showing this year; that Alabama doesn’t have enough good football players to compete in the most competitive conference in the country. Nope, Finebaum’s screeds are devoid of [...]

Michigan vs. Ohio State

Saturday numbers one and two square off in Columbus. What’s at stake is a place in the national championship game. Or is it?
There’s more than a little chatter that if the game is a good one, then perhaps the loser deserves another shot at the winner in the title game. In theory, I don’t have [...]
