You have heard of Rocky the Flying Squirrel well met Rocky the football predicting octopus. Rocky is an 18-month-old giant Pacific octopus in residence at the Point Defiant Zoo & Aquarium in Washington, has picked Alabama to beat LSU in the BCS championship game on Jan. 9th , 2012.

It was built as the Game of the Century, No. 1 vs. No. 2 as LSU visited Alabama in Tuscaloosa and for the most part it lived up to the hype. Although it wasn’t a great offensive showdown as some had wanted, it was a great defensive showdown that came down to one or two […]

I had to say this… Sal Sunseri has a very close appearance (only in appearance only that is.. very nice guy) to the Godfather.  His son, does the dirty work on the field (in a good way of course, for the Tide!)   Like Stacey said, he is “the assassin.” Looking forward to father and son going […]

We really didn’t feel […]

Davidson head coach Fred Riley has a policy with his football players telling them not to commit unless they meant it. “We should change the language,” Riley said. “It’s really […]

Normally when the Tide faces the Vanderbilt Commodores it goes something like this: Vandy stays in the game early before the Tide pulls away; this game no exception.
