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 […]

After the SEC released its 2012 schedule, there were some rumblings that Nick Saban may be unhappy about the Tide yet again having several opponents having bye week’s, but Saban at least in public didn’t seem upset. “If we would’ve had a bye week before LSU, we would’ve gone from Oct. 6 to Nov. 10 […]

We really didn’t feel […]

Alabama got another commitment as Davidson lineman Alphonse Taylor who was a Florida State recruit, has now switched to Alabama and will enroll next month. 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. Although the Tide had a14-0 lead at the half lead by passing of one AJ McCarron who had a career high four touchdown passes, the Tide really […]
