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 […]

As I go through my daily news searches, I found a very interesting and good article in the Washington Post about Tide offensive lineman Barrett Jones.

But despite how well the defense has played, they have been overshadowed somewhat by the LSU defense. Despite finishing first in most of the major categories, none of the Tide defensive players won any major defensive awards […]
