Re: [RollTideFan] FOOTBALL
Coach Bryant always said that he could take an average player & make him great. My expectations are not going undefeated, but having a winning season every year even during this difficult time. If CMS is a good motivator, this will happen & I can't live with excuses of lost scholarships.

Re: [RollTideFan] FOOTBALL
I believe the University has set CMS's winning percentage goal at around 53.8% (7-6) for the season. Even though our schedule is extremely tough, I won't be surprised if Shula pulls out a 69.2% (9-4) season, but only barring any *key* injuries to the team. As Slef pointed out in his post last night, this team cannot afford to lose anyone during the season. With that said, I *hope* they play "lights-out" football! But... Hope is not an Action Plan ($1).

That's all well and good, but when the teams you play (UT, Aub, OK, LSU, UGa, etc) have more talent and scholarship players, LOGIC dictates that they will win MOST of those games. My fear is that some will squeal and whine if we do not win enough for them in the coming 2-3 years, and said people will be screaming for Mike Shula's head. This is very shortsighted, IMO.

[RollTideFan] Old news?
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/tim_layden/news/2003/07/03/layden_insider/ New NCAA rules may virtually eliminate two-a-days Posted: Thursday July 03, 2003 1:14 PM Click for archives College football coaches are counting the days. Not the days remaining until practice begins (about 30, in most cases), but the actual number of practice days allowed in August and how to use them. I spent some time this week with Jim Tressel, head coach of the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes. We talked about his offense (stacked), his defense (almost as stacked) and his schedule (no road games until an October tilt at Wisconsin. At night. At Camp Randall. Whoa). But it was only a matter of time until our conversation turned to the new NCAA rules regarding preseason practices. Know this: Some people are complainers; Tressel is not one of these people. But he's more than a little bit intrigued by how he should handle one of the most significant practice rules changes in NCAA football history. In effect, the NCAA has legislated out of existence one of the most enduring traditions of the sport: two-a-days. The bureaucrats haven't entirely killed double sessions, but they've passed a new rule mandating that teams cannot practice twice a day on consecutive days. Moreover, on double-session days players must be given at least three hours between sessions, and those three hours can't be used for meetings. There's more: Freshmen no longer can report early, and the first five days of team practices are limited to one practice a day. "Everywhere you go, coaches are asking each other, 'How are you going to handle it?'" Tressel told me. Two-a-days are as much a part of football as goal posts and cheerleaders. Anybody who has played even high school football has a fond (or, more likely, painful) memory of laboring under a brutal summer sun, preparing for the season that lay ahead. Anybody who has won a championship can remember celebrating in November, re-living and crediting the hot August workouts. Two-a-days can be brutal beyond description. If you don't remember or don't believe me, read The Junction Boys. But as tough as they are, there's little question that double sessions allow for rapid conditioning and forge camaraderie. Of course, the landscape has changed. In recent years players have died in the summer heat, dehydrated from pushing themselves, often fueled by dangerous supplements that Bear Bryant's boys never imagined. Two-a-days have become endangered because of concern over the welfare of athletes and the financial instinct of schools, which seek to avoid lawsuits. The change in practice schedules is a safety issue, and also a dollars-and-cents one. It's hard to argue against legislation designed to prevent the deaths of young players, although the issue is more complex. Supplements clearly are a culprit, not only because of their immediate effects during heat exercise, but also for their insidious ability to create monster athletes. Are 18-year-old linemen meant to carry 350 pounds and run gassers? That train, however, has left the station, and pulling it back in will take years. In fact, it might never happen. Therefore, change in the practice rules was inevitable. Teams will have to be creative. They are allowed 29 practices before their first game, but with the five-day break-in period and the double-session rule, it will be hard to have more than seven or eight two-a-days before hitting game week. "Do you want to have two-a-days during game week?" Tressel asked. "We're going to have to ask ourselves that question." Another question, too: Will teams be as fit and tough as in previous years? Possibly not. However, if a life or two is saved, it's worth it. And I'm not so sure teams will be softer. Earlier this week, a group of more than 30 Ohio State players ran sprints on the Buckeyes' practice field at high noon under a blazing sun. Other groups would run later or had run earlier in the day. Players everywhere are doing the same thing. These are "voluntary" summer workouts. "But," said senior quarterback Craig Krenzel, "everybody is here." Players and coaches adjust. They find a way.

Re: [RollTideFan] FOOTBALL
Mike, I'm not lowering my expectations. NEVER!! THIS IS ALABAMA FOOTBALL! Yes, I expect Alabama to win every competition they enter - football, baseball, tiddlywinks, whatever. I guess my 'amen' to the original post is just an acceptance of the difficulties facing Coach Shula and the team - plus a (much too recent) memory of 2000. Yes, I want the wins, but at least as much as that, I DON'T want to see the confusion, lackadaisical, me first, out-of-shape, give-up-in-the-first-quarter attitudes that I saw in 2000. If we have the teamwork and commitment that I expect to see from Alabama football, then the wins will take care of themselves.

NO! Absolutely not. This is ALABAMA football. Expectations must be kept high or we will get used to being satisfied with 'moral victories' and 'good efforts' and I think that is bullshit. I expect Bama to WIN every single game they play. Every one! I will not be satisfied with 'they played hard'. Lower expectations now and say it for the next 3-5 years and you can forget Bama returning to it's historical place. Failure and success both breed themselves.

UA-MSU may play on a Thursday 07/09/03 Alabama's football game at Mississippi State, scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8, may be moved up to Thursday so the game can be broadcast nationally on ESPN. ESPN representatives have discussed the move with Mississippi State officials, according to MSU spokesman Mike Nemeth. "I think there is an interest," Nemeth said. "I don't know how far along the talks have reached. I really believe (a decision) will happen in the next week." Both teams have a bye the previous weekend so it won't be a short week of preparation if the game is moved forward, as it appears it will be. It would also give each team extra time to prepare for the following game. Alabama follows with a game at home against LSU on Nov. 15 and Mississippi State travels to Tennessee. The network attempted to move last season's game between the teams to Thursday night but UA Athletics Director Mal Moore declined the offer. State, however, has a history under coach Jackie Sherrill of playing some of its home games on Thursdays. Ovcr the years, Alabama officials have balked at playing on Thursday night, saying it was an inconvenience to their fans. Moore said last week that he had not discussed this year's game with ESPN or Mississippi State but added that "everything is initiated with the home team." The Crimson Tide last played on a Thursday during the 2001 season. A September home game against Southern Mississippi was moved to Thursday, Nov. 29, after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York canceled all SEC games that weekend. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!
