[RollTideFan] Re: All Time Favorites

2005-07-01 Thread rspoon17
Off the top of my head, might change with more thought...

OFFENSE:

Jay Barker: all he did is win.  Not the fastest, strongest, or most talented, 
but had enough heart and leadership to carry a team.  IMHO, epitomizes what it 
means to be a BAMA football player.

Shaud Williams: see above, and add in that he had a chance to transfer without 
restriction but chose to stay at Bama.

(Honorary mention: Pat Trammel: Coach Bryant's favorite all-time player.  
Similar to Jay Barker; died tragically at a young age).

DEFENSE:

George Teague:- again, athletic but not the most talented, had desire to make 
plays and used that and heart to excel.

(Tie) Bisquit and DT:  Two who excelled athletically and in the 
community-service area.

(Honorary mention: the entire 2002 team that had a chance to transfer without 
penalty from the NCAA and stayed to play at Alabama)

Special Teams:

Lane Bearden: pluck, heart, courage - words don't express what this young man 
had.

Assistant Coach:
Gene Stallings (had to put him her to sneak him into the list)

Head Coach:
Paul Bryant

[RollTideFan] Thoughts on UNC - BAMA-related (really!)

2005-04-05 Thread rspoon17

While reading one of the hundreds of newspaper stories here in NC about the 
game last night, I came across this section.  Tell me if it reminds you of a 
certain football team:

--
"North Carolina is a tradition-rich program making its 16th appearance in the 
Final Four, an NCAA record. It came into Monday's game with three NCAA 
championships — the last in 1993 — but has gone through plenty of frustration, 
change and turmoil in the years since.

There have been four trips to the Final Four, but all ended with a loss in the 
national semifinals. There was the retirement of legendary coach Dean Smith in 
October 1997, an announcement that started a six-year period of instability in 
the program that included an 8-20 record under Matt Doherty in 2002.

A year after that debacle, Doherty resigned in an ugly public split with the 
university.

But with the hiring of Roy Williams — Smith's assistant of 10 years and a 
graduate of the university — in April 2003, North Carolina fans felt they 
finally had the right guy to bring the program back in line with its storied 
tradition."
--

I can't wait for football season to get here!!!

ROLL TIDE ROLL!

I suspect not all of them are from the aubies and the viles.  I hate to think a 
BAMA fan would stoop that low, but ...

At any rate, it is what it is.  If we get enough legetimate signatures that I 
feel it is worthwhile, I'll still forward it to the Administration with a note.

Sorry to spoil it for you, Joe, but this is a hoax.

See http://www.snopes.com/religion/einstein.asp for details.

A word of caution - just because you read it on the internet does *not* mean it's 
true.  Speaking of which, did you see where Coach Shula is never going to coach a game 
at Bama again?  It must be true - I got it from a friend who has a friend on an email 
list who knows someone who works part time with the wife of the janitor in the 
athletic department...

Joe,

What exactly did I do to deserve this?  I asked you to either post on-topic for this 
discussion list, or to be kind enough to label off-topic posts as off-topic.  Which 
one of these requests is unreasonable?  If there is something unreasonable here, it is 
not my requests.
