Logical question, that was 1 play. Why is the video 2 minutes long? Were there not other plays to be added? and if not why is the video not say 20 seconds long, tops.

I’ll concede JPW, but Croyle was super-hyped before and after he was recruited. I seem to remember a rumor that John Croyle was consulted for both the Price and Shula hires because he wanted a system that would fit in with his son. Then, all we heard for his so. and jr. years was that the Tide wouldn’t have lost to Auburn if they’d had Brodie. We saw how well that worked out. Even after that, he was treated like a rock star within the state. He has to stay on the list with Watts.

You mean like Tyler Watts, Brodie Croyle, and JPW before him?

Well you have to ask yourself… was that the type of tackle an “all SEC safety” should make?

that quote sent me on a google trek that ended up on the wikipedia page for Terry Pratchett. Interesting guy…guess I’ll be getting one of his books.
And to think I only use to visit this site for Friday cheesecake and to chuckle at your unadulterated man crush on the baby rhino…

#23…If by “suck” you mean the top recruit in all the land vs. an all-SEC safety, then I guess you’re right.

Poor choice of pictures Holly. If you wanted your desired result, why didn’t you go to your staple pic of the barn hicks wanting $5 to shake dead Bear’s hand? You must be saving that one for a future posting.

An NFL coordinator said DJ Hall wouldn’t go over the middle of the field even if a $1,000 bill was there with his name on it. Unbelievable talent with no heart. Imagine if he actually tried.

Pelican – JJ’s going to be good, real good. But let’s remember who’s throwing him the ball.

Nice play like that earns you a Ziemba-style ass kicking down on the plains.

Once again, bama fans are in a tizzy about something that didn’t actually happen in a game.

Isn’t bragging about a play in a scrimmage self defeating? Someone in the play has to suck.

So you’re the second state trooper from the left, and one of the perks of ‘protecting’ a major college coach is that you have a front-row seat to watch this pivotal play… maybe 12 yards away.

Why are you watching it on the big screen?!?!

pshht, Cops. *sigh*

Point of information: 2012 will be the 40th anniversary of the famous “Punt, Bama, Punt” game of 1972. If Tommy Tuberville keeps the streak going, it will also be the eleventh straight Iron Bowl victory for the Tigers, eclipsing the 10-year stretch over Auburn by Bear Bryant.

Can the 2009 countdown be 100 percent Pratchett? I’m thinking we can bring back Tom Zbiboxerguy for the following gem:

“Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.”
