Tennessee and Alabama both had easy games on Saturday. Oh, wait, UT didn’t? They were tied with Akron at the half? Hmmm? They won right? Ok. Well then on to the week 4 reviews to see how bad Steve and I were this week. Florida Atlantic at Alabama Steve Says: Four weeks in and the [...]
Saturday was awesome for a half. I wasn’t sure of a victory at any point Saturday, but I liked the way we competed in the first half in that hostile environment. 6-6 at the half…and we’ll stop there. Now on to the good, bad and ugly. The Good Mike Palardy had his best game ever [...]

Duron Carter has reported to Alabama’s practice field for the first time all season. All is well.
Julio had a great career at Alabama, but it seemed the ‘Tide always had a difficult time using him to his full ability. Once I looked at these three videos, it was obvious that we didn’t go to the television booth enough. It’s scary how many times McElroy and Julio responded to the voices in [...]
An Alabama fan can look at a Tennessee fan today and say, “I know.” Alabama has lived through all this before – minus the Pat Summitt news. The Vols’ biggest problem was taking too long to recognize that it was time for Phillip Fulmer the coach to step down. The next biggest problem was once [...]
