Auburn Player Bit by Dog

College Football

I can’t believe I just typed that title. Check out the video clip below to see cornerback Jerraud Powers of Auburn get bit by a security dog just outside of the end zone. Was the security guard holding the dog a Bama fan perhaps??? ;-)

You lied to us countless times and are a coward for not finishing a job you took on with the Miami Dolphins. Good luck in Alabama and may you lose the next eight Iron Bowl games to Auburn!!! Maybe once you feel like betraying Bama maybe you can become a politician.

Hope Stonecold doesn’t mind my invading his post, but I couldn’t resist.  This is GREAT!!!

Saban Watch

Nick SabanWe will know by 10 am tomorrow if Nick Saban will actually leave South Beach and go back to the college ranks with Alabama. I know they are throwing the Crimson Tide Credit Union at you Nick, but wouldn’t you rather be in the land of the beautiful rather than the land of the ugly? Things definitely haven’t gone as you had hoped so far with the Dolphins, but not so sure the grass is greener on the other side!

We are getting closer everyday to the big games, but the slate today holds some legitimate contenders. I am going to make things short and sweet because it’s still the holidays and there simply isn’t enough time. Good luck if you are a gambler and if not then enjoy what should be some of the better college bowl games so far this year.

Oklahoma State covers -2.5 against Alabama in the Independence Bowl simply because of the the chaos in Birmingham these days.

Rutgers -9 against Kansas State in the new Texas Bowl is really interesting. Will Rutgers face a let down for not making a BCS or will they step up? I think that is the big question in a game where the Scarlet Knights are favored by nine points. I have to think Schiano will have them prepared, but Kansas State covers.

In the Holiday Bowl California covers -3 against Texas A&M.

NCAA Saves the Day

College Basketball

NCAA

We normally hear of how the NCAA and the rules they have in place basically screw players for minor violations. Please don’t get me wrong because they overall do a great job, but we all know there have been times we didn’t agree with their decisions or thought they had no heart. Well, this story will really warm your heart and definitely shows a very positive side to the NCAA. In a nutshell, Jermareo Davidson who is a talented 6-10 forward for Alabama has endured his brother being placed on a ventilator and his girlfriend being killed in a car accident all this semester. To make things worse Jermareo was in the car with his girlfriend when the accident occurred.  Needless to say because of these tragedies his studies were falling very far behind. It appeared he was going to also have to endure missing the second half of his senior season due to poor grades. Then a director of academic services for Alabama University made coach Gottried aware of a NCAA and SEC rule that allows players to withdraw from classes and wipe the slate clean for next semester. It’s not often you hear the NCAA sparing someone from rules and regulations, but this time the rules made things just a bit better for Jamareo Davidson who is handling so much at such a young age. I tip my hat to you today NCAA.

Em”Bama”rassed

College Football

Alabama Football

Fans in Tuscaloosa have to wonder what has happened to their beloved football program. Alabama reportedly has already been turned down by Steve Spurrier and Nick Saban for the open head coach slot after the recent firing of Mike Shula. Yesterday came the news that Rich Rodriguez of West Virginia also has turned down the Tide. This news was extremely shocking because everyone including Alabama athletic director Mal Moore felt it was a done deal. Rodriguez has guided the Mountaineers to three straight Big East titles and four straight New Year’s day bowl games. My gut tells me Rodriguez went through this process to get a raise in West Virginia and solidify him as the coach there for many years to come. The question is what is Alabama going to do next? Where do they turn and how do they right this ship? The names being tossed around are Paul Johnson (Navy), Jim Grobe (Wake Forest), and Jeff Tedford (California). I think they should just bring back Mike Shula since they are paying him a ridiculouos amount of money til the end of the time anyway, but that would just be silly or would it?  Stay tuned for more because I think the shenanigans are far from over.
