http://tinyurl.com/37pwu If you like the direction of the Alabama men's basketball program, then that NCAA second-round upset win against Stanford was more important than you may have first thought.
Sure, Alabama beat Syracuse for its first NCAA round of 16 win five days later. But looking back years from now, that Stanford win may prove more valuable for head coach Mark Gottfried. When the eighth-seeded Crimson Tide scored its 70-67 upset of No. 1 Stanford in Seattle on March 20 for its 19th win, it clinched a one-year extension on the contract Gottfried signed with the university in September. The five-year agreement Gottfried signed had a clause stating that he would get an additional year if Alabama won 19 games during the 2003-04 season. <snip> ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!
