Quoting M Laborde at 22:30 13-08-04: from the Opening Ceremony (as of 9:30 PM CDT) 1. When the fuck did Palestine become recognized as a country? When the fuck was Blow Job Clinton President of the USA? and Ally Gore inventing the internet? 2. Australia has no black athletes Shit, if you think we (Americans) treated the Injuns bad in the USA with the polio infested blankets, and all, you haven't heard about what those British criminoles did to the Abo's down under. Americans were horrible to the Injuns, and imported blacks and were just as horrible to them. But the Aussie folks (like the Georgia folks) were criminals, and spent the last 200 years treating the Abo folks as 9th class people. At least in the USA, us "enlightened" folks never had a policy of stealing babies from Indians/Aboriginals and placing them with white "God Fearing" folks, like you and me (sic). We Americans were above that, we just killed them off. 3. Germany has no black athletes But they do have some very ugly ass East German "women" swimming for them. 5. The opening ceremony is longer than the damn Academy Awards And with Katie Kouric and Bob Costas neither has ever utter a sentence that was worth more than any one I've ever uttered as a drunken fool. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!

Phil and Blobber sittin in a tree... Slef E. - Original Message - From: Phil Harbison To: BamaFans Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 10:19 PM Subject: [BamaFans] [ADMIN] upcoming list changes for Bama-^Hfans^H I would like to take a few moments of your time to inform you, themembers of Bama-Fans, about what I think are some exciting changesplanned for our list in the coming weeks.As the subject header implies, the first and most obvious changewill be a new name for the list. When I created this list in 2001,the name "Bamafan" was already taken on Yahoo! Groups and was beingused to archive the original Bamafan. I informed Yahoo! that therewas no longer a Bamafan to archive and asked them to make the nameavailable but received no reply. I continued to monitor the statusof "Bamafan" and when the name became available last November Iclaimed it. I have always considered this list to be the successorto Bamafan and I am very happy we can finally reclaim our name.Over the next week, you will receive an invitation to join Bamafan.You need only click on the link in the invitation message to confirmyour membership. Yahoo! Groups has a limit of 50 invitations perday so it will take at least 3 days to invite our existing members.If you don't want to wait, or do not have a Yahoo! ID, you may alsojoin by sending a message to the following address. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Over the coming weeks we will be transferring the contents of theBama-Fans Files and Photos sections to the new list. Unfortunately,there is no easy way to migrate the archives and polls. For thenear future, it will be necessary to go to the Bama-Fans page tosearch the old archives. The results of all polls related to listbusiness will be archived in the Files section of Bamafan. For ashort time, I will arrange for any messages posted to the old listto also be broadcast to the new list. As members migrate to thenew list, I will set them to "no mail" on the old list so they donot get duplicate messages.Another change will hopefully be some new but familiar faces on thelist. Last week I suggested to the moderators that we invite themembers of the BamaFanForever list to reunite with us under our oldname. We all agreed that it was time to extend the olive branch andmend fences. I believe we will have a more active and interestinglist together than we ever had separately. Over the coming week, Iwill be contacting key members of BFF and asking them to convey ourinvitation to join the list. I hope everyone will join me in puttingaside any bad feelings and welcoming our fellow Bama fans.The final change has already begun with the installation of JasonHouston as our new moderator. My goal when creating this list wasfor it to be a representative democracy with all decisions made bya panel of moderators elected by the members. As list owner, I didnot want to double as a moderator, but initially there were not manyvolunteers for moderator duty. Apparently the pay sucks. I am happythat the management of the list is now in the hands of three verycapable moderators and I am only wearing one hat.I have always viewed having a list owner as a necessary evil. Yahoo!requires that one and only one person own the list. The list owner isthe only person capable of deleting the list, a power I promise neverto exercise, and creating or removing moderators, a power that I willexercise only as instructed by the constitution. All other authoritycan be and has been granted to the moderators. When drafting theBamafan constitution, we intentionally limited the role of list ownerto supervising elections and referendums and installing new moderators.In the future, that will be my only involvement in the management ofthe list. Of course I will still hang out on the list asking strangequestions (Who is Bill Dance?), posting the occasional B3ARCUB rantand prediction, and discussing football and barbeque (probably not inthat order).I hope these changes will result in a more active and enjoyable listand look forward to discussing football with y'all and cheering theCrimson Tide through a great season!

[RollTideFan] from Bill Curry (0-0) to Bill Curry (0-1)
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/preview04/columns/story?columnist=curry_bill&id=1857779 Thursday, August 12, 2004 Updated: August 13, 12:36 PM ET New coaches are perfect, for now By Bill Curry Special to ESPN.com Zero and zero ... (0-0) ... bliss. Nobody ever says much about it, but it sure is fun. Anyone who has ever coached in the cauldron of serious sport (which seems to begin at Little League these days) can testify to it. If one of us coaches should find a cure for cancer, settle the Middle East crisis, or be canonized by the church, we know still that upon our death none of those accomplishments will grace the first paragraph of our obituaries. Oh no, first there will be something else, something that will be indelibly imprinted on the public consciousness forever. Come on, you know full well what it is. Yes, the parentheses! And within the accusatory little brackets, our coaching record, how we did in the most important thing in the history of the world. (DID HE WIN! OR LOSE?) Unless your name is Paterno or Bowden (uh, Bobby) you find yourself reliving all those wins that might have been. If only... But the zero and zero days are so cool, so welcoming, and so wonderful one can actually enjoy them. Ask George O'Leary or Mike Price. It is redemption on the run and can be intoxicating. The first year head football coach is uniquely vulnerable. He has a long, long offseason, unless his name is Mike Shula. Even if one is a veteran, the trap is seductive. The new coach, already a confident cuss, thinks all the love is caused by his personal charm and awesome potential. He thinks that marginal recruiting class really wowed the alums, and that the model for the new stadium is enough to increase season ticket sales. He thinks the former regime loaded up the schedule for all the right reasons, and goes about proclaiming, "We will probably win a few we shouldn't." This is extremely dangerous because the more he says such stuff, the more he believes it. (Writer's note: my first year at Georgia Tech our out-of-conference schedule was Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, Notre Dame and Georgia.) There is one reason folks love the (0-0) coach, only one. There are no losses. Folks stay happy as long as there are no losses. Ask Terry Bowden. The wealthy egocentric alumni froth at the mouth to get close to the new coach. On one occasion I was told, "You are harder to reach than the president of the United States! I want you to stay in our million dollar house on the beach this summer!" I indicated that I would be somewhat easier for him to reach in the future. Three years later, when the record was not zero and zero, after many happy hours on the beach for the Currys, he marched into my office again. He announced, "I just left the athletic director's office, where I demanded that you be fired!" I asked the important question, "I guess the beach house is out of the question this summer?" But back in the last hours of my zero and zero days, I walked onto Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama where our Georgia Tech team was to play our first game against No. 1 Alabama and their legendary coach, Bear Bryant. I had played for him in the Coaches' All-America game and he had been wonderful to me ever since. As I stood in the 120 degree heat on the artificial surface during stretching, I could not for the life of me locate Coach Bryant. I knew there was some kind of hand shaking ritual with head coaches, but was not sure how to go about it. Before, he had always assumed his cross-legged lean onto the home team goal post, wearing his hound's tooth hat. But he was nowhere to be found. At length I got distracted but then I felt more than saw the phalanx of photographers moving in my direction at a dirge-like pace. In the middle towered Coach Bryant, wearing a funny little white hat. He approached, grabbed me by the hand, and growled, "Hell son, can't you say hello to a fellow when you visit his place?" I said, "I could not find you, and besides, you have on the wrong hat." He mumbled something about the other one being too hot, and then with surprising quickness grabbed my sansabelt slacks, began to affectionately yank me around, and insisted, "Coach Dodd put you up to that stuff about not finding me, didn't he?" Here I was, just prior to our very first game, about to suffer "wardrobe malfunction" in front of seventy thousand people. And this was not Justin Timberlake who had ahold of my pants. I managed to keep my britches on but lost the game. It was Alabama 26, Georgia Tech 3 ... The Coach was kind to us. I had gone from Bill Curry (0-0) to Bill Curry (0-1), and life was never quite the same again. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!

[RollTideFan] A really tough Neighbors-hood
http://www.southbendtribune.com/stories/2004/08/13/sports.20040813-sbt-MICH-SS8-A_really_tough.sto A really tough Neighbors-hood 'Bama tackle found success COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME ENSHRINEMENT 2004 By STEVE WILTFONG Tribune Staff Writer Billy Neighbors was an anchor of the Alabama offensive and defensive lines. Photo provided Billy Neighbors "lived, dreamed and worked football" his first 2 1/2 years at the University of Alabama. He had no choice. It was 1958 and Alabama had just been through three terrible seasons under nice guy coach J.B. Whitworth. In a drastic change of leadership, the university fired Whitworth and hired 44-year old Paul Bryant. Neighbors was already committed to play for the Tide before Bryant was hired. That fall, Neighbors, a two-way tackle, and 107 other players arrived on campus for their freshman year. "I never heard of him before," Neighbors said of Bryant. "It didn't take long to find out who he was." Football was never so hard. Neighbors' father passed away when he was 6. He remembers listening to stories his dad would tell about Alabama football, and he dreamed of playing for the Crimson Tide. Those dreams became a nightmare under Bryant. "Coach Bryant was rough as the devil when he first got there," Neighbors said. "He worked us unmercifully." Neighbors was ready to quit early into his freshman year. "I just didn't have anywhere to go," Neighbors said. "That's what my momma told me. I called her and told her I was coming home, and she said there is nothing here. You better stay there." Neighbors was just one of nine guys who stuck it out in the class of 1961. Freshman weren't the only guys who couldn't hack it. The day Neighbors arrived on campus, his brother, a senior, quit. Bryant asked him to lose two pounds and he refused. Neighbors' senior year, Alabama won the first of six national championships under Bryant. That season Neighbors was an all-Southeastern Conference and consensus All-America selection. He was named the top lineman in the SEC, as well as most valuable player of the Senior Bowl. Those credentials solidified his spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. "I never thought (earning a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame) would happen to me," said Neighbors, who went on to play eight seasons in the NFL. "I was lucky I played on a great football team at Alabama. I played with some great players, and played for a great coach." "He was a quiet guy but a good, terrific player," teammate and 1983 Hall of Fame inductee Lee Roy Jordan said. "He was one of the main reasons we won a national championship in 1961." Neighbors can only recall two conversations with Bryant during his four years at Alabama. Once for skipping class and another for a bad game against Tulane. "He chewed my (butt) out," Neighbors explained. "I thought I played well. "I was so afraid of coach Bryant. He never said anything to me. He never got on me. Every time I saw him coming, I stayed out of his way." October 15, 1960 was the day Alabama last lost a game in which Neighbors played. The Crimson Tide were beaten by host Tennessee, 20-7. "That was the coaches' fault," Neighbors said. "Bryant admitted that. He chewed us out first, then the coaches, then himself." Alabama was 8-1-2 that year, and 11-0 the following campaign. In the middle of the 1960 season, Bryant stopped working the team so hard. "We got good and I guess he saw that," Neighbors said. "We stopped doing drills and didn't scrimmage more than 10 minutes." There was still running to stay in shape. Other than that, the team walked through new plays without pads and watched film. During the national title year, Neighbors and the Alabama defense allowed just 25 points the entire season. The Tide posted six shutouts. "It was magic," Neighbors said. "We knew we were going to win because we knew they couldn't score on us." Alabama played Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl that year. A lot of the guys on the team came down with the flu that week. "Probably the reason why we won was because of Billy Neighbors play," Jordan said. "It was just one of those deals that he took on himself. He hadn't been sick and that he could do some extra things." In a 10-3 win, Neighbors and the defense kept Arkansas on its own side of the 50 in the first half. In the summertime, Neighbors and Jordan, who was one class younger, worked in a paper mill together for extra money. The two are still good friends. Neighbors now lives in Huntsville, Ala., with his wife. He is in his 37th year as a financial advisor at Wachovia Securities.

[RollTideFan] TGIF Groaner - (nonBama)
Subject: Car Problems... "Texas" A man was driving through west Texas one spring evening. The road was deserted and he had not seen a soul for what seemed like hours. Suddenly his car started to cough and splutter and the engine slowly died away, leaving him sitting on the side of the road in total silence. He popped the hood and looked to see if there was anything that he could do to get it going again. Unfortunately, he had a limited knowledge of cars, so all he could do was look at the engine, feeling despondent. As he stood looking at the gradually fading light of his flashlight, he cursed that he had not put in new batteries, like he had promised himself. Suddenly, through the inky shadows, came a deep voice, "It's your fuel pump." The man raised up quickly, striking his head on the underside of the hood. "Who said that?" he demanded. There were two horses standing in the fenced field alongside the road and the man was amazed when the nearest of the two horses repeated, "It's your fuel pump. Tap it with your flashlight, and try it again." Confused, the man tapped the fuel pump with his flashlight, turned the key and sure enough, the engine roared to life. He muttered a short thanks to the horse and screeched away. When he reached the next town, he ran into the local bar. "Gimme a large whiskey, please!" he said. A rancher sitting at the bar looked at the man's ashen face and asked, "What's wrong, man? You look like you've seen a ghost!" "It's unbelievable," the man said and recalled the whole tale to the rancher. The rancher took a sip of his beer and looked thoughtful. "A horse, you say? Was it by any chance a white horse?" The man replied to the affirmative. "Yes, it was! Am I crazy?" "No, you ain't crazy. In fact, you're lucky," said the rancher, "because the black horse don't know shit about cars!" . . . . . . . . . . I'm tired of "Groaners" and "Politics"... It's time for *ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE FOOTBALL* !!

http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/ledgerenquirer/sports/9387488.htm Fri, Aug. 13, 2004 Tigers lose two players: Irons tears ACL, Denson asks for release BY CHRISTA TURNER Staff Writer AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn took two major hits in the secondary during practice Thursday morning, losing two of its top cornerbacks. David Irons, a junior competing for a starting spot opposite Carlos Rogers, shredded the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of his left knee late in the practice and likely will miss the entire season. Also, head coach Tommy Tuberville said backup Courtney Denson will leave the team and transfer to a school closer to his Miami home. Irons originally signed with the Tigers in 2001, but didn't make qualify and went to Butler Community College in Kansas. A knee injury there forced him to take a redshirt season, meaning he does not have one available for this injury. After two years at Butler, Irons re-signed with the Tigers last year, but came up just short of meeting the requirements and went back to Butler for a final semester. He joined the Tigers in January. Denson, a redshirt freshman, switched from quarterback to the secondary and it was anticipated he would receive ample playing time this season. "He just wants to move back closer to home," Tuberville said. "We're going to release him. He's a good young man. He worked hard. It's just one of those things where he felt like he needed to get closer to his family. We hate to see him go." The loss of Denson and Irons means Kevin Hobbs may return to cornerback. Hobbs started seven games at cornerback with 31 tackles and three interceptions but moved to safety in the spring. With Rogers nursing a sprained knee, the Tigers will look to former Loachapoka (Ala.) High School standout Montae Pitts to step up. Redshirt freshman Patrick Lee and walk-on redshirt freshman Zach Gilbert should see increased playing time. In addition to Irons, several other Tigers missed practice. Running back Ronnie Brown sat out with a bruised knee, while freshman running back Jerald Watson also sat out. Receiver Silas Daniels bumped his head trying to make a catch and missed part of practice. Meanwhile, several players worked to get back onto the playing field. Rogers, said he was close to being back, as did tight end Cooper Wallace. Wallace re-aggravated a hamstring he pulled during the final summer workout. He sat for two weeks, allowing it to heal, but pulled it again on his first route of the first Auburn practice. The Tigers practiced for more than two hours on the intramural fields. Tuberville called it the team's best practice this fall and especially pointed to the offense and the offensive line. "(Offense) had been dragging and getting their ears beat off by the defense," Tuberville said. "But they came out with a better attitude than defense.

[RollTideFan] Shula pleased with Tide workout
http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/NEWSV5/storyV5collegecamps13o.htm Shula pleased with Tide workout August 13, 2004 TUSCALOOSA -- In day three of fall camp, the University of Alabama football team donned shoulder pads for the first time and second-year head coach Mike Shula was pleased with the overall performance of his football team. "This was our first day in (shoulder) pads and the third day overall and for the most part things went pretty well," Shula said following the two-hour, 45-minute session. "We talk to our guys about showing up a little more now that the (shoulder) pads are on, and we did just that today. Overall, it was a pretty good day." The first day in shoulder pads brought on more contact work for the Crimson Tide. Shula noted the performances of freshman receivers DJ Hall and Ezekial Knight and junior defensive end Mark Anderson. The Crimson Tide will work again today at 2:45 p.m. and hold its first full pad workout on Saturday at 2:45 p.m. The first day of two-a-days is set for Sunday and the first scrimmage of the preseason is set for Monday afternoon at Bryant-Denny Stadium. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!

[RollTideFan] Bama lands recruit from premier California school
http://www.al.com/sports/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/ sports/1092388714306450.xml Bama lands recruit from premier California school Friday, August 13, 2004 STEVE IRVINE News staff writer Alabama went across the country to land its latest football commitment. Jimmy Barnes, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound quarterback from Los Alamitos High in California committed to the Crimson Tide earlier this week. Barnes, who chose Alabama over Notre Dame, North Carolina State, Miami and Arizona, informed Alabama head coach Mike Shula and offensive coordinator Dave Rader of his decision while on a family vacation in Minnesota. "It's nice to get it out of the way, but I just wanted to make the right decision - which I did," Barnes said. Barnes visited Alabama with his family this summer and participated in a one-day camp. He hopes to take an official visit during the season. "The coaching staff was great, the campus was beautiful, the atmosphere was awesome," Barnes said. "Playing in SEC, me being from California, that's kind of cool." Barnes threw for 2,346 yards and 20 touchdowns as a junior at Los Alamitos. His father, John, is the head coach at Los Alamitos, which is one of the premier programs in California. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!
