Re: [RollTideFan] Internet bullets can't stop Croyle

I agree with you 110% Slefand to add, I'd love to see what his 
career would've been like had his four years been different, ie. no 
injuries, a full  roster of players, and more stable coachingI think 
the kid would've been one of the greatsJVWatts

  Internet bullets can't stop CroyleBy BRYAN 
  APPAlligator Staff 
  Writer
   
  Photo 
  Courtesy of Alabama Sports Information After an ACL tear and false 
  internet rumors of his kidnapping in Argentina, Alabama quarterback Brodie 
  Croyle attempts to overcome past woes and lead the Tide to prominence. 
  
  HOOVER, Ala. - Smashed shoulder, crushed knee, kidnapped and shot, Alabama 
  quarterback Brodie Croyle has never felt better.
  That's because Croyle will return as the Crimson Tide quarterback despite 
  rumors of his kidnapping in July in Argentina.
  Now, disciples of Bear Bryant can rest easy.
  Before Croyle could become the next Natalee Holloway, the senior dispelled 
  the myths at Southeastern Conference Media Days on Friday.
  Internet rumors began to swirl shortly after Croyle embarked on a four-day 
  dove hunting excursion with his father and friends in rural Argentina.
  With no cell phone service, Croyle's crew could check in with relatives 
  back home only at night. But when the quarterback called home one night, his 
  mother notified him of his terrible fate.
  "My mother said that I was dead," Croyle said. "Another one of my buddies 
  called his mom, and she heard that I'd been shot. And then another one called, 
  she heard we had been kidnapped. I don't know how or where it all got 
  started."
  Being the center of gossip is commonplace for a starting quarterback at 
  such a tradition-rich program. It's a burden Croyle said he can handle until 
  his family becomes involved.
  "[My mom] had to sit there for six hours and not know whether we were dead 
  or alive. That was one of the cases of when it went too far," Croyle said. "I 
  guess it's good people don't want to forget about football even though it's 
  the summer and spring. But at some point, enough is enough."
  But with a promising season on the horizon and Croyle healthy for the first 
  time in nearly two years, it's understandable why Alabama diehards are a 
  little on edge.
  As a sophomore, Croyle impressed then-rookie head coach Mike Shula, playing 
  through shoulder injuries to gain 2,303 yards - the second most in school 
  history - and tying a school-record 16 touchdowns set by Shula in 1985. 
  "[He] never said a word about it, never," said Shula, who's entering his 
  third season with the Crimson Tide. "Nobody is tougher than Brodie as far as 
  injuries go."
  During his junior year, however, Croyle's threshold for pain couldn't 
  conquer a season-ending ACL tear in his right knee, suffered a mere three 
  games into the season.
  After a successful surgery in September, Croyle has made the long road to 
  recovery while answering an estimated 50 to 75 questions per day regarding his 
  health.
  And sometimes the answers varied, depending on who was asking.
  "I'd mess with them every once and awhile," Croyle said. "I'd tell them 
  that I'm done playing, that they actually didn't fix my ACL." 
  Now, Croyle might actually be able to provide the answers Alabama fans want 
  to hear.
  "He's pretty much out of the rehab mode," Shula said. "He's into increasing 
  his strength and conditioning and really looks as good as he ever looked since 
  he's been here. We have got to monitor him, [but] he's at full go right from 
  day one of practice."
  This season, Croyle plans to stay that way.
  When asked what he's learned from his ordeal, Croyle responded, 
"Slide."
  "I wasn't raised that way," said Croyle, whose father was a defensive end 
  for Bryant at Alabama. "My dad always told me, ?You get every yard you can get 
  when you can get it. And if you can't get off the field, you're season is done 
  one way or the other.' I got the OK from Big John to slide. I'm good to go 
  now."

[RollTideFan] Tide's Taylor leaving team

[Pat Smoot]

Article published Aug 2, 2005
Tide's Taylor leaving team

By Cecil Hurt
Sports Editor

TUSCALOOSA | Shawn Taylor, a 6-foot-11 center on last year's University of 
Alabama basketball team, will leave UA to play at Chipola (Fla.) Junior 
College this season, Crimson Tide head coach Mark Gottfried said on Monday.


Gottfried said he wished Taylor well but was "disappointed" in the decision, 
which was based on Taylor's desire for immediate playing time.


"Shawn was still developing and I think he would have eventually matured 
into a good player for us," Gottfried said. "This is also a prime example of 
how you can get hurt on the APR (the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate). This 
will count against us even though it's a situation that was totally beyond 
our control."


Taylor, a native of Unadilla, Ga., sat out the 2003-04 season as a redshirt. 
He appeared in 11 games last season, averaging 1.6 points and 1.4 rebounds 
per game in those appearances.


Alabama appears set on the interior for the upcoming season with seniors 
Chuck Davis and Evan Brock, junior Jermareo Davidson and freshmen Richard 
Hendrix and Yamene Coleman. However, Taylor's departure will leave UA with 
no more than 11 players on scholarship for the upcoming season, two below 
the NCAA limit of 13. Additionally, UA is still awaiting word on the 
academic status of junior college signee Ray George. The 6-4 guard is 
finishing classes at Perimeter Junior College in Decatur, Ga., and is not 
yet eligible for the upcoming season.


Coleman, a 6-9 center from Wilcox County, was recently cleared for freshman 
eligibility by the NCAA Clearinghouse and is expected to arrive on the UA 
campus later this month.


Since last season, Alabama has had four scholarship players transfer out of 
the program: Taylor, Akini Adkins, Glenn Miles and Albert Weber. The Tide 
also lost leading scorer Kennedy Winston, who left school early to pursue a 
professional career but was not selected in the NBA draft.


With three seniors (Davis, Brock and Jean Felix) on next year's roster, 
Alabama could be looking to sign as many as six players in the upcoming 
recruiting season, which begins in November. The Crimson Tide already has 
two commitments, guard Mikhael Torrance of Mobile and forward Avery Jukes of 
Atlanta.


In other men's basketball news, Gottfried said he anticipated finalizing the 
Crimson Tide's 2005-06 schedule "in the next week or two."


"We're waiting on one more game," Gottfried said. "We hope to have 
everything completed soon."


In addition to its Southeastern Conference schedule, Alabama will play its 
usual demanding non-conference slate. The Crimson Tide will open the season 
against Miami (Ohio) in the Preseason NIT. UA would face a potential 
second-round game against Memphis, and could play teams like UCLA and Duke 
if it reaches the tournament semifinals in New York.


Alabama also has home games with Notre Dame and North Carolina State and 
road contests against Temple and Oklahoma on its early schedule.

[RollTideFan] Internet bullets can't stop Croyle

Internet bullets can't stop CroyleBy BRYAN APPAlligator Staff Writer
 
Photo Courtesy of Alabama Sports Information After an ACL tear and false internet rumors of his kidnapping in Argentina, Alabama quarterback Brodie Croyle attempts to overcome past woes and lead the Tide to prominence. 
HOOVER, Ala. - Smashed shoulder, crushed knee, kidnapped and shot, Alabama quarterback Brodie Croyle has never felt better.
That's because Croyle will return as the Crimson Tide quarterback despite rumors of his kidnapping in July in Argentina.
Now, disciples of Bear Bryant can rest easy.
Before Croyle could become the next Natalee Holloway, the senior dispelled the myths at Southeastern Conference Media Days on Friday.
Internet rumors began to swirl shortly after Croyle embarked on a four-day dove hunting excursion with his father and friends in rural Argentina.
With no cell phone service, Croyle's crew could check in with relatives back home only at night. But when the quarterback called home one night, his mother notified him of his terrible fate.
"My mother said that I was dead," Croyle said. "Another one of my buddies called his mom, and she heard that I'd been shot. And then another one called, she heard we had been kidnapped. I don't know how or where it all got started."
Being the center of gossip is commonplace for a starting quarterback at such a tradition-rich program. It's a burden Croyle said he can handle until his family becomes involved.

But with a promising season on the horizon and Croyle healthy for the first time in nearly two years, it's understandable why Alabama diehards are a little on edge.
