[RollTideFan] Winning Close Games
This article sums up much of what I've been saying. Looks like Mark Edwards has been reading my email. Happy New Year! == MARK EDWARDS Tide must learn to win tight games NASHVILLE You know Alabama football has dropped another notch when opposing schools' bands feel comfortable taunting the Crimson Tide. As the clock struck zero at the end of Minnesota's 20-16 Music City Bowl win Friday over Alabama, the Golden Gopher band briefly played part of Rocky Top, the favorite song in the world of the average Tennessee Vol. Then on top of that, Glen Mason accidentally offended the Alabama fans remaining in the stadium during the awards ceremony. After accepting the Music City trophy, he addressed his team's supporters by saying, You may have been outnumbered, but you weren't outclassed. Clearly, Mason wasn't talking about his school's band. Crimson Tide fans booed him anyway for that one. Mason apologized later when asked about that, saying, I didn't mean to insinuate that they didn't have class. I've got a big mouth. I've said all week that we have tremendous respect for Alabama. We aspire to be like them. If they took what I said the wrong way, I apologize for that sincerely. But the damage was done, as the Crimson Tide got yet another reminder Friday afternoon that their program's glory days have moved a little further in the past. The most hurtful part of the day for Alabama, however, wasn't the snippet of Rocky Top or Mason's choice of words. It was failing to win a game in the fourth quarter when a clear opportunity was there. It's almost as if the Crimson Tide has forgotten how to close out a tight win. Since rallying to beat Iowa State 14-13 in the 2001 Independence Bowl, almost all of Alabama's wins have come when it dominated enough that the game rarely hung on the last offensive or defensive series. Alabama trailed 20-16 when it got the ball at Minnesota's 48 with 3:11 to play but failed to score. How the Crimson Tide didn't manage a touchdown is almost hard to figure. Minnesota has one of the worst pass defenses in the country, and Alabama quarterback Spencer Pennington was having a decent day. Pennington got the Crimson Tide to the Gophers' 19 and had a first down, but four plays netted only 4 yards, and that was it for Alabama. Somewhere in the middle of all those coaching changes, NCAA sanctions and losses, Alabama lost its ability to win games like Friday's. When the Crimson Tide reached the 19-yard line and had first down, it seemed so certain that Alabama would polish off a win. It seemed like the whole stadium had that feeling, too. Maybe I'm wrong, but when looking up into the stands, it appeared Alabama people smiled like they had this one. Meanwhile, Minnesota fans looked like they were going to lose another close game, like they did to Michigan and Iowa. When Pennington's fourth-down pass went incomplete out of bounds, Minnesota's cheerleaders went bonkers like stopping Alabama was the last thing they expected. Sure, it's easy to blame the 10-15 combined record for the last two seasons on the sanctions, gobs of injuries to key players and the inexperience of head coach in Mike Shula. But in games like Friday, when a victory is within a stone's throw, all that stuff doesn't matter that much. Gene Stallings rebuilt Alabama's program temporarily in the 1990s partly because his teams won a large majority of those close games. For Mike Shula, this is another problem he has to fix, because even the best teams have to pull out at least a couple of games like Friday's. http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/sports/columns/050101.shtml -- Roll Tide! ___ RTF mailing list RTF@rolltidefan.net http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net

Here we are in a month named after the Roman god Janus, an appropriate personification of the start of the new year. This particular Roman god had two faces so that he could look ahead toward the future and back at the past at the same time. As we get rid of an old year and look forward to a new one, we all try to be a little like Janus. We know through experience what we did wrong and what we did right, and hope to do better this year. Some people make ambitious new years resolutions; others just take a deep breath and hope for the best. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2005 my Bama Brothers Sisters! May God richly bless each of you!

Re: [RollTideFan] Gallion demands retraction by ESPN
One thing's for sure, Gallion knows how to keep the heat turned up. Someone's lying and Gallion is determined to find out who it is. Roll Tide!! Rick 24 daze till kickoff!! M Laborde wrote: http://www.al.com/sports/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/sports/1092302121303500.xml Gallion demands retraction by ESPN Thursday, August 12, 2004 MIKE PERRIN News staff writer The ESPN commentator who already has issued one on-air clarification of statements he made about college sports in Alabama has been asked to retract another of his editorial comments. Montgomery attorney Thomas Gallion has sent ESPN's John Saunders a letter demanding a retraction for comments he made on last Sunday morning's The Sports Reporters panel discussion show. Commenting on Tennessee football coach Phil Fulmer's decision not to attend SEC Media Days, Saunders said Gallion's clients in a lawsuit, former Alabama assistant coaches Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams, had sued Fulmer and that the lawsuit was like a bank robber suing the witnesses who testified at his trial. Fulmer is not a defendant in the Cottrell-Williams lawsuit, which targets mainly the NCAA, and Gallion's Aug.6 letter asks for a retraction of that misstatement and of the bank robber analogy. (Y)ou stated that Coach Cottrell and Coach Williams had sued Coach Fulmer, Gallion's letter says. This shows how little you researched your subject matter. Neither Cottrell nor Williams have ever sued Coach Fulmer or any other coach. Both of these men are anxious to get back into major college coaching and your false statements have done them great harm. Auburn trustees Bobby Lowder and Jack Miller called for a retraction from ESPN after a Feb.16 comment by Saunders on the same show that implied the trustees were behind a fire that destroyed the office of a Tuskegee newspaper published by a critic of the trustees. Saunders had quoted Paul Davis, the Tuskegee News publisher, as saying the Klan is nothing compared to the trustees at Auburn. Davis later said he had told Saunders that he'd received more death threats covering Auburn than when he was writing about the Ku Klux Klan. Saunders did read a clarification of his statements, saying he had not intended to link the trustees to the fire and that they were not associated with or sympathetic to the Ku Klux Klan. Gallion said his demand for a retraction is a requirement under Alabama law in order to sue for punitive damages. Gallion's letter states that ESPN has five days from receipt of his letter to issue a retraction in the same forum, or face the possibility of punitive damages. Mike Soltys, vice president of communications at ESPN, said that neither Saunders nor anyone else at ESPN had seen the letter and could not comment. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan!
