[RollTideFan] Bounceyball article
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/sec/2004-01-21-alabama-hudson-cover2_x.htm Trailblazer back at 'Bama By Malcolm Moran, USA TODAY TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Student and teacher were reunited in November at the start of Wendell Hudson's new professional life. Hudson, an assistant athletics director at the University of Alabama, was in New York's Madison Square Garden for his first game supervising the basketball program he had changed forever. C.M. Newton, the coach who brought in Hudson as Alabama's first African-American scholarship athlete in 1969, was there for radio commentary. They exchanged memories, shared laughter. They marveled at the road they had traveled. More than three decades have passed since Hudson's playing career ended in the same Madison Square Garden where his new career is beginning. Then, he was the school's first Southeastern Conference player of the year. And Alabama's trip to the '73 National Invitation Tournament was important enough that coach Paul Bryant, the Bear himself, changed his spring football practice schedule to fly to New York and sit on the Crimson Tide bench. The three altered a landscape with an effort built upon Hudson's ability, commitment and demeanor, Newton's vision to build a program with in-state talent regardless of color and Bryant's endorsement of a new coach's initiative. Hudson came home after spending 18 years at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, in capacities that included women's basketball coach, men's basketball coach and athletics director. He is the first former Alabama basketball player to become an administrator in its athletics department. There's a story to his past, but he has been a very successful athletic director at the junior college level, says Alabama coach and former player Mark Gottfried. Wearing the uniform doesn't make you qualified to do it. That's what I like about Wendell and what he has done professionally. I don't have to play catch-up with him. That's because Hudson knows the territory. There's no learning curve, no awkward moments with the coach. His duties will include leading the effort to reconnect with former athletes and helping to carry out the school's first capital campaign for athletics, a $100 million project to improve facilities. The result of his previous effort cannot be calculated. The flippant, often-repeated notion that University of Southern California running back Sam Cunningham's 1970 success against the Crimson Tide was a turning point for integration trivializes the understanding that began to take shape one year earlier. Before Wilbur Jackson and John Mitchell integrated Alabama football, Hudson became the only black resident of Bryant Hall, the athletics dorm. The emerging status of Alabama basketball and the enduring success of Bryant's program would depend upon Hudson's sense of accomplishment and contentment. Wendell was in a position of nodding his head or shaking his head, says Ben Shurett, then a student manager for the basketball program, now a newspaper publisher in Fort Payne, Ala. If he had said, 'You don't want to come here,' that would have had a tremendous effect on the football program. Ray Odums, whose Carver High team lost to Hudson's Parker High in the finals of the first integrated Alabama state tournament in 1969, would enroll at Alabama one year after Hudson's arrival. They were treating him real nice, and he was enjoying himself, says Odums, who became an all-SEC guard. If that hadn't happened? It probably would have really hurt the recruiting of black athletes, he says. Mal Moore, the Alabama athletics director who hired Hudson last summer, was an assistant football coach at the time. He says, The success of Wendell and John Mitchell and Wilbur Jackson did as much for integration in this state as any one thing. It brought everybody together. A matter of family The relationship between Hudson and Newton has always been far more than a milepost for a university, a state and a region. It could be found in the coach's assurance, apprehensive and resolute at once, in response to a mother's question. She said, 'What's it going to be like for my boy down at the university?' Newton says, remembering. I just told her, 'I don't know. I only know how I'm treating him. I'm not going to treat Wendell any different than anybody else. I'm a middle-class white guy. I don't know what it's going to be like.' The relationship began with Newton's admiration for the discipline of a single-parent household in Birmingham and Hudson's ability to navigate without access to a car. The coach would eventually give the player driving lessons. NCAA rule violation, probably, Newton says. If it is, bury me. After his wife, Evelyn, died in March 2000, Newton began to suspect, correctly, that Hudson had something to do with the periodic telephone calls from former players. Soon after, when Newton would learn of an honor

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1713916 Associated Press NACOGDOCHES, Texas -- Texas AM running back Derek Farmer became the second key offensive player to leave the team Tuesday when he enrolled at Stephen F. Austin for his senior season. Farmer followed backup quarterback Dustin Long, who started classes last week at Sam Houston State University. By transferring to NCAA Division I-AA Southland Conference schools, both players are eligible to play immediately. We are as excited to have someone of Derek's abilities come into our program as he is about coming to Stephen F. Austin, SFA coach Mike Santiago said. He has the potential to add more quality to an already good football team. In three seasons at Texas AM, Farmer gained 1,582 yards. He started all 12 Aggie games last season and gained 340 yards on 82 carries. His performance was overshadowed by Courtney Lewis, who rushed 1,024 yards. AM coach Dennis Franchione was not immediately available for comment. [...] __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan! Wear a cup!

http://nfldraftblitz.com/mock_draft.htm Mock Draft 1/9/04 The following draft uses the order that teams would currently draft under. Please note that teams #31 and #32 are both AFC teams and will obviously not draft in those spots due to the fact that Super Bowl participants occupy those spots. But for the time being it would seem silly to move teams around. The only underclassmen included are those we feel are very likely to enter the draft. ... 40.Jacksonville Jaguars PICK: Antwaan Odom, DE, Alabama Improving the pass rush especially from the edge is a priority for the Jags. Odom is an athletic prospect who might need a year but is capable of becoming a very good player. 93.Kansas City Chiefs PICK: Justin Smiley, G, Alabama The eventual replacement for Will Shields. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan!
