[RollTideFan] Bama takes out No. 1 Stanford...

2004-03-20 Thread J.E. Lisby
	For more than two thirds of the game, Alabama's match-up with No. 1 ranked 
Stanford played out true to form. But the Tide suddenly got hot on the 
offensive end and hit its foul shots down the stretch to advance with a 
70-67 win.

	Antoine Pettway hit a short shot from the middle of the lane with five 
seconds to play Thursday as the Alabama basketball team advanced to the 
second round of the NCAA basketball tournament. Pettway's shot put Bama up 
by 65-64 and the Crimson Tide defense stopped a game-winning effort by 
Southern Illinois.

	Tuesday afternoon, Alabama’s football team had its final day in full gear 
prior to Saturday’s A-Day Game–which will be not quite a game. It was the 
13th of 15 spring practice days.

	Spring training will conclude Sunday when the offense goes against the 
defense in a controlled scrimmage at 2:30 p.m. CST at Bryant-Denny Stadium. 
There will be a pre-A-Day workout Thursday in shorts.

[RollTideFan] Shula's press conference...

2004-01-08 Thread J.E. Lisby
No real new news at Shula's press conference other than the NCAA 
letter. Shula said the assistant coaches applauded in the meeting when they 
were told. Said they were the ones that had been forced to deal with all 
the false rumors on the recruiting trail.

Pollard did nothing at all wrong. It was a matter of Shula getting 
a chance to hire what he sees as one of the best SC coaches in the NFL.

No other staff changes, and everyone there took that to include 
on- and off-the-field positions.

There's a chance that Brodie will be able to do some partial team 
work during spring practice--Shula called it 7-on-7 work. Spencer will do 
some light throwing, but nothing more.

[RollTideFan] No real Hudson news...

2003-11-13 Thread J.E. Lisby
	It was no surprise Thursday that Alabama Head Football Coach Mike Shula 
addressed the Ray Hudson situation before discussing Crimson Tide football 
practice or Saturday's game against third-ranked LSU. And it was also no 
great surprise that the announcement regarding Hudson disclosed little.

[RollTideFan] Tide LSU have motivation...

2003-11-12 Thread J.E. Lisby
	Alabama Head Football Coach Mike Shula knows that LSU has motivation. But, 
he said, We have motivation, too.

	Shula thinks that last year's 31-0 Alabama victory over LSU in Baton Rouge 
might play a part in motivating the Bengal Tigers. Put yourself in their 
shoes, he said. But their motivation has to be the chance to play for the 
national championship.

[RollTideFan] Tide takes satisfying win...

2003-11-08 Thread J.E. Lisby
	No championships were at stake Saturday. Alabama and Mississippi State 
were meeting in Starkville as the two worst teams in the Southeastern 
Conference Western Division.

	For the Bulldogs the misery continues. For the Crimson Tide and first-year 
Bama Coach Mike Shula the bleeding has stopped, at least temporarily, after 
Bama rolled to a 38-0 win over State.

	Some may speculate on how much better the season might have been for 
sophomore Alabama quarterback Brodie Croyle had he not suffered a shoulder 
separation, but Crimson Tide Head Coach Mike Shula isn't one of them. Nor 
does Shula have an interest in looking ahead to how good an injury-free 
Croyle may be in the future.

2003-11-05 Thread J.E. Lisby
	Crimson Tide began game week preparation Sunday with what Shula perceived 
to be a renewed energy. It was good to get back to work after the bye 
week, Shula said.

	He said the team needed the time off physically and mentally. We had some 
who needed to heal. And everyone needed to clear his head and get ready to 
go win football games. The bye week definitely helped. The players had a 
good attitude Sunday. There was a lot of energy and good focus.

[RollTideFan] Depth becomes a concern...

2003-09-16 Thread J.E. Lisby
	Injuries are part of college football. And three games into the season and 
counting, Alabama is sporting its share of bumps, twists and bruises.

	We've got depth, Head Coach Mike Shula said in discussing the problem. 
I don't know if we have great depth... Probably not as much as we want.

	It's a good bet that when most Alabama football fans looked at this year's 
schedule, the closest thing they saw to a breather for the Crimson Tide was 
Northern Illinois. To the surprise of no one, Alabama Head Coach Mike Shula 
doesn't see it that way.

	Alabama's football team squandered a number of scoring opportunities at 
Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday night. Fortunately the Crimson Tide had 
opportunities to spare as Bama defeated Kentucky, 27-17, in the 
Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

	Alabama improved its record to 2-1, while the Wildcats fell to 1-2.

He's listed at 6-4, 190. I'm not sure he's quite that tall, though 
6-2 would certainly be legitimate. Also, he looks thicker than 190 to me.

	Alabama's football team will have something of a rehearsal Friday as Coach

sidelines organization for players and coaches, etc., and partly practice 
of special situations, such as the punt after a safety and some other 
special situations, many of them relative to the kicking game.
