Although Tankersley did not allow a base runner in his three innings of work, the Jammers eventually lost to the Vermont Expos, 3-2.

http://www.tidesports.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040729/NEWS/40729008/1067 CECIL HURT: Shula stays above the fray and below the radar HOOVER | University of Alabama football coach Mike Shula accomplished what some others deemed impossible on Thursday. He came to metro Birmingham. He talked about his football team and the upcoming season. When the Alabama-Tennessee series was mentioned, he managed to be gracious, not inflammatory. While Phil Fulmer was erupting over the telephone in the other room, Shula managed not to step in anything that Fulmer was spewing. If his critics want to say that Shula passed under the radar screen on Thursday, that might have been his preferred position. The Crimson Tide head coach was more relaxed in his second SEC Media Days appearance. Thats understandable, since last year, he had to field questions about a team that he had inherited but had never even watched in a practice session. I was just trying to remember everyones name, and that included my coaches, Shula joked. Shula was asked numerous times, in tones ranging from angry to understanding, about the future of the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry. He always responded in a positive fashion. Alabama versus Tennessee is what college football is all about, Shula said. I think its great, and I am looking forward to this years game. When pressed for more specific comments, Shula simply said, weve got enough things to worry about in Tuscaloosa. Thats true, as it would be for any coach looking to rebuild a 4-9 team under the yoke of NCAA scholarship sanctions. Shula, though, didnt sound worried. He seemed realistic about the expectations for Alabama which was picked to finish fourth in the SEC West but was also positive about the future. He also talked in specifics about the numbers for the upcoming squad. He said that the 105-man roster for the Aug. 9 reporting date was pretty well set, and that he did not anticipate any academic casualties among current players, although a couple still have some work to do. He also said he was still waiting on word about one signee (Ezekial Knight, although he couldnt use the name) and said that Alabama would definitely have 19 eligible newcomers when practice begins. That will give us 74 scholarship players, Shula said. Thats less than most teams, but its about what we had last year. The thing thats encouraging to me is that everything goes just right, we could be back at 85 next year. Those numbers would include a little stretching to incorporate walk-ons who were awarded scholarships, but the point was that Shula was trying to talk about positives, instead of spinning excuses. He did the same thing when talking about the incoming class. He said that the Tide could easily have 10 true freshmen receiving playing time, and possibly as many as 13. That doesnt even include two junior college signees that will be included in the group of 19 that reports on Aug. 9, which means that there could be as few as three or four redshirts out of this class (primarily on the offensive line, one would suppose.) When asked if it was possible that two true freshmen could start at wide receiver if the Tide opened in a four-wide formation, Shula didnt hedge. Definitely two, he said. And possibly more. Again, thats at last two true freshmen starting on offense. And, as Shula says, possibly more. Were not going to be afraid of playing guys, Shula said. We arent going to play them if they arent ready, but we are going to do our best to get them ready. All morning long, Shula had ready-made excuses at hand. His team will be short on depth. His team will be inexperienced at some key positions. The ongoing bickering about the NCAA will be a distraction. He chose to embrace none of them. Our players have done a great job over the past few years, when they could have been distracted, of keeping their minds on football, he said. Thats what we want. Its nice to be bowl eligible, but we dont want them thinking about which bowl we want to go to, we want them thinking about the first game. If you win one week at a time, then the bowl will take care of itself. At one point, Shula was asked if he was under pressure to win. Is this college football? he responded. Youre always under pressure to win. At another point, a well-meaning reporter asked Shula if he would encourage Alabama fans to be patient in 2004. I hope I never use those words be patient, Shula said. Our seniors dont want to hear that. Im not predicting any number of wins, but we are going to try to win every one of them. My message to Alabama fans is not be patient. Its to keep on being Alabama fans. Cecil Hurt is sports editor of The Tuscaloosa News. Reach him at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 205-722-0225. -- Yea, Alabama!

[RollTideFan] For the RV'ers
Advance permits for RV parking at games sold out The Associated Press July 31, 2004 Recreational vehicle owners have reserved all the $250-$450 campus parking permits for Alabama football games at Tuscaloosa this fall, leaving late RV tailgaters to search for vacant spots in the city. University transportation director Ronnie Robertson said campus construction projects reduced the number of RV parking spots this year. Additional RV parking will be allowed at some locations on the edge of campus, he said. Some of those locations are on Campus Drive east of the four-way stop at Bryce Hospital, in the new Medical School lot, at the old Fort Brandon Armory lot, in the old Capstone Medical Center lot, in the lower Recreation Center lot and the new residence hall lot on Hackberry Lane - if construction activity permits. Including the north Ferguson lot, residence hall construction is taking out about 200-250 first-come-first-serve RV spots, but east campus should hold at least that many, Robertson said. The university issued 60 fewer RV permits in anticipation of renovations to Coleman Coliseum, which will start midseason and cramp parking further. Twenty-three RVs can park at Queen City Park for $375, and 10 can park at River Road East Park for $400. The city and DCH Regional Medical Center also have RV parking lots. Parking officials hope to avoid congestion caused by RVs rolling in Friday afternoons, Robertson said. We still have to look at the fact that this is an educational institution, he said. Jim Eberlien, 65, of Gulf Shores, has had season tickets for the past 20 years and has parked his motor home in several places over the years because of campus parking changes. The main focus of the university is not the football team or me parking my motor home, he said. We understand the university has to grow. Robertson said some fans don't like moving out of favorite spots, but for Eberlien, he'll park anywhere if it means he gets to enjoy the game-day atmosphere and see his beloved team play. But longtime RVer and UA graduate Harold McBride, 77, of Birmingham is dismayed. It seems like they want to run everybody off. It's just not right, he said. Restrictive measures enacted by the university led McBride to start parking in downtown Tuscaloosa two years ago. McBride has a spot reserved for the season, and said there is a long waiting list at his lot. McBride said RV owners feel betrayed because UA officials in the past have promised to expand accommodations for them, but so far have not expanded. -- Yea, Alabama! Drown'em Tide!
