Clark http://alabama.scout.com/2/922018.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:15:00 GMT 1 14 Alabama alabama Now we can finally talk about the Auburn game, even in the presence of Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban. http://alabama.scout.com/2/922011.html Mitch Dobbs http://alabama.scout.com/2/922011.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:50:00 GMT 1 14 Alabama alabama Chattanooga probably felt as if it had been run over by a choo-choo train. It remains to be seen if Alabama’s convincing 45-0 victory over the Mocs at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday helps put the Crimson Tide on the fast track to championships in upcoming weeks. http://alabama.scout.com/2/922006.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/922006.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:46:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama There’s a story told from long ago about Chattanooga’s arrangement with the University of Tennessee. This was in the day of legendary Vols Coach Robert Neyland. http://alabama.scout.com/2/922002.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/922002.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:33:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama Senario Hillman made two key plays, neither of which involved him taking a shot, as Alabama came from behind with 10 straight points to close out the game and get a basketball victory at Coleman Coliseum Friday night. http://alabama.scout.com/2/921906.html A.P. Steadham http://alabama.scout.com/2/921906.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:41:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Good for postal workers. Those things don’t bother Nick Saban, either, when he’s thinking about the pre-game coin toss. But wind? That’s another matter. http://alabama.scout.com/2/921701.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/921701.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:30:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama Size doesn’t always matter, even in basketball. But Alabama Coach Anthony Grant has noted on more than one occasion that this year’s Crimson Tide is undersized. Friday night might be a rare situation for Alabama as the Tide will be slightly larger than the opponent. http://alabama.scout.com/2/921456.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/921456.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:29:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama If the award for best defensive player is based on statistics, Alabama's Terrence Cody is the wrong nominee. In fact, it's hard to fathom an award for best defensive player than doesn't have as a strong nominee Bama middle linebacker Rolando McClain. http://alabama.scout.com/2/921424.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/921424.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:34:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama Mark Barron can expect a busy day Saturday, and he’s probably looking forward to it. The Alabama safety leads the Southeastern Conference in interceptions with six through 10 games. If Chattanooga, Bama’s Saturday foe, stays true to form, Barron can expect a number of opportunities to add to his interceptions. http://alabama.scout.com/2/921358.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/921358.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:12:00 GMT 1 14 Alabama alabama While most observers consider Alabama’s Saturday game against Chattanooga to be a breather, the Crimson Tide coach is not among them. He speaks of the Mocs improving by five wins in one season. Others might point out that Chattanooga is 6-4 with a new coach because of a 1-9 record last year. http://alabama.scout.com/2/921236.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/921236.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:12:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama One reason you hear Mark Ingram’s name a lot in conversation about the Heisman Trophy is that Ingram is having an exceptional season while playing to one of the nation’s top teams. One reason you don’t hear much about Ingram for Heisman is that Ingram is very reluctant to discuss it. http://alabama.scout.com/2/921101.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/921101.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:03:00 GMT 1 14 Alabama alabama The University of Alabama has produced a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) score of 70, exceeding acceptable standards for completion of undergraduate studies nationally for the period covering student-athletes who attended The University between 1999 and 2002, according to figures released by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). http://alabama.scout.com/2/921069.html UofA Media Relations http://alabama.scout.com/2/921069.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:39:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama The Alabama men’s basketball team got its first win under new Coach Anthony Grant Tuesday night at Coleman Coliseum, and the Crimson Tide relied primarily on new players for the win over Jackson State. http://alabama.scout.com/2/920851.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/920851.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:18:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama Brandon Cottom is a player that’s been talked about as an outside linebacker prospect for some time now, but the jumbo running back thinks his future is on the offensive side of the ball and talks about who is recruiting him. http://alabama.scout.com/2/920810.html Matt Alkire http://alabama.scout.com/2/920810.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:26:00 GMT 1 14 Alabama alabama Charles Davis is a speedy running back from Neptune, N.J., that is already holding an offer from Rutgers whom he holds in high regard, but other schools are after him as well which he talked to Scout.com about on Tuesday night. http://alabama.scout.com/2/920804.html Matt Alkire http://alabama.scout.com/2/920804.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:10:00 GMT 1 14 Alabama alabama Greg McElroy was everyone’s favorite whipping boy for a few weeks. As Alabama struggled to score touchdowns, everyone from national media and local fans were pointing to McElroy’s lack of production. One thing that didn’t change, though, was McElroy and teammates producing victories. http://alabama.scout.com/2/920621.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/920621.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:40:00 GMT 1 14 Alabama alabama The Alabama women’s basketball team will open its home season Tuesday at 5 p.m. The Crimson Tide men’s team will be attempting to get its first victory of the season, also in Coleman Coliseum, beginning 30 minutes after the women’s game, expected to be about 7:30 p.m. Jackson State is providing the opposition in both contests. http://alabama.scout.com/2/920446.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/920446.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:02:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama Alabama is working on a season to remember. Crimson Tide Coach Nick Saban wants to make sure that this week doesn’t produce the game that wipes out all the good memories. Bama has worked its way up to second in the Associated Press poll and in the Bowl Championship Series standings. http://alabama.scout.com/2/920430.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/920430.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:02:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama One doesn’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out the angle a sportswriter is working for a feature story sometimes. This week Don Kausler of the Birmingham News was checking up on what the team does on the Friday before a Saturday game. And it was eventually revealed that Tide players had a fun time at the movies. http://alabama.scout.com/2/920381.html Kirk McNair http://alabama.scout.com/2/920381.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:54:00 GMT 0 14 Alabama alabama
