Bammers of the Week

Most inbred of the inbred Bammer

When I look into that poor child's dimly lit eyes, I cannot see a future, only a wasted life and a one that never stood a chance. It makes me sad to think that he is traveling down a dead end road, not ever seeing the sign on his right because he isn't able to read it.

More Bammerham Bias?

On the front page of The Birmingham News is an article about today's head football coaches in the SEC and if they are the best ever assembled. There are 5 pictures of coaches (Meyer, Fulmer, Sa6an, Spurrier, Miles) on the front page. I'm sure what they are doing is highlighting the 5 coaches who have won a Mythical National Championship and what those coaches have done is great. To leave off Coach Tuberville does not sit well with WRAS.

You want a more exclusive club than the 5 MNC coaches? How about current coaches in the SEC who have had an undefeated season? That would be two, Tuberville and Fulmer.

Here are the coaches that have had undefeated and untied seasons since the SEC was formed...

Auburn - Tommy Tuberville (2004), Shug Jordan (1957), Terry Bowden (1993)

Alabama - Paul Bryant (1961, 66, 79), Gene Stallings (1992), Frank Thomas (1934, 45)

Georgia - Vince Dooley (1980), Wally Butts (1946)

Tennessee - Philip Fulmer (1998), Robert Neyland (1938)

LSU - Paul Dietzel (1958)

Ole Miss - Johnny Vaught (1962)

That is the list. Pretty impressive, huh? The people on this list are the best of the best, have their names on stadiums, stand tall as statues and have streets named after them on campus. Only Paul Bryant and Frank Thomas have multiple undefeated seasons and with one more, MNC or not, Tommy Tuberville will belong on the shortest of lists of greatest coaches in SEC history.

#29 - The Scandal Plagued University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa

Quote of the Day

http://www.2theadvocate.com/sports/lsu/25743514.html

Speaking to a crowd of more than 500 LSU fans in a Tiger Tour stop at the Hilton Riverside hotel in New Orleans, Miles made an offhand comment regarding LSU’s victory over Alabama last season.

Miles’ Tigers beat the Crimson Tide, coached last season for the first time by former LSU coach Nick Saban, 41-34 in Tuscaloosa. The Tigers went on to win the BCS national championship.

According to The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, Miles cautioned LSU fans “not to make too much of that game, as it seems like a lot of teams in Louisiana beat that team.”

Miles’ reference was to Alabama’s 21-14 loss to Louisiana-Monroe last year, two weeks after falling to LSU.

John Clayton Praises Rudi & Cadillac

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=3491802

Q: Do you think Bengals RB Rudi Johnson has enough left in the tank to regain the form he had when he rushed for more than 1,400 yards?

Seeing Johnson in minicamp was a revelation. He has worked out so hard this offseason -- he's a ball of muscles. It was amazing how quickly he was hitting the holes. He has the ability to get to the 1,400-yard level, but I'm not sure he will have enough carries for that number. The days of the 350-carry back are over, and the Bengals will try to get Chris Perry involved a little. From what I see, though, Johnson has a chance to have a Pro Bowl season. He looks awesome.

Q: Will Cadillac Williams regain his starting spot in Tampa Bay or will he lose his spot to Earnest Graham? If so, will he go down as one of the biggest blunders in the draft at RB?

Cadillac was a great choice. He just has bad luck, and that happens in this physical game. I'm not sold he will be a factor this year coming off his knee injury, as his was the worst of all the running back knee injuries. That doesn't mean he won't play this season, but it will be hard for him to get back to his old form so soon. That's why the Bucs rewarded Graham with the three-year contract and signed Warrick Dunn. They are covered. Don't count out Cadillac for the future and never consider him a bust.

Bammer of the Week

What follows is an email forwarded to me and some of my Auburn friends by a Bammer that he copied from Bama Online. Obviously to frighten and intimidate us as Auburn fans. With this type of objective analysis, WRAS can see why SPUAT is the favorite to win Super Bowl XLIII. Decide for yourself...

Here is some info that has been posted on BOL by an "insider". The guy has been spot on with everything else ever posted so I for one believe every word.

* Julio Jones probably will be starting opposite McCoy during the Clemson game. Julio is a physical freak of nature, and is actually bigger than Jack linebacker, Alex Watkins. Julio had only one weakness coming into the summer. That was getting off the press. Now he has that down packed, his only weakness is..........well, actually nothing....
* B.J. Scott is the real deal in the slot. He caught a pass in 7 on 7 the other week and split the defense and left everyone in the dust. He has been compared to a mixture of David Palmer and Freddie Milons, but explosive like Prothro. He should end up being the best out of that bunch, and that's saying a lot.
* Mark Barron is quiet. He's like Silent Bob. lol. He's said to be walking around the complex with an angry look on his face, because he can't hit anybody yet. He's said to have reported in around 220, and they wanted him to lose weight, and he's reported to be at around 205.
* Alonzo Lawrence is awesome. A freakish athlete. He can cover anybody out there, and that's without technique. Once Saban gets a hold of him and work with him.....watch out. Expected to be a starter by mid-season.
* Robbie Green is small. Maybe around 5'9. Probably will need a redshirt year to bulk up.
* Dontae Hightower is huge, and the thought of two 260 pound linebackers in the middle of that defense is scary.
* Marcel Dareus is absolutely a monster. Saw him yesterday, and he is all solid. Nothing fat about him. He was weighing in at 301. He's standing at around 6'3, no taller than 6'4. He should be playing early and often, and is a very personable individual with a hell of a work ethic.
* Courtney Upshaw is impressive. Expected to play as a freshman.
* Damien Square's arms are HUGE and ripped up!! Getting stronger in the weightroom and is Dareus's workout partner. Everyone calls him Square.
* Jerrell has is every bit of 6'3, and he looks intimidating. He should nail down the SAM position by the end of camp. H e looks like an upper classmen.
* Matchett has nice size on him and is every bit over 200 pounds and is solid standing at around 5'10.
* Mark Ingram is built like a race horse. He will be a 20+ carry a game back.
* Star Jackson is expected to be the #2 quarterback by the end of camp. He is said to be smooth in the pocket and has lots of confidence. Only time will tell.
* Wesley Neighbors is built like a rock, and is expected to be force at least on special teams.
* Tyler Love is expected to compete for the right tackle spot in camp. Drew Davis has added good weight and improved over the spring. But it's unsure if he'll be able to hold down the fort at RT.
* Barrett Jones needs to add lots of weight. Athletic, but small.
* Terrance Cody has a very impressive work ethic. He's doing well.
* Chris Jordan is a physical specimen. He's working out at RB, and that's where he wants to be, but it's just a matter of time, before he's on the other side of the ball.
* Michael Williams will be a beast. Very raw talent. Something special to watch in the future. Said to look like Juwan Simpson in the face. lol.
Now for updates on current players
* Mike McCoy is a first class individual and Saban absolutely loves him
* No signs of Johnathon Lowe
* Nick Walker is taking a very serious approach to his last year and is said to have matured a lot. * Expect big things from Justin Woodall. All of the "negative influence" that he was hanging around has graduated, and he's on a mission to prove himself.
* Marquise Maze is not only quick, but is said to be the 3rd fastest player on the team behind Terry Grant and Rashard Johnson.
* Glenn Coffee is 100%, and is weighing in at 203. He wants to play at 215. Shoulder is fine.
* John Parker-Wilson should have a much better season this year. It was said that Applewhite screwed him up last year, and all of the kinks are being worked out. So expect a better season from him this year.
* Andre will be a top 5 pick next April. Caldwell a late 1st rounder.
* Darius Hanks catches everything thrown his way. No questions asked.
* Colin Peek will be something special to watch next year. Like Hanks, he doesn't drop anything.
* Prince Hall's issue is just simply "trust". Has a lot of proving to do.
* Josh Chapman will be a monster this year.
* Greenwood has added major weight.
* Talks of Zo moving from the nose to the end, cause Chapman and Cody will probably hold down the middle.
* Don't count out McCollough.
* Don't count out Ali Sharief. Can flat out fly and won't be denied.
* McElroy seems very excited to be at Bama and is a great guy. Talks of a transfer should be silenced.
* Cory Reamer is coming along. Don't count him out just yet.

D'Antoine Hood Article

D’Antoine Hood said, “It’s keeping up a tradition – sending Hoods through here."

At Auburn, that means one thing, at Alabama, it means something totally different.

Hey, Nick, quit playing with your dingy!!

Look at these three idiots. No way in hell Karle and Finebaum can catch a fish. Karle stands about 5'3" and weighs 120 pounds soaking wet (his giant head weighs about half of that). That boat looks so new I'll bet they bought it at Academy that morning. Mickey has caught cobia bigger than that thing. I even heard Karle and Finebaum talking about this yesterday on the radio and they both talked about how they don't know how to fish (sure can't tell by the video). Why even do it then? Sa6an looks even more uncomfortable than normal.

I'm sure Finebaum got a little queezy from the huge rapids on whatever man-made lake behind Karle's subdivision they are on. Though maybe they were just butterflies in his stomach from being so close to his mancrush, Sa6an. Finebaum was so excited he even broke his pole.
