Demico Ryans has been named a Semi-Finalist for the prestigous Butkus Award. The Butkus Award is regarded as one of the most elite individual honors in college football.


Brodie Croyle has been named as a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.

Alabama's career passing touchdown leader (36), Croyle has passed for 1,345 yards and nine touchdowns for the fifth-ranked Crimson Tide. He has thrown at least one TD pass in 19 of his 22 career starts.

According to the one of the local papers Croyle is also up for the Heisman Trophy, however I have yet to find any conformation on that.


Bama VS. Vols, not so much a rivalry. According to an article in the Montgomery Advertiser players for both teams show no anomisty towards each other. Fans are an entirely different story. :) Read the article here.

I have to say that I love reading interviews with good ol Charlie Peprah. (Yeah, I know I am waaay older than him!) I have been watching him for a few years now, and he is always such a great talent on the feild, as well as a person. Or as much as one can tell without actually sitting down and talking with him person to person.

"The first thing that comes to mind is orange, that obnoxious orange," Peprah said. "There’s a whole lot of orange."

Of course he is talking about Tennessee here, but I love how he stuck that obnoxious part in there. lol. Sorry, I just really found it funny. Most of us Bama fans just really hate ORANGE!

According to reports DJ Hall will be playing in Saturday's game agains the Vols. Reports say that he is still feeling some pain, but the trainers have been working with him and Coach Shula feels he is up to the task. DJ was hit pretty hard in the game last week against Ole Miss and suffered with a bruised rib and some pain in his back.

Newspapers have Alabama winning by 3. First time in years that Alabama has gone into a game against the Vols and not been the underdog.

Two days to go......
