@jerrysandersRTR This was quite a group of wide receivers. All extremely talented. Hate that Ruggs is not playing in the NFL like the others, but maybe some way some how if it is possible he can get another chance. 🤞
Former Alabama RB Derrick Henry just broke an all-time record for most 200-yard rushing games in an NFL career.
In tonight’s game against the Packers, Henry surpassed O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson with seven 200-yard rushing performances in his NFL career.
In those seven games, Henry has scored 19 rushing touchdowns.
I’ve long said Greg Byrne is the best hire we’ve made at Alabama since Saban. I three putted the final hole of my college career at the NCAA Regional to miss the National Championship by a shot. I had never felt that level of sadness around the game of golf before, I felt as though I had let everyone around me down. The FIRST person who texted me that afternoon was Greg and he asked if he could call me. I had no more time left at Alabama and couldn’t offer my playing abilities to them anymore but he made sure to let me know that I was always welcome back and he thanked me for my time at UA. I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing that story but it was something I will never forget and it’s made me become even more loyal to the University than I could’ve ever imagined. I bet there are many stories just like mine but all of that to say that that under Greg Byrne I believe in all athletics at the Capstone.
@RebelSportsTalk The person who is sleazy and slimy is your current coach for the way he has treated your school, fans, boosters, students, etc. This has gone on for weeks now. Kiffin has a history of leaving coaching jobs. He is just adding Ole Miss to his list of leaving.
The game that immortalized Paul “Bear” Bryant and spawned commemorative Coca-Cola bottles still cherished by fans happened 44 years ago today when No. 4-ranked @AlabamaFTBL rallied to beat Auburn, 28-17, as Bryant won his 315th game on Nov. 28, 1981 in Legion Field.
After falling behind 17-14 early in the fourth quarter, Alabama responded with two touchdowns to ensure Bryant passed Amos Alonzo Stagg for the most Division I coaching victories. Walter Lewis started the comeback with a 38-yard touchdown pass to Jesse Bendross and Linnie Patrick followed with a 15-yard scoring run.
Alabama played three quarterbacks against Auburn as Alan Gray scored the first Crimson Tide touchdown on a 1-yard run in the first quarter. Ken Coley came in and threw a 26-yard scoring pass to Bendross in the third quarter.
“About the record the players set today,” Bryant said afterwards. “I want to thank the good Lord for being associated with all the people who made it possible. It’s been a hard year for me. I wasn’t strong enough or bright enough to handle it. Only the last week has it really dawned on me that so many people were involved.”
The victory over his former assistant, Pat Dye, also clinched Bryant’s 13th SEC championship, as the Crimson Tide tied with Georgia as both finished 6-0 in conference play.
@kwhite0221@PatMcAfeeShow There’s a lot of difference between a HC firing an assistant coach, than a HC holding up three SEC schools including his own while he takes six weeks to decide to stay or leave. If he’s not going this year Ole Miss is going to face this every year till he decided to go.
The stadium conversations have always been hilarious to me. Lets compare numbers:
VHS: 64,038
Oxford Population: 26,000
BHG Stadium: 88,548
Gainesville Population: 151,275
Tiger Stadium: 102,321
Baton Rouge Population: 221,453
Ole Miss fans travel from all over to be a part of the 68k this past Saturday. Other schools travel 15-20 minutes and have a MUCH bigger range of fans in the area.
Now you tell me which is more impressive?
@TheDynastyBAMA@10AJMcCarron Making it that much harder is that Auburns whole season will be a de-facto success if they beat Alabama and prevent us from being in the playoff. We’re about to find out what Deboer and company are truly made of!!!!
