ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit Picks Auburn to Win The SEC West http://www.alcrimsontide.com/sec/1219-is-this-a-joke-espns-kirk-herbstreit-picks-auburn-to-win-the-sec-west.htm http://www.alcrimsontide.com/sec/1219-is-this-a-joke-espns-kirk-herbstreit-picks-auburn-to-win-the-sec-west.htm#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:28:34 +0000 Alabama Crimson Tide http://www.alcrimsontide.com/?p=1219 ESPN Kirk Herbstreit
One of the craziest predictions since San Jose State's freshman kicker stated he was ready to knock Alabama around, ESPN's color analyst for College Gameday, Kirk Herbstreit, actually thinks that Auburn will win the SEC West this year! What a joke! Man, I am on the floor rolling. Auburn may win a game or two more, but they have to go through the buzz saw of Alabama at the end of the year. They have no chance.

espn

What does ESPN stand for anyway? Extra Sensory Perception by Nincompoops (Who think they know football?)

Auburn's second team units are full of freshmen. Their talent level may be better from the good recruiting year last year; however, they are very young. Coach Saban has Alabama ready for 2010. Alabama is a well oiled machine.

It amazes me that the top sports company on the planet, ESPN, would have a guy like Kirk Herbstreit on the top of the food chain there. He is the face of college football for this mega media giant and he comes out with drivel like saying Auburn is going to win the SEC West? That’s like everyone last year saying Ole Miss was going to win the SEC. It seems to me that it is popular to try and predict an upsurge by a predictable play toy like Ole Miss & Auburn. Sure, Auburn played Alabama a decent game last year, but most of it was based on trickery. The overall best team finished 1st because of superior physicality & mental toughness.

Even a casual fan has to remember the Auburn team of last year that struggled with Ball State and then LSU, Arkansas, Georgia, & Kentucky took the Tigers out to the woodshed. Alabama also knocked the kitties out.

I predict Auburn this year will definitely lose to South Carolina, LSU, Georgia, & Arkansas. In the SEC West, 4 losses won't do it. Especially with Bama riding high. Expect Auburn to keep coughing up hairballs on gameday and for one Gameday announcer to start eating eagle, er... I mean crow. Chow down Kirk! :-)

Heisman Trophy award winning running back Mark Ingram will miss the University of Alabama’s season-opening game against San Jose State this Saturday after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

After that game, it will evaluated on a week to week basis on whenever he can return. “It was a situation where everyone involved thought it would be better to take care of now, so he would not have any issues with it later in the season,” Saban said.

The good news is apparently this type of injury is not long term. Coach Nick Saban said. “We will make every decision in the future based on what’s best for Mark and his career. This is not an injury that will affect Mark’s future ability to make a full recovery in a relatively short time frame.”

The good news in all this is that Alabama is plenty stocked up in the running back position with players like Trent Richardson & Eddie Lacy. I just hope Mark can come back by the Penn State if he can. He is a hoss and Bama is much better with him in the rotation.

Roll Tide!

Alabama has announced its depth chart for starting the 2010 season. Notably, there were a few surprises in that the Sam LB is Chavis Williams. I would have thought that Nico Johnson would have broken into the starting lineup, but I am not at practice everyday... what do I know. Nevertheless, the LB crew must be very strong if a player like Nico is second team.

A new player making the first team was DeQuan Menzie. Menzie is a first year junior transfer from Copiah-Lincoln C.C. He had torn his Achilles tendon in early April and it was looking like he may not be back for the season, but with rehab over the summer he regained his form.

Jerrell Harris is now beginning to show the 4 star potential as he steps into a starting role in the linebacking crew. Another new face in the starting line-up from Gadsden is Dre Kirkpatrick. Dre was a 5 star prospect out of high school and has Antonio Langham type skills at the cornerback position. Look for him to take some interceptions to "the house" this year.

Another new starter to the defense is Robert Lester. Last year Robert Lester primarily contributed on special teams, however seen some time in the secondary.

The defense is retooled, but I believe it is a solid group. On offense, the biggest change is literally the BIGGEST change. 5 Star DJ Fluker takes over the right tackle position. Standing tall at 6 foot 6 inches and over 340 lbs, with size 23 shoes, he is a huge specimen of a player. He has some trouble with foot work in the A-Day game when he tripped once, but he has worked hard to straighten those issues out.

Coach Saban has his warriors ready to go for the 2010 season. Here is the depth chart.

QB -- Greg McElroy, AJ McCarron, Phillip Sims
RB -- Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, Demetrius Goode OR Corey Grant
WR -- Julio Jones, Earl Alexander OR Brandon Gibson

He has a record!!! Here is a clipping from the paper..

arrested saban
---
In court documents filed two years ago, authorities state that they arrested Alabama head coach Nick Saban in the predawn hours Monday, Sept 28, 2008 at his home in Tuscaloosa on animal cruelty charges.

Saban, 56, was charged with 85 counts of animal cruelty in an alleged
attack which occurred Saturday night in Athens, Georgia.

Police said that as many as 92,138 witnesses saw Saban and a large
group of violent young men under his control hit, kick, crush and
destroy a large pack of mostly-docile bulldogs.

One officer was quoted as saying, "I haven't seen bulldogs treated
this badly since the Michael Vick case.
----

Of course... All of the above is not literally true, but it sure was funny! This was a story that was fabricated as a rub-your-nose-in-it jab at the Georgia fanbase. I will never forget the butt kicking we gave Georgia that night! It was the night that the lights went out in Georgia and the fans wore black to see the funeral!

We don't play Georgia this year unless it is in the SEC Championship, but it would be fun to get them there and spank some more bulldogs!

ROLL TIDE!

Kendal Kelly Alabama
Kendal Kelly Alabama

TUSCALOOSA .  After being held out of fall practices since the first practice in which he suffered from heat related illness, Kendall Kelly is back on the football field practicing for the Tide. This good news comes after missing 22 practices since August 5th. Kelly is expected to contribute to a thin secondary that is in need of help.

Kelly is a converted wide receiver who was very highly recruited out of Gadsden High School in northeast Alabama. The 6-3, 214 lb redshirt freshman as a 2009 high school prospect was rated a 4 star wide receiver prospect with Scout.com. After developing for a year as a redshirt, he is being trained to play in the secondary.

Coach Nick Saban made a comment about the status of Kelly by saying, "He's got to work himself back into shape," he said after Thursday's practice. "He got cleared medically to go out and play."

The good news for the Crimson Tide is that all the team is now healthy, as there are no more black jersey's being worn on the practice field one week prior to the start of the football season. Back in practice healthy is another young freshman whom the Tide plans to use in the secondary as well, DeMarcus Milliner. Also on the injury front in Tuscaloosa, a junior college transfer expected to contribute, cornerback DeQuan Menzie, "practiced some yesterday and the whole practice today,” Saban said. The JUCO transfer had been suffering from nagging injury from the two scrimmages.

Good to have you back Kendall!
Roll Tide!

If you get anywhere around him on campus in Tuscaloosa, you definitely know when he's around. His voice is easily heard hollaring at the Bama players to keep pushing.

He is one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in the country, but it isn't just based on what he knows. It goes deeper than that. He is highly motivational in the way that he pushes his players to push their bodies to their physical limits and beyond.

He is like a buzz saw that never stops. You will see him at the weight room continually shouting a barage of motivational catchphrases like..

"I don't care what you did yesterday, if you happy with it, you got bigger problems!"

"Doubt me... pay the price!"

"It don't get any betta than this!"

"Why are we standing around?"

"If it feels good... you aren't doing it righttttttt!!!"

"You ain't cheating me, you are cheating you!"

"You have to make today count!!"

Coach Cochran offers straight-up high-energy motivational weight lifting sessions for the groups of Alabama players who lift weights throughout the day. When he is there with the players, they are all his. It is that point of focus that helps him work into the foucused frenzy that is so effective.

The shouting is seemingly endless in the weight rooms and in the practice fields. Heard echoing across the Capstone's landscape is his drill-sergeant-like commands. Preston
Dial, senior tight end,
said that Coach Cochran yells every day yet "never loses his voice."

As super-human as it seems, Coach Cochran is going to give his all every day, because "that's Coach Saban's standard." Julio Jones, wide receiver, said "Outrageous man.. it just don't know. You can't contain that guy. He's just a loose cannon."

Speaking on the impact of Scott Cochran in the weight room to make the Alabama players work harder, Greg McElroy, undefeated starting quarterback, said "He (Coach Cochran) is the life blood of our program. He is definitely our leader for inspiration as far as motivation."

It isn't all rah-rah cheerleading, behind all the yelling and motivational one-liners, Coach Cochran has a keen knowledge of how to push the human body to its maximum potential. In fact, he has a degree in kinesiology which is the study of human movement. Kinesiologists usually work with disabled individuals to help rehabilitate to the maximum physical functionality. There's no doubt that his knowledge played a big part in Dont'a Hightower's recovery from last year serious knee injury.

The overall result is a team that is heading in the direction of building a dynasty based on physical dominance on the football field. You can attribute that to Coach Cochran's motivational and intellectual buzz saw that as Alabama playing like the buzz saw.
