Not a Tiger that you're thinking about! No, not an Auburn Tiger... but Tiger Woods.  No! not in that way.. but in a way that he does tricks (maybe I said that wrong again!) LOL </p>
<p>All laughing and joking aside, the Heisman Trophy winner way around the golf course pretty well and has picked up some of the golf tricks of the champion golfer, Tiger Woods. You will be amazed at what Mark can do with the golf club.  He is very talented...  </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>You will be amazed at what Mark can do with the golf club.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Check out the video below!  And then look at the video of Tiger Woods! Our bruising running back apparently also has very good eye-hand coordination!</p>

<a href="http://www.lindyssports.com/">Lindy’s Sports</a> just released their preseason top 25 for football and guess who is on top? Of course, Alabama. I don't put much stock in preseason polls like Lindy's, but it is undeniable that Alabama is stacked. I just hope that the players don't get the big head and they stay hungry.</p>
<p>After that, they have Boise State at No. 2, with Ohio State, Texas &amp; Florida closing out the top five. In the top 25, there is three others in Arkansas, LSU and Georgia (where's Auburn?? lol)</p>
<p>The college football preview magazine also has 4 Alabama players listed as preseason all-Americans. Topping the list is 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, followed by the second teamers of Mark Barron, Julio Jones, as well as Don’t’a Hightower.</p>
<p><strong>Here is the Lindy's Preseason Top 25 list:</strong></p>

I appreciate the great speech and wonderful attitude of the president as he greeted Bama in the east room of the White House today in Washington DC.   Watch the video to hear his speech. </p>

<p><strong>Here is the full text of President Obama's full speech about the 2009 Crimson Tide's National Championship year.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>"Hello, everybody! Please, have a seat, have a seat. Have a seat, Crimson Tide. Go Tide. Well, welcome to the White House, and congratulations on your 13th -- let me check that -- 13th National Championship –- the first in 17 years. I think it's safe to say that the Tide is back.</p>
<p>I've got to tell you, everyone was really excited about this team coming today -– except for my Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs-- because he was born and raised in Auburn. He's hiding in his office right now.</p>
<p>But we do have some Tide fans here that are worth a little bit of acknowledgment. I want to start by thanking Robert Witt, the president of the University of Alabama. I also want to acknowledge the mayor of Tuscaloosa, Walter Maddox. You can give them a round of applause. I want to recognize Senator Shelby and Senator Sessions, who are here. Stand up, please. And our terrific Surgeon General who's an Alabama native, Regina Benjamin is in the house. Where's Regina? There she is over there. And to all those who make this program what it is -– the students and the trainers and the staff and the ticket takers, fans in Tuscaloosa and all across the country, you should all be very proud, and I want to congratulate you.</p>
<p>Obviously I want to congratulate Coach Saban and thank him and his wife Terry for being with us today. There's no question that this team is here in large part because of what Coach Saban has done. There aren't too many coaches in the country who have the knowledge, the motivational skills, the program discipline to win two national championships in six years –- let alone at two different schools. And I think it's a testimony to his incredible skills as a coach.</p>
<p>I've got to congratulate Mark Ingram for becoming the first Heisman Trophy winner in Alabama history. Mark rushed for over 1,500 yards last season -- the most ever by a Crimson Tide running back. And I know his selflessness and dedication has made his team and his family very, very proud.</p>
<p>I also want to recognize your captains -– Rolando McClain, Mike Johnson, and Javier Arenas –- and all the upperclassmen for their leadership on this team. Congratulations to all of you. I especially want to congratulate Rolando for winning the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker. And I know that part of Rolando's talent comes from his intelligence and his judgment. In fact one of his teammates was asked to describe him -- he said, "Just picture Coach Saban being huge and being able to play football."</p>
<p>Now, one of the trademarks of this team has always been its unwavering focus on what's important. And I know shortly after the 2008 season ended, Coach hung a picture of the Florida Gators winning the national championship in the locker room -- not too subtle what he was saying. He asked his players if they wanted to work hard enough to beat their teammates in a drill, or if they wanted to work hard enough to be the best team in the country. And it's pretty clear what choice they made. That's the kind of tone this team sets, both on and off the field.</p>
<p>It's why these young men -- and this is something I'm very proud of -- had the second highest graduation rate of any team ranked in the top 25. It shows that these guys have their priorities straight. Together, they contributed more than 3,500 hours of community service that Alabama students -- student athletes performed last year.</p>
<p>And that spirit continued earlier today, when the team met with a group of kids from one of D.C.'s roughest neighborhoods, and helped teach them about the importance of staying in school and making healthy choices. That's how champions act -– in football and in life.</p>
<p>As Coach Bryant once said, "I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude." I think this team would make him proud, because they've got that winning attitude.</p>
<p>So congratulations to all of you. The best of luck next season. I know spring practice starts on Friday -- woo, man. Next Friday, huh? So enjoy these last few days off. And congratulations to all of you for just an extraordinary season. Roll Tide."</p></blockquote>

Mark Ingram has been running like a bull in a china shop lately. His 246 yard performance this weekend was the third-best total in University of Alabama history. His stats are on pace to beat Bobby Humphrey's rushing record at Alabama, and his punishing style of running is breaking the backs of some tough SEC defenses every week.</p>
<p>Now, as the nation beginning to take notice of this young sophomore running back at Alabama, the talk of Ingram becoming a front runner for the prestigious trophy is running wild in the media.  Can it really happen?  Alabama has never had a Heisman Trophy winner.  </p>
<p><div id="attachment_344" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 91px"><img src="http://www.alcrimsontide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ingramsmall.jpg" alt="Mark Ingram Breaking A Long Run" title="ingramsmall" width="81" height="106" class="size-full wp-image-344" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Mark Ingram Breaking A Long Run</p></div>If you're like me, you get tired of that stupid question, "How many Heisman trophies has Alabama won?" being asked by announcers on TV every Alabama plays. The answer is always "0" of course.  Personally, I'd rather win a national championship anytime rather than a Heisman, but it sure would be nice to put that dumb question to rest.</p>
<p>Even ESPN has begun to hype Ingram as a possible Heisman candidate with the kind of performance he put on Saturday night.  If he continues to perform at this level until the end of the year, Ingram will most certainly get his share of ballots and possibly take home the prized trophy.</p>
<p>Ingram's teammates are beginning to promote the superstar as a legitimate Heisman candidate, but Ingram keeps it in perspective and stays humble.  Ingram said, "It's good to hear my teammates think so highly of me, but I'm not really worried about that at all... If I just keep getting better and keep performing every week and this team keeps winning, that all will take care of itself."</p>
<p>In a year when seemingly nobody wants to take the lead to win the trophy, is a perfect time for Ingram to slip into contention. Who knows him may take home two trophies at the end of the year, Heisman and the national championship trophies.  </p>
<p>What do you think? Will Mark Ingram won the Heisman Trophy?  Time will tell, but it looking good so far.  </p>
