VIDEO: SEC Basketball Media Days – Featuring Alabama

Alabama Crimson Tide — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 06:54:36 +0000

Last Friday, Anthony Grant & Wendell Hudson talked Alabama basketball. Both teams have reason for optimism this season. The men's team returns one of the top players in the country, 2nd team All American JaMychal Green. Green spoke at Media days and spoke about his intentions to step up and set the example for the new blood on Alabama's team. Alabama comes in the season ranked 17th in the nation.

JaMychal Green has looked impressive in the off-season in playing for USA Basketball in the World University Games. This summer, Green came in second on the team in scoring with 12.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as the squad played to a 7-1 record. He lost 17 pounds in the off-season, so look for him to be able to run the floor better and have more endurance.

The ladies team is expected by many to be the best that Wendell Hudson has had since he first became the ladies head coach in 2007. Led by senior leader Ericka Russell, the Tide ladies look to improve mightily this year. Hudson said one of the keys to successful recruiting as of late came from the impact of Nick Saban on the program. Coach Saban has went over and beyond his call of duty to meet the recruits and spend time with them. Hudson indicated that Alabama has signed three junior college All-Americans for instant impact, and two of them were on a 32-1 championship team last year, and another player was on a national championship team in junior college. So there is proven winners in place this year to take Alabama's ladies basketball to a new level of play.

Looking forward to seeing both teams take it to the hoops.

Is Alabama’s 2010 Football Schedule Unfair?

Alabama Crimson Tide — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:59:04 +0000

I smell a skunk! Personally, I think the 2010 schedule for Alabama is unfair for the SEC opponents we play, in terms of talent, but there's something odd about their schedules are laid out against Alabama. All six have a bye week before the Alabama game! Thats right! I will repeat... Alabama plays 6 SEC games in 2010 against SEC opponents who have a bye week prior to the game against the Tide. Yes, you have heard me correctly. 6 SEC OPPONENTS.

By scheduling fenagling that could only be compared to origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, 6 opposing SEC teams have been able to change their schedules in order to be optimally rested for the national champions. Does this sound fair? It doesn't sound like it to me either, and although I know life is not fair, it does seem like there should be some rules made by the SEC to keep this from happening to any one particular team whether it be Vanderbilt or Alabama.

SEC Commissioner Mike Slive needs to look at the rules of scheduling for the SEC teams, and make sure that there is even scheduling of bye weeks for all teams in the SEC. Alabama athletic director Mal Moore already has raised a a red flag by requesting a review of this issue at a meeting of SEC athletic directors back in December. The SEC needs to make sure that all SEC teams are scheduled fairly amongst each other from year-to-year so as to not disadvantage or advantage one SEC over another.

With that said, I still think we'll beat the crap out of everybody else anyway! LOL

ROLL TIDE!
