Tide Tidbits – February 26, 2009

The Astonishing Truth Regarding What Conference Is Best
Take Oklahoma out of the Big 12 and Southern Cal out of the Pac-10. Look at the past 50 years. What league has the most National Championships? Remove Alabama from the SEC and Ohio State from the Big 10. What conference has the most championships? So, in effect, many of the accomplishments of a league can be due in large part to one school. Take that school away and things seem to “even out.”

Tide changes start of spring practice
Instead of opening the workouts after spring break on March 23, the first practice will be held Friday, March 13. The practice scheduled for April 11 has been canceled. A-Day is still scheduled for April 18 at 2 p.m. at Bryant-Denny Stadium. New schedule.

Alabama Fans Are Watching History In The Making
Alabama fans are seeing history taking shape right before our eyes. I have been a fan and supporter of Alabama football since 1961. I have witnessed seven National Championships in my lifetime, two in person. I think I have a pretty good handle on what it took for Alabama to reach the pinnacle of college football. It took hard work, great leadership, confidence in yourself and your teammates.

Four Bama players complete combine
Amidst the controversy surrounding Alabama offensive lineman Andre Smith’s departure from the NFL combine over the weekend, the Crimson Tide had four other former players participate. Among the four, Coffee turned in the most impressive overall workout. Coffee is projected by both ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper and NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock to go anywhere from the third round to the fifth round.

Roll Tide!
