Whew. What a weekend. We missed the update on Friday due to me not being around a computer all day, so sorry about that. We left early, grabbed some lunch with some friends, and then were able to catch Sevendust, Puddle of Crud, and Breaking Benjamin at Edgefest in Little Rock before coming back home to Memphis. Props to Haley at Green Grass Entertainment and Dean at Mammoth for the hook ups. Two very cool people right there.
My band, Prosevere, is going on a short 3 day run this weekend, so if you're out and about, please come out. You can find the dates at prosevere.com and myspace.com/prosevere.
Days 'til Season Kickoff: 82
Well, I guess the biggest news from the weekend was that Jimmy Barnes is transferring to a Division 1-AA school. With Greg McElroy showing out in the spring, and Nick Fanuzzi coming in the fall, I guess I can understand why he would want to. JP has two more years at the Capstone, so playing time will be very limited.
John Adams from the Knoxville News Sentinel talks about how Nick Saban probably envies Billy Donovan. It took one day for Donovan to undo his mistake. It took Saban two years.
Mal Moore says the contract WILL BE SIGNED very soon. There are no more kinks to work out, so don't worry about it. Also, the Tide Pride waiting list is 6,000 names long, currently, and the idea to expand the student section could mean another stadium expansion.
Barry Switzer was in town this weekend. You'll be amazed at his ties to Alabama.
Our buddy, Josh Moon, chips in to tell us that the difference between Nick Saban and Billy Donovan is that Donovan treats people (ahem, the media) better. I think the difference is that Nick Saban has the nuts to make a decision and stand by it for as long as he can, even if it's the wrong one. Donovan doesn't.
