Vandy's ticket manager knows that a lot of the ticket purchases for Saturday's game came from Alabama addresses. That can't spell good things for the home team.
The Tennessean has a good write up about Saban "stirring the pot" in the SEC again. It goes through what it took for him to get here, and talks about his next step - trying to win at Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt has quite a few players from the state of Alabama, including star wide-out Earl Bennett. Are these kids that Bama and Auburn didn't want, or is Vandy actually picking up in recruiting? Nah...can't be. Although, Chris Nickson might have you believe otherwise.
Chris Nickson and Nick Walker, who are actually cousins, both starred together in high school, and on Saturday, they get to share the field again. Read about it here.
Preston Dial is the kinda kid that you REALLY want on your football team. Before fall camp he had a sit down with Coach Saban and simply told him "I've never played for a loser, and I don't want to become used to it." Coach told him that they'd get along just fine.
Walker caught 5 passes this past Saturday, and is actually being looked at as a "weapon." Good things to hear about your tight end.
Just because Prince Hall and Keith Brown are no longer suspended, don't expect the coaches to just hand them the starting jobs. Both will have to compete to get back on the field.
I had no idea about this, but apparently Javier Arenas was thinking about quitting the team in August. Good thing he didn't, cause, as we all know, speed kills. He's a helluva ball player, and a good kid too.
Kirk McNair tells us about Coach Saban's press conference on Wednesday afternoon. He basically told them that they're not hoping to get it right...they're WORKING to get it right. I love that guy. Haha.
The Kansas City Star is projecting a tough game, but they think Alabama will win 23-17 in Nashville on Saturday. Sounds good to me. A win is a win.
