Alright everyone...we're almost exactly one month away from A-Day. But before we get to that, there's more business to attend to.
If you live in Memphis, make sure you're at the Memphis Botanical Gardens (Hardin Hall) tonight at 6pm for a speaking engagement with Recruiting Analyst Andrew Bone, along with a catered dinner by Central BBQ. Admission is only $20, and it's the first social for Bama on the Bluff this year. If you'd like more information, please check out BamaontheBluff.com. This will be a great springboard into next month's Crimson Caravan at the Peabody with Coach Nick Saban. Don't forget, you can still purchase tickets to that by clicking here. Make sure you support this! We need to show how strong our contingency is here in Memphis.
A new name has popped up for the basketball coaching search - Tim Floyd. I'm not sure what I think about this, but it might be a good fit. I think he's charismatic and a good teacher of the game, so it might work out. He's a good recruiter to go along with that, so I think he'd probably fit in well here.
Calipari's name has tapered off lately (thank goodness), but I, like everyone else, am starting to hear more about Tom Izzo. The fact that CM Newton met with him last week kinda raised my eyebrows a lil bit. Sure, CM said they didn't talk about the Alabama job or anything...but I have a feeling there was a reason for them meeting, more so than just two buddies grabbing dinner. I'm starting to see smoke on this one.
NBCSports.com has Alabama vs Ole Miss as the #3 most important game this season, along with the game against VaTech coming in at #11. SportProjections.com has Alabama playing in the Fiesta Bowl against California to close out this season. I think I'd probably take that.
