Wow more Rhodes Scholars for us. I know they are talented players, but there is a reason these kids can’t qualify the first time around. I just wish we didn’t rely so much on prep schools. Sure the players are physically talented, but (and there is no other way to say this) they aren’t that smart and that hurts us in the long run. In a game like the Tech game, it hurt that our guys made plenty of mental mistakes while the Tech players made smart plays. You can’t rely on physical ability alone because eventually you’ll run into other talented teams with discipline and smart players.

ALABAMA is all about taking in overachievers——anyone who smacks a student athlete for trying to improve is off the mark. I adminre and so does any class program admire any student athlete who is willing to put the necessary effort to achieve. That is what Prep Schools do——and avoids a catastrophic college event where over 30% of our Freshmen do not make it to degree completion. Alabams is a university who wants people with character and who are willing to earn their degree through hard work and dedication. Give these athletes a bit more credit—who among you have put 2 -3 hours in all weather each day to practice and spend the time in the weight room to sweat through reps??? It is great to see these young student athletes have a chance to improve themselves in life—-bring on your talents to the Univ of Ala. Also, prospective UA athletes— All I ask you to consider is this: What # do you wear right now—-imagine being on the field at Bryant-Denny Stadiume in front of 90,000 each Saturday wearing a number for the University of Alabama—a number that has been identified with so many great players who have worn it before…that is a great tradition…of being part of the best team atmosphere in all of college football! Your helmet tells it all—-not flashy, no logo, just your number—in sparkling, traditional crimson and white numerals. IT just doesn’t get ANY better than that. Alabama prides itself in having a group of selfless teammates who want to achieve national championship goals—-if that is what you want—then Tuscaloosa is the place and the red helmet is the identity you will want to be part of. If you really want to be part of something—come on over to be part of the TIDE NATION.

Roll——nothing else needs to be said.
