Two great traditional football programs are set to meet for the first time in twenty years this Saturday evening. The University of Alabama plays host to Penn State University. The 2010 Crimson Tide is a blend of mature, championship caliber talent on the offensive side of the ball and young, inexperienced talent on defense with a few well positoned defensive leaders. Seven key players must step ...
TUSCALOOSA — Kids these days.
Barrett Jones was 5 months, 2 days old the last time Alabama and Penn State played. He doesn't remember the game, but the top-ranked Crimson Tide's guard has become fairly well versed on a rivalry that has featured memorable kicks, great defenses and a goal line stand that is a significant part of 'Bama lore.
Larry Burton (Syndicated Writer) When Alabama had a game with Oklahoma a few years back before Saban and while we still weren't that great, I was impressed by the outstanding class showed by the Sooners. We didn't take our band because of the high cost in doing so, yet when the Tide took the field, the Sooner band played a great rendition of "Yea Alabama." It was a touching moment for the ...

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Will he or won’t he?
In 1979, Barry Kraus achieved one of the most historic plays ever know in Alabama football history. On fourth and goal Barry Kraus, along with a strong defensive line, had a goal line stand against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Times have changed for people in Alabama since that amazing game over 31 years ago. I wish I were able to say the same about Penn State. Joe Paterno is entering his 45th ...
Bama has lost two most recent games against Big Ten

When Alabama travels to Columbia to play South Carolina on October 9th, the game will have more than just SEC bragging rights on the line. It will also be important from the standpoint that the best recruit in the country, South Pointe’s end Jadeveon Clowney, will be roaming the sidelines, anxiously keeping his eye on the action. Clowney, a 6'6" 240 pound defensive end, has a mailbag full of ...
