Crimson Red Sports

This really craps me out. Not a good sign for the season. I am beginning to think Lacy is cursed.

Just hope this is the end of his injuries.  Remember, TR had a knee before the Aub game in 2010, MI had injuries, etc.

We've got talent behind him, and either of us could run behind this year's line.  :P

EL is tough. He played with the turf toe injury last year and I don't think he will give in to this. C'mon, guys, stay tough!

Yeah, but he has that rare combination of power & speed. He is a special back. Plus, my knee is not feeling too good right now.

My back hurts too.  But this line is special, and (furthermore) you and I don't have to carry the ball.  Yeldon and numerous others are there.  And (get this), they're even better than us!!

Are ya'll sure that they are better than you guys carrying the FootBall? RTR!

my old broke femur bad kneed azz run behind them ?


not even on this  :dunno:

I'll trade my wheelchair for that one. I could really get someones' attention at Church with that. rofl, RTR!

 #+, I liked that SC. The yellow Old Looking monster.  :rofl: That got my attention, I was dreaming of having controls for laser guns.  :clap:, RTR!

Monday report: Lacy is being held out of contact to allow him to heal a bit.

With the Michigan game just 11 days away, this does not bode well. I wonder if Jalston Fowler might start?

 ???

I think Lacy will start but his carries may be limited. I look for Yelton to get a lot of carries. I think they like Fowler at H-back.

Lacy will be okay.  He played through the injury last year (before surgery), and he will play through the pain again.  Wish he hadn't tweeked his knee.

What everyone keeps forgetting is that Lacy was the backup last year and carried the ball only 95 times in 13 games. That's not the same as carrying the ball 20-25 times a game. Plus, Lacy is missing so much practice time, his timing must be off with hand offs from McCarron and his work on running passing routes, catching the ball, blocking assignments, etc. Don't be shocked to see Fowler carry the load against Michigan.


 :dog:

True. 
You in shape?  We might put you in on short yardage.  Run behind Barrett.

Lacy looked very good on his carries before he got injured. It was stated Saturday that Lacy is a little heavy, needed to lose a couple of pounds.

I'm wearing a black jersey in practice. I had right knee surgery which is still tender and my left knee is killing me. I have an appointment to see my doctor at the Andrews Sports center for the left knee. True story.

A couple of interesting comments about the RB position.

Wonder if EL is not completely ready for Mee-chigan if Yeldon will get a number of touches.

Wow! What a comment by Saban. He must really be impressed with the kid.   

 :clap:

Well the coach prepares for unexpected items, I would say he has already got this in control. Do you think EL is going to miss this big of a game? RTR!

Preacher, we're counting on your connections with the Almighty to ensure that EL does play.   :P

 #+ Hey my friend don't you think for a second I don't. Actually for all our students and families.  :clap: We will have fun this year for sure. RTR!

 #+ for your inside contacts.

Here's a video of him practicing today

Who is Nerlens Noel?  ???

 :lol:

Lacy will be okay.  He played through the injury last year (before surgery), and he will play through the pain again.

 :lol:


 :lol:

Maybe we should quote that every time he gets the ball.

Slow night, so here's a story.  If you're over 50 years old, then you'll remember Alabama vs Aubbun in 1971.  Both teams were undefeated, and both competing for a chance at the NC.  Johnny Musso was the heart and soul of the Alabama team, but he had spent two weeks on crutches (dislocated big toe), and was considered doubtful for the game.  Everyone was worried.  

BUT that day he ran for a ton of yards in an over-sized shoe, and had the game of his life.  Bama won 31-7.

So I'm not worried.

Let's try the Lacy practice video again, sorry about that. ???

Looked good. I didn't notice any limping.

I figured it was just a ding because CNS didn't seem too concerned when he spoke to us Saturday. I somehow got the feeling that he thought Lacy wasn't being tough enough and should work through some of his injury issues when he said Lacy was too heavy. JMO

He's got enough tape on his ankle to wrap Christmas presents for every kid in Tuscaloosa.

It makes him look good for the media.

That is pretty much how Saban described it in a roundabout way.

It doesn't look good to me. He looked like a guy with a limp trying not to look like a guy with a limp.

Excellent description. He thinks he's fooling the coaches so he can play against Michigan.
