"Loaned" is the operative word to avoid any violations.  It's a clever idea, I suspect Bama will be doing it soon.  My daughter's school loans out netbooks for the school year to all kids starting in the 5th grade.  Huntsville's new school superintendent has some clever ways to finance things.

"Success" twice in the same sentence.   

That is an insane pick, considering that LSU demolished Oregon last year.

I agree.  Especially since this guy plays shotgun in HS.

The kid is from Fayetteville.

Thanks for the information.  My wife was hoping the games would be over the weekend so that we could go.  Maybe we could make the Friday game(s).

California ripped Arkansas twice to advance.

Any information on Bama's games with Michigan yet?

Meyer and Hoke both recruit extremely well, so I wouldn't count them out just yet.  But you are right, Saban (and probably Miles too) has figured out how to beat Meyer's offense, and while Michigan is on the upswing they are still another year or two away.  Bama owning Michigan on September 1 won't help them either.

It does remain to be seen how important this new bowl game becomes.  If the SEC continues to place a team in the BCSCG every year, then the bowl might not become as important as it looks on paper.

The new bowl likely will be played in Dallas, giving Jerry Jones the big-time college bowl he has been wanting for his new stadium.  And likely will become a BCS game.  But what happens to the Sugar Bowl?

That would be cool.  They have him projected at DE, but Saban is known to find the right fit for players projected elsewhere (including Sunseri and Smelley).

The guy apparently slipped under most recruiters radar, but Saban saw something he liked -- maybe that the guy is big and athletic -- and we probably will learn more about him once he arrives on campus and starts making a name for himself.

Awesome Ladies!  RTR!

Michigan won't know what hits them.

Thanks for the news.  RTR!

I don't want them to forget.  I want them to remember.  Every time they see the color crimson, or an elephant, or Nick Saban, I want it to hit them in the gut that the lost that game.  I want their kids to remember.  I want their grandkids to remember, or at least feel that they, too, were there, when a wave of crimson rolled over their tigers, and they kept to their own end of the field.

I think Brantley was out for the season, but Driskel also was banged up in that game as well, and the third string QB played at LSU.  But  Brantley looked OK v. Bama, Driskel was a deer in the headlights.
