Check out the “tackle” that Alabama DL LaMichael Fanning (No. 44) uses on the Missouri RB.
At the time of this play there is less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Alabama is leading by a score of 42-10, and it appears that both teams were simply trying to run out the clock and end the game.
Note: During the two plays following this tackle, Fanning appears to get manhandled by some of the Missouri offensive linemen.

The man who is currently awaiting trial for having poisoned trees on the campus of Auburn University (at Toomer’s Corner) has been arrested again. However, this time his arrest was in Hammond Louisiana (home of SE Louisiana University).
According to the report in the HammondStar.com, Harvey Updyke was apparently returning a lawn mower to a Lowe’s store in Hammond where he expected to receive $150. When a store manager informed him that he would only receive $110, the situation escalated and police were called to the scene.

During his September 4, 2012, press conference Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban went off on the media (see video above). This is nothing new for Coach Saban and members of the media cannot be shocked.
As for the substance of Saban’s comments, I am not sure he was wrong.

When I saw this story on August 23, I immediately thought “when will the big schools ever learn?”
The University of Alabama is not the only school to protect its logos and trademarks by taking (or threatening to take) legal action against local retailers. Such a practice is necessary when a logo or trademark is threatened; or when it is used in such a way that could reflect poorly on the university. However, such protection practices need to be balanced against the idea that fans are going to want to use school logos on their personal and business related ventures. While not all instances can go unchecked, the universities need to realize that this can be a good thing.

Unless he is tweeting fake photos, the discussion of whether or not Reuben Foster will stick to his Auburn pledge (and not change back to Alabama) is over as Foster has apparently gone out and gotten an Auburn tattoo.
The photos/tattoo doesn’t (at least to me) look 100% real, but if in fact it is real, Foster is heading to Auburn.
Check out photos of the tattoo here.

If you read the complaint filed by Sarah Grimes you probably noticed that Kristen Saban’s boyfriend was referred to as “BV” throughout the document.
Well, in case your curious, it is rumored that BV is Alabama football player Brian Vogler.

This could get interesting as it wears on. Further, it could make SEC Media Days (scheduled for next week) more exciting IF anyone has the nerve to ask Coach Saban about it. However, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that moment to come.

I first read this story on Clay Travis’ site, OutKickTheCoverage.com. University of Alabama head football coach Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen Saban, has a civil lawsuit pending against her for fighting with her sorority sisters.
