I think it was Ballplay or Omni. These guys must be questioned immediately.

I vote for bamahater or one of the other Barner psyco’s that come on here. Then again maybe it was me. Nicky needs to recruit a real kicker and real fast. One who can kick consistantly and not miss the chipshot big one!

I did call my brother in B’ham to make sure that he did not do it. He Didn’t!

To all that who don’t know — Leigh Tiffin is the heir of “Tiffin Motorhomes” in south Alabama — “daddy” put him on the team with his $,$$$,$$$ and even though we had a 12-2 season last year — he came through when we needed him 75% of the time — I can NEVER forgive him for the @ Arkansas game with the 3 OT’s — it resonates in my brain and will not go away everytime I see him post up. I hope he has a fast recovery and can kick the shit out of some good FG’s this season — because special teams/defense/field goals wins CHAMPIONSHIPS.
