The Bham News drops another edition
We at Capstone Report strongly encourage you to consider your choices when it comes to where you get your news…specifically, your sports news…in our fair state. If you enjoy reading that a football program who has yet to play a game, led by a coach who is a perennial loser somehow holds all the cards [...]
Pinocchi-Chiz
Remember when Chiz said Abarn was taking back the state? So do three in-state Abarn QB’s that just got displaced by a juco Georgia peach. Maybe he meant they were taking “back ups” from the state… I guess lying is okay in the Ahwbun Fambly? Think other in-state kids will catch on to the game? [...]
Capstone Saturdays: Abarn relieved ODK is okay
Abarn fans expressed relief Saturday that the Foy-ODK Trophy was accounted for and “okay.” “We hadn’t seen it in a couple of years and didn’t know if it was just missing or what,” said Lloyd Bromingham, a long-time Abarn fan and graduate. “But I seen it with mine own eyes today. I feel better.” Other [...]
Capstone Saturdays: Bama Basketball
This Saturday as the Tide hosts the Tiggers, the men’s basketball season mercifully comes to an end in Tuscaloosa. Sure, there’s the SEC tournament to look forward to next week, but for all intents and purposes it ends tomorrow. After all, does anyone expect this team to make a run next week? Though basketball seemingly [...]
Clowns of the Alabama Media: Scarbinsky
Editorial Cartoon: Clowns of the Alabama Media series: Scarbinsky I am beginning a new series simply entitled, “Clowns of the Alabama Media.” Oh, there are so many. Check back weekly for new installments this spring. Today, we honor Birmingham News columnist Kevin Scarbinsky. Some call him a Finebaum wanna be, others a shock writer, others [...]
Capstone Saturdays: Fire When Ready, Aight?
Editorial Cartoon: Fire When Ready, Aight? I continue to be utterly amazed by the job Nick Saban has done and continues to do at Alabama. When you stop and think about what he’s accomplished in just three short years, it is staggering. First, there was the change of perception. Momentum and buzz stepped off the [...]
Capstone Saturdays: ODK Missing From Beard Eaves
Editorial Cartoon: ODK Missing From Beard Eaves Circulating reports yesterday had the Foy-ODK Sportsmanship Trophy missing from Beard Eaves Memorial Coliseum for the second consecutive year.

Capstone Saturdays: One Big Cat Gets Away
Editorial Cartoon: One Big Cat Gets Away Abarn is doing better in recruiting than they have in years, and while there may be rea$on$ for that, that’s not what this article is about. Week in and week out, the barn benefits from Alabama media writers and talking heads who offer their PR services at no [...]
Capstone Saturdays: Smoky Is Stuck
Editorial Cartoon: Smoky Is Stuck Oh what great days to be a Bama fan. He Vols, Dooley you really think you have a chance against Bama in the near future?
Capstone Saturdays: Vol Candy Store
Editorial Cartoon: Vol Candy Store If you like poking fun at the Volunteers, it’s a great day to be alive. Like a fat kid in a candy store, it’s hard to know where to begin. Almost ten years ago now, the Big Orange hillbilly nation repeatedly buried the toes of their boots in our Crimson [...]

Capstone Saturdays: Auburn In Championships
Editorial Cartoon: How Auburn Participates In Championship Games Tonight, Alabama goes for its 13th National Championship, just three years removed from being laid to waste on the college football landscape. If you’re an Aubie, there is a way you can participate too. But sadly, it’s the only way. Auburn will never stand on the platform [...]
Capstone Saturdays: Where’s The Bowl Beef?
Editorial Cartoon: Where’s The Bowl Beef New Year’s Bowls Mean Nothing Today Remember when New Year’s Day was a sacred holiday? I do. In the days before cable, my family would gather in the living room, stack television sets on top of each other, and watch multiple bowl games at once. The match-ups were that [...]
Capstone Saturdays: Auburn Hell
Editorial Cartoon: Auburn Hell This is a tall statement, but perhaps there is no worse time in history to be an Auburn fan than right now. If you’re an Aubie, you live, breathe, and die Alabama football. The demise of your big brother across the state is what keeps you going. It’s the focal point [...]

Capstone Saturdays: Passing Out The Trophies
Editorial Cartoon: Passing Out The Trophies Wow, what a game. We have the FOY Trophy for another year, and the boogs shelve another moral victory trophy. In a hostile environment, back against the wall, vying for its second consecutive perfect regular season…the first back-to-back 12-0 regular seasons in a row in its illustrious history…the Bama offense [...]
Capstone Saturdays: Daddy’s Home.
Editorial Cartoon: Daddy’s Home This week has been a roller coaster ride for me. I hate this game every year because it means so much, and determines so much in the circles that I run in. I have been uneasy about this game, but after some self-introspection, let me tell you why. I found the [...]
Capstone Saturdays: AU’s Secret Plan
Editorial Cartoon: AU’s Secret Plan I actually talked to a lost soul today, clad in orange and blue, who said Bama wouldn’t win Friday because they haven’t been in a hostile stadium this season. Forget that 90% of this team played in Death Valley’s version of Armageddon last year, not to mention Knoxville and Athens. [...]

Editorial Cartoon: Urban’s Scales of Justice Okay, I know I’m late to the punch on this one, but I had to weigh in. The footage of Florida’s savage LB raking the eyes of the Georgia RB was one of the most troubling sights I’ve ever witnessed as a football fan. They say stuff happens in [...]

Editorial Cartoon: Little Lane meets Big Mike This concludes my daily celebration of our third consecutive victory over the Vols. I hope you’ve enjoyed them.

ITK: Cam reality, thoughts on the first weekend
With the first college football weekend of 2010 now in the books, what do we know? 2009 was just the beginning. This notion was offered by Saban at a BCS championship party last January, but it really was true. There’s a lot of football to play, and yes, a football can take some funny bounces, [...]
