Primarily devoted to Alabama football, with some other sports and teams sometimes.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It’s been almost two months and I still don’t get tired of this.
That game, I loved it.
This video. Still gives me chills.
Here’s a yahoo sports article about him, Joseph Williams, a junior safety at UVA.
For the past eight days, Williams, a junior walk-on who has played in two games during his career, has been on a hunger strike “to protest the economic and social injustices perpetrated by the UVa administration against the vast majority of the University’s service-sector employees.”
After relating an excerpt from an essay he wrote about this problem, the article goes on to say:
It’s not often that you read this kind of political discourse by such a young man, and let’s be honest, a football player. But Williams is not your ordinary student-athlete. He graduated from Dominion (Sterling, Va.) High when he was 16. In his essay he notes that he was one of four children supported by a single mother and that he lived in 30 different places, including many homeless shelters, which gave him a profound appreciation for socioeconomic challenges.
He walked on at Virginia at age 17 and has been refining his knowledge of politics ever since.
He does not say how long he plans to stay on strike, but as of Thursday, 18 students were involved in the cause. It’s interesting, and even somewhat refreshing, to see a student-athlete go to the extremes for what he believes.
What a great story.
Yes.
Back to sitting front row at baseball. And after losing horribly 3 times during opening weekend, our guys got their stuff together and pulled out a 14-0 smashing of University of Arkansas - Pine Bluff. Roll Tide. Also, the first pitch was thrown by the kid with the face. You know which kid. This kid:
Yes. Face and all, he threw the first pitch. God, I love Alabama.
Second of all, I got free chipotle. Which happens fairly regularly, because I eat there more often than normal people.
Finally, I come home to find my birthday present from my mom - the ENTIRE SERIES of “I Love Lucy” (arguably the best show ever)!!! Awesome.
Also, this was the sunset today over my love - the Black Warrior River: 
No. 6 Alabama Gymnastics beats No. 5 Arkansas 197.650-196.125 on Feb. 17, 2012 in Coleman Coliseum in the Crimson Tide’s eighth annual Power of Pink meet, which raises awareness of the fight against breast cancer.

Julio can look so scary, but I love it when he smiles haha.
Because our Women’s Basketball team beat the #7 ranked KENTUCKY tonight 77-75.
No joke.
To give you an idea of how big that is for our girls… it’s the first time we’ve beat a top 10 team in 12 years. 12 years.
Roll stinkin’ tide to y’all.
