This is a great photo that I recently found of Joe Namath wearing an experimental “radio” football helmet. Joe wore this in 1965, his rookie year. The Jets experimented with this so the coaches could send in the plays without the quarterbacks ever having to leave the huddle!
I didn’t realize that the Auburn Tigers were the 2004 National Champs in football!. It must be true though because this ring was recently available for sale on Ebay. Dummy me didn’t realize that they didn’t even play in the title game. I have got to start paying more attention.
This ring is real and is from a player named Guthrie (not sure of his first name, as that would mean I would have to search an Auburn website, something I refuse to do.
I have seen Jason Campbell’s ring from this year on Ebay also, so I assume every player got one. What kind of university pays for championship rings when you didn’t win the championship? Oh yeah, the University of Auburn. It has to be embarrissing to wear this knowing that it is a lie. I think it is an insult to the teams that have earned the national title on the field, you know like the
Alabama Crimson Tide.
.
ROLL TIDE!
Great Video from the University of Alabama highlighting the tradition of football
Congratulations to Jared Ross (born in Huntsville , Al) on becoming only the 2nd player in NHL history born in the great state of Alabama to play in the league.
There was a guy named Aud Tuten (born in Enterprise) who played in 39 games for the Chicago Blackhawks for 2 seasons from 1941 to 1943.
Jared played for the University of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers from 2001 to 2005
He has played for the Motor City Mechanics, Chicago Wolves, Gwinett Gladiators (1 Game), and the Philadelphia Phantoms of the American hockey League.
The picture shown is of Jared with the Philadelphia Phantoms.
Good luck to Jared who is now on the Philadelphia Flyers and in the playoffs. Maybe he can bring the Stanley Cup to Huntsville!

Sorry to see the screen at the Henagar Drive in was caught in the path of the storm this weekend. hope to see it up again soon. They have good food here and recent released movies.
This is a few of the pictures that I took of the damage from the tornado and high winds over the weekend in my area.
I saw 2 trampolines bent, a gazeebo turn over. there were several very large trees uprooted and cut up. they had obviously been across the road at one time.The worst damage was to the A1 Truss company. The Taco Bet Flea Market had tin torn from about 7 booths.The picture of the house was in Powell, Al. 
I just wanted to congratulate Tommy Tuberville and the Auburn Tigers on their seventh (7th) loss of the season. This widely distributed photo on the web shows “Tubs” predicted it a couple of hours before the 2008 Iron Bowl game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama 36 Auburn 0. Although it is not original on my part about the 7 fingers photo , it is still funny and it cannot be distributed too many times on the net.
The other photo needs no comment.
As a die hard Alabama fan I also applaud Auburn for hiring Gene Cheez-it as their head coach. You could not have made a better choice. Give him 10 years and I think he will be great .
Also, I have to give a big Roll Tide to all Alabama fans new hero , Jehremy (a poster on tidesports.com). He attends Auburn, but is an Alabama fan. HE ROLLED TOOMERS CORNER!!! He also showed up at the airport when Cheez-it flew in to cheer. Gotta love it.
7th loss of the season coming up
