Flashback: Rex "kicked the whatchamacallit out of it!"

1978 against Kentucky. Behind the feet of Willie and the foot of Rex, the Dawgs escape Lexington with a last second win. I've heard Rex say before that he really didn't have to boot the ball hard from that distance. But that's not the way Larry Munson saw it.


"The clock just will not stop!....the clock's against us!"

Duron Carter doesn't have time...

...for this shit. Or studying.
Alabama wide receiver Duron Carter has left the program, a source confirmed to ESPN's Joe Schad.
Carter, who never played a down for the Crimson Tide after transferring to the school in 2011, is seeking another program to play for, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
The junior wideout, who is the son of former NFL receiver and current ESPN analyst Cris Carter, began his career at Ohio State and was a boon for an Alabama coaching staff looking for a deep threat after Julio Jones left the program early for the NFL draft. But Carter couldn't stay academically eligible last season, and coach Nick Saban suspended him in March.
Carter was not reinstated, and his profile did not appear in the Crimson Tide media guide that was released earlier this week.

Committee of tailbacks, from the horse's mouth

Ok, I gave y'all my two cents. Yesterday Coach Richt himself addressed the make up of the tailback position going into the season.
“We’ve got some really good backs on this football team. It certainly will change Richard Samuel’s role I would think. He was transitioning to at least the hybrid tailback/fullback for us, but I don’t think he’ll be getting an awful lot of time at fullback now. He may still be ready to go if needed over there. He’ll still most of his time at tailback. Of course, Ken Malcome was actually the No. 1 tailback at the end of spring ball. And our two young backs (Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley) will get an opportunity to show what they can do and that’s why they came here to play and play early. Historically freshmen backs can come in and do well. Plus we’ve got (Brandon) Harton and (Kyle) Karempelis, a couple of walk-ons that have played for us and know the system and function well and will only get better as well. So we’ve got some guys that can come in and play.”
Richt doesn't read my blog, but if he did I think he would've voted Karempelis.

SEC Media Days Recap - Richt and his Dawgs

First, Coach Richt talks about a variety of topics including Crowell, the schedule, Mizzou opener and replacing some key players from last year's SEC East Division Champions.

Abry Jones loosens his tie to talk about the upcoming season and specifically the defense that returns so many starters. 

Next Jarvis Jones talks about the move from ILB to outside, the team's potential and basically what it's like carrying Jules Winnfield's wallet.

Last, Tavarres King talks about his quarterback and his role in the offense as well as the prospects this season.

GATArchives: Bill Bates meets the kid from Johnson Co.

First game. First play. All it took for a legend to be born.


Here Larry Munson walks all over the 1980 season opener, much as Herschel walked all over Bates. You've seen the play a million times, but this is a chance to hear Munson help you get the picture for a game that helped set the stage for a spectacular season.


It's an instant classic.
