Alabama - The Crimson Tide "bear" Bryant

From playing her first college football game in 1892, Alabama Crimson Tide football program has become one of the of the College football more successful. With thirteen national titles and eight Championships consensus of coaches to your credit or access point, Alabama program has constantly remained among the elite of the NCAA football skills. Almost half of the National Championships in the program were obtained during the tenure of an Alabama - "Bear" Paul Bryant, legendary coach who led Alabama teams from 1957 until his retirement from the 1982 season.

Arrival of bear

When Bryant arrived in Alabama from Texas A & M, the program had been suffering for a period of four straight losing seasons. Arrival of bear seemed to spark the tide is necessary to activate the program around, and equipment that year the posted a record of five wins, four losses and a tie. Unique style Bryant as coach and masterly sporting discipline provides the foundation that the program needed to enable players begin to operate as a team and ascend towards its potential. In his fourth campaign with the program, Bryant had the Crimson Tide in national championship contention. In fact, went on to win the national title that year, on the first voyage of Bryant a bowl with its new computer game. It was a feat that team is often repeated during his tenure as coach, since the program became one of the most dominant in the NCAAs.From 1961 onwards and ending with the 1966 season the Crimson Tide was able to accumulate 60 total victories with only 5 losses.During that same period, won three national championships, SEC titles and were invited to six matches of Bowl. in two of those seasons, the team went undefeated. Alabama football was back!

1970S and beyond

The next decade belonged to Bryant marea.Equipos took the SEC Championship eight of those ten years, and won another three national titles as well.That period also saw another first for the Alabama team and happened during a rematch of the tide USC loss in 1970.During the game between the two schools next year, Bryant took the fateful decision to allow the American player John Mitchell to start your computer.Although Alabama won the game for a touchdown, is best known for being the first instance of a black player to start a game of Alabama.

The end of career Bryant came after more than two decades as coach of Alabama and was - in a timely manner, some would say - a victory for its tide 1982.Bryant Liberty Bowl game left the sport with a total of 323 WINS, which was at that time the most ever recorded by a College of 25 entrenador.Sus full seasons with the tide still represent the gold standard for training of college football, and many are coaches who since then have said bear as its source of inspiration. Bryant died in 1983, a mere month after his last game training.

Alabama, Texas, Cincinnati, Oregon and Georgia all won major conference championships recently and earned key spots in 4 of the 5 upcoming, coveted BCS bowl games.Here is how their victories have changed my Top 25 Poll rankings for college football's 14th week.

(1) Alabama (13-0) – Beat Florida, last year's national champion, 32-13 to win the SEC Conference Championship and the right to play Texas in the National Championship Game. There is a reason why I have had Alabama ranked No. 1 for the last seven consecutive weeks.Now you know why;the Crimson Tide players are better than the Gator players this year.

(2) Texas (13-0) – Almost got upset by a tenacious Nebraska defense, but used 1 second left on the clock to kick to 46-yard field goal and win the Big 12 Championship, 13-12, and the right to play Alabama in the National Championship Game.

(3) Cincinnati (12-0) – Came from 21 points down to outlast Pittsburgh 45 - 44 and win the Big East Championship, and will face Florida in the Sugar Bowl.I like Cincinnati's high-powered, spread offense, and its unbeaten record, but not its defense.Then again, Florida's outstanding defense gave up 32 points to Alabama.

(4) Texas Christian (12-0) won the Mountain West Conference title, and will now face fellow unbeaten Boise State (13-0) in the BCS Bowl party. Marks the first ever BCS game with two mid-major teams.

(5) Boise State (13-0) – won the Western Athletic Conference title, and will now face unbeaten Texas Christian in the Fiesta Bowl.

(6) Florida (12-1) - Lost SEC title to Alabama 32-13, and lost the right to defend its national title game. Will face unbeaten Cincinnati in the BCS Sugar Bowl.Florida fans, please shut up.There is a difference between wanting to win, playing to win, thinking you are going to win, and winning.Z'nuff said.

(7) Oregon (10-2) - won slugfest against Oregon State 37 33 to win the Pac-10 Conference title, and a trip to the BCS Rose Bowl to face Ohio State. Played much tougher competition than Atlantic Coast Conference and even Big Ten teams.

(8) Ohio State (10-2) - won the Big Ten title outright, and will face Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Played much tougher competition than Atlantic Coast Conference teams.

(9) Georgia Tech (11-2) - Beat Clemson 39-34 to win the Atlantic Coast Conference title, and will play Iowa in the BCS Orange Bowl.

(10) Iowa (10-2) - Runner-up in the Big Ten with Penn State, but beat the Nittany Lions head on, and the Hawkeyes take their better defense to the Orange Bowl against Georgia Tech.

(11) Penn State (10-2) - Runner-up in the Big Ten with Iowa. Will meet Louisiana State in the Capital One Bowl, the next most prestigious bowl game after the 5 BCS bowl games.

(12) (9-3) - LSU Finished as runner-up to Alabama in the SEC West Division. Will face Penn State in the Capital One Bowl.

(13) Pittsburgh (9-3) - Cincinnati Gave all it wanted and more before it lost to the Bearcats 45-44 in the Big East title game. Will face North Carolina (8-4) in the Meineke Car Care Bowl game.Pitt should have merited a better bowl game.

(14) Nebraska (9-4) - Got little notice as the Cornhuskers struggled earlier in the year to find an offense that could win games. Darn near Texas upset for the Big 12 Conference title.Will meet Arizona (8-4) in the Holiday Bowl. This should be an excellent bowl game because these are two very worthy teams with much better than average defenses-Nebraska ranks 11th nationally in total defense, and Arizona 22nd among 120 major college teams.

(15) Oregon State (8-4) - Oregon Gave all it could handle in the Pac-10 title game before losing, 37-33.The Beavers are dirty, one mean team headed to the Las Vegas Bowl to face Brigham Young (10-2). It tells you something when a 10-2 team faces an 8-4 team in a bowl game. The Cougars had better make sure they bring their helmets to this one, otherwise, the Beavers might knock them silly.

(16) East Carolina (9-4) - Whipped Houston (10-3) for the mid-major Conference USA Championship, 38-32, and earned a trip to the Liberty Bowl to face Arkansas (7-5), the team absolutely nobody wanted to play in the SEC.Arkansas Georgia took to the max, beat Texas A & M, Auburn and South Carolina, and lost three away games to Florida, LSU and Mississippi, all by a single field goal. Yikes. This should be really interesting for East Carolina; There is no question it will be interesting for Arkansas.

(17) Stanford (8-4) - Could be the second best 8-4 team in the country. Played the 19th toughest schedule in its climb back to national recognition.Will face Oklahoma (7-5) in the Sun Bowl. Oklahoma might be the best 7-5 team in the country.

(18) Brigham Young (10-2) - Was runner-up to TCU in the Mountain West Conference.Will face Oregon State (8-4) in the Las Vegas Bowl.

(20) Utah (9-3) - Finished 3rd to TCU and BYU in the Mountain West Conference. Will California face (8-4) in the Poinsettia Bowl.

(21) California (8-4) - season's best candidate for the yo-yo award-had wins against UCLA, Arizona State, Arizona and Stanford, and huge losses against Oregon, Southern California, Oregon State and Washington.Will face Utah in the Poinsettia Bowl; two teams that deserve each other.

(22) Houston (10-3) - Lost to East Carolina (9-4) in the USA Conference championship game, 38-32, despite having the nation's most explosive scoring offense.The fact that the Cougars are relegated to playing Air Force (7-5) in the Armed Forces Bowl shows you what the people who really count think about Houston.

(23) Southern California (8-4) - The season's most surprising fall from power, losing to Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Stanford.The Trojans had at least 11 wins and BCS bowl game appearances for 7 consecutive years-the most successful football program in the country during the streak that was broken this year.Will face Boston College (8-4) in the Emerald Bowl.If USC does not beat Boston College, its image will take another major hit.

(24) Central Michigan (11-2) - Beat Ohio (9-4), 20-10 for the Mid American Conference Championship, and will face Troy ((9-3), the Sun Belt Conference Champion, in the GMAC Bowl.)

(25) No other teams impress me enough to even merit my 25th spot.Fill in your own favorite because it doesn't make a nickel's worth of difference to me.

This is not my last Top 25 Poll for this season.The next and final one will be posted after the National Championship Game between Alabama and Texas on Jan.7 Until then, enjoy the 34 bowl games

How is a Tough Alabama football coach Thriving Alps?

College football in the region more difficult in the United States as coach of the Giants of Graz Turek of the Football League of American Austria, regarded as one of the toughest football leagues in Europe, to become Austria, secondary school and Rick Rhoades national team coach journey as a football coach football training has been colorful and filled with a consistent pattern of success. And as it is the case with many coaches success, however, Rhoades is sincerely modest about his success.

His record in high school, University pro levels is sorprendente.Sin embargo, you any other good coach would have had the same success that in the circumstances.

Rhoades is entering his fourth season as coach of the Giants of Graz.Desde Austria arrival in 2007, he has taken his team to the Austrian Bowl Championship game) each year, winning it in 2008 and has been classified in the first three in Europe during the past two years. In 2008, the Giants won EFAF Cup.

"We could not have achieved this without launching by the club of the Giants, the building blocks", says coach Rhoades."Our President has launched youngest development programmes, and therefore Austrian soccer in our team players have learned the basics at an early age."

Played in Central Missouri Guard before discovering his passion for the game of entrenamiento.Ha continued since then coach that is over 40 years of experience. It was high school in Alabama football coach before becoming Troy State (NCAA II) in Alabama, where team won two national championships (1984 and 1987) and Rhoades was named coach of the year of the national head coach.

It was a very special team with a very special group of players who grew up close in the course of four years, said."We win 45 games and I think that somewhere between 25 and 30 players came to become trainers."

Then spent at Southern Illinois before becoming the offensive coordinator at the University of Kentucky for three years.D. was at Nicholls State (1993-94 coach) and Pelham H.S. (1996-2000 coach), as well as Stephen Austin University (1996 linebackers coach) and spent one season in the professional XFL with the Birmingham Bulls.

Then took as head coach in Chief of the Delta State University (2002-2006) before reaching Austria, where he spent five seasons highly successful to guide the team to number three General United States second division football coach.In fact, as a coach or its Rhoades Wizard has been part of a State Championship team coaching high school, six teams from four finals, a team of the SEC Championship and two teams championship nacional.Se is an amazing record.

Now also responsible for the Austrian national team Rick has turned his attention to win the European Championship Football American Alemania.Esto July 2010 means that going to work on one platform across the continent with the attention of pressure and a país.Y media however, attentive to the coach that has developed through his four decades apart from football philosophy will continue to bring you:

"Training is really about people that shares his experiences con.A regret that such relations do not always easy or soft, are what makes the trip worth alleged pena.Por Championships and great teams are always special, but the real payoff in training is to see players and teams reach their full potential".

These wise words sound certainly true for Rick Rhoades to Yes mismo.Y explains why players and coaches respond to it and manage to achieve the highest level of success.

The religion of football

Here in Alabama, there are three kinds of people: fans of Alabama Crimson Tide fans Tiger Auburn and atheists. Two of the three will go to hell when they die. That two depend entirely on that ask.

Are called Alabamians who like football but do not have any special equipment, preference "agnostics." It is the faithful hope that one day these poor, pathetic souls will buy a jacket of Alabama or give a plug of Auburn and experience the joy of committing to a particular computer.Until then, are considered to be social outcasts and recreativos.A pray for them is that we can do.

Why all the religious references a column that is supposed to be about football? because religion and football are closely interlinked, my friend, far more in common can pensar.Tenga account this passage from the great guide of San Adanes, recently discovered in a dark basement on the campus of the University of Notre Dame.

The step reads: "And on the seventh day God created football and everything was right with the world... until Satan brought the referees..."

It is impossible to believe in college football without also believe in a higher power. Here in Alabama - and a lot of other places - football is a religion. For some, is the only religion.Blasphemy, you say?Creo.Oraciones more was said and answered during the match average college football in most churches during a month of the domingos.Esto explains why evangelists love to celebrate revivals in football stadiums. Mood has already been established. The Congregation has season tickets.

Consider this: Alabama has been a lot of national press lately due to two things:

(1) The quality (or lack thereof) of the University of Alabama football team and (2) morality is taking and battles legal libra by Alabamians on the separation of Church and State. Football and religion religion and football. And for us.

Playing God in Alabama offense are people as students of secondary school who walked out of class as a moment of prayer was not allowed by a test of matemáticas.Personalmente, I prefer to have my teens saying prayers in the classrooms of school who sing rap songs and riding around in heavy cars. I believe that these young people are limited, however. When I was in school we prayed before of each test, not only in mathematics.

Then is Judge Roy Moore, one of the captains team of God, if you want. Moore is the Alabama judge that has ten commandments plaque hung on the wall in her courtroom. The Supreme Court has ordered the Board to be decommissioned, but our beloved Governor FOB "I am the law in these elements" James, has said that we will send in the National Guard to ensure Board kept up. You can call this opting for the defence.

What opens another question: If Alabama secedes from the Union due to the oppression of the ACLU and NCAA, which makes FOB our King?If so, I think that it is more than enough reason to not be separated. King FOB. Sounds as a giant Gorilla with a voice, impediment is not the case.

Return to the present topic, I believe that football has become a religion reach more opinion is attested by the fact that still nobody tried to push a legal lever between organized religion and organized College football.Perhaps give account of how useless would be their efforts.Or perhaps only fears of divine retribution.I understand Bear Bryant and Shug Jordan were not men be crossed while here on Earth.God forbid some heretic, ACLU lawyer upset them now.

When the University of Alabama and Auburn play among themselves as did them the past weekend, the faithful drop everything you do and attend the game as sages chasing star distante.Todo State is todavía.Intente find a washing machine repairman or a medical emergency during a game of Alabama/Auburn.Son room be found by any parte.Usted may die in dirty clothes, but it is what you get for not attending the big game.

End of Iron Bowl this year was, as always, proportions apocalípticas.En final moments of the game, just before the famous Bell to indicate the end everyone's faith was put in prueba.Como marked clock down-... 5 6...4... 3... 2... 1...they were either devoutly to Alabama or completely gave his life to Auburn.

There was no "Atheist" section in these media.

Amen.

History of stands - What have retired From The Game - Janssen learned Nebraska Football players

THE BALLAD OF AN ANONYMOUS HERO

If you are a fan of devout husker, exit the tape of the 1972 national championship game with Alabama.Fast foreword to the last play of the first quarter and you will find Johnny Rodgers to galloping down the field to a courtyard 77 Nebraska.Observe touchdown carefully as forms of wall and "put 'em in the corridors" husker three defensive linemen out seven players of Alabama and Johnny spring for another of his famous runs.

But today is day of Johnny.Belongs to one of these three linieros.Su numbers were 55 and his name is Bill Janssen. Bill fails to finish this game because sprained an ankle in the second quarter.

Janssen arrived in Nebraska in Red River High School in Grand Forks, North Dakota.His father was in the air force Unidos.Bill States was a 6'4 ", pound 215 giant and learned his skills soccer in Texas in other air force assignment."

"When I moved to North Dakota, was out of interest in sports," recalled Janssen.Hockey was great sport and I didn't know anything about.

No problem.

Nebraska took notice of a very talented soccer player in hockeyland.Una Husker Carl Selmer coaches visit and Monte Kiffin, apart from a small arm twisting of brother Bill, Carl, who played football for the Air Force Academy took the easy decision. Bill became a husker.

One of his first memories of Nebraska Football was in a rookie at the meeting with coach Bob Devaney.

"Coach Devaney walked in the dressing room of the House and began asking lots of questions," said Bill.

"How many of the guys played on computers where won more games lost?" Devaney requested.

"Perhaps one-third of boys erected their continuation armas.A, Devaney wanted to know how many guys played on computers where they lost more games that won."Once again, went up a third of the hands.Then asked what a coach of high school who told us how many of us had was too bad we lost because we play so well?"All hands went up."

"" Well this bullshit, "told Devaney."His coach does not tell the truth.Football is a game of errors. When you make fewer errors than the other guy, you win. Eliminate errors in Nebraska. That is why we won in Nebraska. "

"But there was a time or two when you didn't win Nebraska.""" You'll learn even more from those days ", said Janssen." I remember that very long, flat ride bus home from California when UCLA below of the arm of Mark Harmon, beat us 20-17 in 1972.Fullback, McAlestar, flew just above me in a work where needed some large yardage to stay at ella.Doug Dumler and I were captains when our streak game 31 came to an end. "This was not fun."

"Your best memory is the second national championship against Alabama game."My best performance was that first fourth comeback against Alabama punt. I am very proud of what we did on this play.Kiffin told us that it might be available to us and sure enough, when provisions we arrive to and enabled Johnny Juice, fue.Creo who broke the back of Alabama.We were 13-0 to another national championship.That was a fun ride home."

Janssen was drafted in the eighth round of the by Pittsburgh but pro football was simply not as fun as a schoolboy he.

"Football takes a toll on you and was taking a toll on me," said Bill."Is time for me to proceed."

Its harder assignment came almost at the same time.He and his wife were expecting twins.Twin daughters, Monica and Heather were born three months premature.Heather only survived during a day.

"Had only 24 and treated," said as a softness has over their eyes."Clear is that his daughter Heather took much of his father's heart special elsewhere."I committed to be the best father I could be

"If they meet Bill Street, probably wouldn't know about his football days.""" Not driving with that"said.""I even thought long and hard envelope if I do this," he said as he makes note of the large ring of gold in his right-hand with large red stone and a diamond in the centro.Es 1971 national championship ring.

"Is large, and some would say, a little sad, but taking into account the bruises and broken bones, I guess I've earned the right to usar.Me imagine that I will always be proud that I was anonymous heroes one Nebraska."

In fact, you are a hero, Mr. Janssen.De done you are.
