Swinging for the fences and accidentally bunting in the process.

Pfft... please.

Pig-In Pig-Out

Maybe just did the BBQ round trip and tried them all? Didn't actually talk with Marshall .. just spent the day trying BBQ. Just trying to figure out what Wichita has that he can bring to Alabama since Marshall said no to his money.

@bob:lutz: Reading tea leaves: Alabama AD spending eight hours with Marshall in Wichita really puts the Tide out there. Won't look good if no deal.

The mountain came to Mohammed...

Slight of hand by Battle. Marshall says no so he tells everyone he is going after Pitino...fails to mention it is baby Pitino.

Maybe Battle spent yesterday talking with Kellen.

Kellen has mentioned that he wanted to coach someday!

Battle: Ladies and Gentlemen we have hired Marshall......Kellen Marshall.

Hmmm lets see a couple of hours from KC BBQ or Alabama, do they even know what BBQ is?

Breaking news: I just ate at an Alabama barbeque restaurant, and it was terrible--definitive proof that Marshall is not going to Alabama.

Birmingham has some good bbq. I worked there temporarily for a couple of months a few years ago. You have to get used to the fact that they don't serve brisket (usually pulled pork or ribs). Also, their meat is hickory smoked.

As for me, I prefer pecan/oak combo and NO pulled pork.

Alabama - a hot, sticky, smelly basketball wasteland

Curious about what the next head coach of the Tide has to look forward to? Aside from mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds, humidity so draining it forces 15-year-olds to take daily 3 hour naps, and a parade of folks driving cars with confederate flags on the roof shouting "FREEBIRD!", it could be summed up in one pop-culture word: Meh.

Looks like Bama hoops enjoyed the 90's about as much as we did, though I'm fairly certain we still filled more than 75% of our seats.

[choida]

It's a shame a SEC school can't fill this stadium... More then anything winning aside... They want Marshall to fill this crap hole to the top... Doing so at a football school will be tough.. Especially when the place looks like a funeral home..m

I don't think I can trust a man that says no to pulled pork.

Does this take you out of the running for their new head coach?

How much does it **** with your atmosphere when you sell basketball tickets as part of the football package to people who only want to drive across the state for Saturday football games and not Tuesday games against Vandy?
