Memorial Day Tournament!!!

So, eleven of you have said that you can attend the Memorial Day Tournament. I know that David and Paul will not be able to as they are out of town. Now, we need to figure out exactly who is going to play considering we have enough players. The cost per person is $20, so you need to pony that up asap.

So in the comments below tell us if you are going to be there or not. Please do this now so we can get some other players to join us in wining the tournament (cause we will) if we do not have enough.

As folks comment I will update the roster below.

Folks who rock and will be there:
Josh
Brandon
Brad
David E.
Jeremy
Joe
Jeff
Omi
Keith
Mark
Bob S.

Why I am a college football fan

http://dailyfootballfix.blogspot.com/2007/03/story-still-not-old.html

HARTSELLE — So, how dedicated are you to Alabama football?If you answer that you have season tickets and that you go to every game, that's not good enough for Tim and Hannah Witt.They do that, too.But, if you say that you are naming your children after something associated with Crimson Tide football, then you're at the level the couple says separates "regular fans" from "die-hard fans."As early as mid-January, the Witts knew their second child was a boy, and they knew his name would be Saban.That's right, Saban Hardin Witt, who was born Tuesday at about 5 p.m. in Decatur General Hospital, is named after Alabama head football coach Nick Saban. He was two weeks early and weighed 7 pounds and 10 ounces.So, what if Saban doesn't succeed as Alabama's football coach?"We'll tell our son he was named after one of the highest paid coaches in college football," the father said.What if Saban Witt turns into an Auburn fan?"We'll put him up for adoption," his father, joked. "I'm not worried about that. He was bleeding Crimson before he was born, and I'm going to make sure he continues to bleed Crimson."Older brother is TydeThe Witts of Hartselle named their first child, who is 23 months old, Tyde Timothy Witt. He's already attended several Alabama football games.The family will introduce Saban Witt to tailgating and to the Tide nation when Alabama plays Florida State on Sept. 29 at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla."My parents are going to the game to baby-sit," his father said.Hannah Witt, a third-grade teacher at Crestline Elementary in Hartselle, was almost six months pregnant before the Witts decided on a name. Initially, they talked about honoring legendary Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant."We were going to spell it differently," she said, of the name Bear.But, the father said one of his good friends, who is a coach in Limestone County, has the nickname "Bear" so they opted against that.Tim Witt, who watched the Alabama coaching search as closely as anyone, said he thought about naming the baby Saban Jan. 4 after Athletic Director Mal Moore introduced Nick Saban as the Tide's head football coach.Warming to name"Hannah was at school, and I called and left her a message," he recalled. "She wasn't excited about the name initially, but after about a week, she started to like it."The mother said she knew they were going with a name with an Alabama theme, but Saban didn't seem right initially."I thought he was crazy in the beginning," she said. "I told some people. They said it was unique, and it grew on me."The father said friends told him he was crazy.The Witts said both sets of grandparents — Wayne and Inez Witt of Hatton and Joe and Paula Hardin of Falkville — approved the name.Hartselle Mayor Dwight Tankersley goes to church with the Witts at Fairview Church of God and tailgates with them at Alabama home games.Although Saban hasn't coached a game at Alabama, Tankersley isn't surprised that the couple selected that name."Just about everybody in church knows they are Alabama football fanatics," Tankersley said."Their first child is Tyde. I don't think anybody in church is surprised."

For those of you that have known me for a while---ya'll know I love tatts. I have 7, plan on getting a few more-including a University of Alabama one on my ankle. My friend sent me this "gem" in response.

BRING MONEY

Saturday to practice. Nobody has responded! We have to pay Kate back for at least the league fee or for the jerseys.

Also, can we think about doing a car wash next Saturday? We dont play any games that weekend, so lets raise some money instead!
