    You're myths article isn't really accurate at all. I understand it's for Alabama but I simply saw no good enough evidence for basically any of your statements. By the way Mosley being compared to Te'o is a joke. You forgot the biggest stat which is his game-changing takeaways, a characteristic that is light years ahead of Mosley. In fact Mosley isn't even the best defensive player on Alabama IMO.

    "The boys over at ESPN appear to be working overtime in an effort to make Notre Dame the greatest thing for football since the forward pass...And as we have seen throughout the month of December from the experts at the four-letter network, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are clearly the better team and will cruise right by the weaker Alabama from that tiny little conference called the SEC." - Bryan Powers

    Pardon? Can you cite to anything to back this up?

    After the bowl games, how about writing an article on Bryant's assistant coaches who won national championships? I think the list is:

    Paul Dietzel LSU 58
    Danny Ford Clemson 81
    Howard Schnellenberger Miami 83
    Gene Stallings Alabama 92

    and maybe include those who were very prominent and just almost won national championships such as:

    Charlie McClendon LSU 70
    Jackie Sherril Pittsburg 81 or so

    I would greatly enjoy seeing more historical articles. I stumbled across one today by "BabyTate" published on bleacherreport.com in 2008 on active coaches in Bryant's tree. Please no gossip in historical articles.

    Bryan, that article just struck me as an apologia for the "convicted teabagger." I couldn't put myself in any position to empathize with him. He was lucky not to have to register as a sex offender. Although you did write that he did a terrible thing, you appeared to qualify those feelings in subsequent paragraphs. I passed it along for someone else to edit. No offense or disrespect intended, I just strongly disagreed with the tenor of your piece.

    Mr Powers I do respect your opinion, I got carried away. I apologize. I just strongly disagreed.

    Mr. Powers,
    Your article (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1331255-alabama-vs-arkansas-how-the-injury-depleted-hogs-can-alter-both-sec-races) says that SC Gamecocks don't have to play LSU. They do play LSU on Oct 13th.

    I'm loving your articles. I hope that you stick it out and become a featured columnist for the Alabama page. It can take a while but after you get there your articles will get a lot of air time, especially in the newsletters.

    Let me know if you need anything to help with the writing. The Alabama page is the most popular CFB page on Bleacher and we would like to keep it that way, and your stuff is top-notch.
