Stat of the Day: Alabama's Opponent Red Zone Conversions
Alabama's defense is as fearsome a unit as there is in the country. There are few, if any, discernible weaknesses in the group overall. Nick Saban is an outstanding defensive coach and Kirby Smart executes the schemes extremely well -- they are discipline, play fast, understand tendencies, and do...
Stats of the Day: Greg McElroy's Three-Part Season
Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy is something of an enigma. On one hand, he hasn't lost since middle school, a stretch that includes an undefeated record as the starter at Texas high school powerhouse Southlake Carroll after stepping in for Chase Daniel and his current undefeated season in his lone...

Wow, Dirk was really good in April.
Dirk won the Western Conference player of the month award today. Not a huge surprise with the Mavs having a great month, but somehow I didn't completely realize the numbers Dirk had consistently been putting up. Nowitzki helped Dallas to a 6-2 month, including a perfect 6-0 mark at home,...
