Shaun Alexander on Alabama: 'This team has got something special'

[Chechem]

Great story Jamos.  I put it on the front page and sent out a tweet.  Who knows, maybe Shaun will stop by and say hello some time.

That would be great, he's just a nice person. There was also another Bama player that I got to know at the golf tournament, Siran Stacy. He and I had many laughs together at the tournament. He and Coach Jack (Gerald Jack) were big buddies and the three of us had many chances to share some of those "football days" stories. The year of Siran's wreck, he brought his wife and one of his daughters and we had a chance to talk for a while. I've never been so sadden as I was when I heard of the wreck. There is a beautiful story of Siran and one of his discipline issues when he played at Alabama, I'll have to share that with you sometime.

Please do. He has to have an amazing story about courage and I would guess faith, after such a devastating and tragic loss.

Ditto, Jamos.  And thanks for posting these stories.  It makes this place pacle special.

I guess most here have had the opportunity to view this. For those that have not, it is a must-see for Bama fans. Watch all 3 or 4 parts.

Shaun Alexander was too good for the NFL. JMHO

Nothing profound to say here, just also wanted to say "Thanks, Jamos" for sharing the 1st hand story.  I didn't get to UA until Shaun's senior season, but I had lots of friends who had encounters with him.  Never heard a bad word spoken about the man.

awesome testimony from and man I consider one of the best men I know ...
right along with Jeremiah Castille and his family , Shaun and some mutual friends
you see ...
my mom had a stroke , when they heard , they came . one told another who told another
and they just came ... it meant more to me and my family than I can say .
such awesome people , with so much going on in their own lives they still had time for my mom ...

that is what the Alabama Family is all about though isn't it ? Great folks doing Great things ?
puts a whole light on the other thread "An example of how not to treat others" doesn't it ?

Thank God for The University of Alabama and the people of The Alabama Family and
everyone everywhere that loves the Crimson Tide and what it stands for .

I give you a big ole ...
Roll Tide Roll !

Does anyone remember, what I call his coming out party in the game against LSU.   I think this is the correct game.

that was the right game Coach , I remember it like it was yesterday
I had heard about Shaun but never seen him actually play in a game until then
my Lord what a wonderful surprise that was ...
I still bring it up to the LSU faithful friends every chance I get ...
