 Yea Alabama 2008:
- Provides a thorough preview of the 2008 Crimson Tide, including returning players, recruits, and opponents
- Features articles on the hiring of Nick Saban, the coaching staff changes, and what it will take to return Bama to prominence.
- Contains in-depth articles on Alabamas storied bowl history, perspectives from the outside looking in, and discussion of issues relevant to every Tide fan, such as the importance of scheduling in building a winning program, and the stirring of October games versus Tennessee and Auburn.
Why buy preseason publications that provide only a page or two on Alabama football, when you can get 112 ad-free pages wholly devoted to your favorite team? Yea Alabama 2008 is the must-have preview book for any diehard Crimson Tide fan.
From the start, Yea Alabama 2008 plunges right into the key issues with offensive and defensive previews for the 2008 season, discussing what is needed to rebuild on both sides of the ball. There is a detailed analysis of three plays that defined the offensive struggles of recent years, and youll also find an examination of new recruits, profiles of the new coaching staff, and a thorough examination of Alabamas 2008 opponents.
The section on the Future of Alabama Football starts off by looking at the confluence of factors--recruiting, discipline, scheduling, and a bit of luck--that need to align for Alabama to return to prominence. New head coach Nick Sabans scheduling philosophy is outlined, which shows the importance of maintaining a challenging out of conference slate year to year. And the section wraps up with a discussion of the changes in the SEC since Saban won a national title at LSU.
The final section on Crimson Tide football history and perspective gives us a look from the outside as a Pac-10 fan travels through SEC country. It goes on to look at the Tennessee and Auburn rivalries, and the long tradition of bowl games in Alabama football history, including the 1926 Rose Bowl that put Southern football on the map.
The arrival of Nick Saban has Bama fans looking forward to the resurgence of Crimson Tide football, and no publication will prepare you better than Yea Alabama 2008. Analysis, roster, stats, pictures, and history, Yea Alabama is packed with information every fan will want by their side throughout the 2008 season. The wait is finally over. Alabama football as you knew it is back!!!
