We've been following the whole Orange jersey request by Tennessee, and Mal Moore made this comment in the Mobile Press Register: "it is our desire to maintain the custom of the visiting team wearing their visiting jerseys.

Pat Forde on ESPN.com gives respect to the Crimson Tide Offensive line. When talking about replacing a void from last year he writes, "The Crimson Tide lost three starters, two of them All-Americans, from the 2008 road-grading crew that made Glen Coffee and John Parker Wilson look good. Now the rebuilt line is making Mark Ingram and Greg McElroy look better."
Here's a link to a fan page on facebook that is promoting Mark Ingram for Heisman. We're not affiliated with the page, but it's a worthy cause.
