Official Site for Thad Forester
When I started this website, it was with intentions of using it for business. Since that still hasn’t happened, I think it’s time to take a little break for a month or so. And I just jumped on the Facebook bandwagon.
Hopefully in the near future it will be resurrected and actually have helpful information, and provide a way for me to benefit monetarily.
Thanks to all who read and commented. Keep visiting regardless!
It was made official today that Mark Gottfried is no longer the head basketball coach at UA. I’ve wanted this to happan for a while, but still liked the guy. Look at the excitement on my face in this picture. And look at Derek–his fist was clinched even then. Derek has lead the way for at least two years to get rid of Gottfried. We kept this a little quiet because of our good friend Becky. She worked for him and was completely loyal to him. I wonder if I can now have that crimson sport coat he wore to certain SEC games?
I knew there was a problem this past Saturday when we took some of my nieces and nephew to the UA/UK game. A man sold me 6 tickets for $10. This was too good to pass up. That’s sad when face value is $18/ticket.
He was a good player here in the 80’s and did well at times as coach, but we could never win on the road. I always knew we were going to lose at Ole Miss too–it was a given. Something about Mark and the Tad Pad.
So long coach. I do appreciate your hard work here, even though it wasn’t enough. I wish him well. And surely we’ll bring in a big-name coach now that will recruit some ball handlers and teach basketball, not street ball.
I have always admired President Bush–especially after seeing his response to the 9/11 attacks and his relentless determination to protect our country. I think he’s an inspiring man. And I especially respect him for sticking to his guns when everyone seemed against him during this whole war in the middle east (even though I didn’t agree with how it was all handled and is still being handled.) He has the kind of character all leaders need.
I enjoyed his speech last night and he always motivates me, similar to the Bear.
Another good movie from the 80’s that I look forward to seeing (and this is real, unlike the Thundercats movie). But it won’t be the same if they don’t have the Lehi Roller Mills.
Fans like this will be portrayed in the new movie about Alabama football. Hopefully they don’t include the Sugar Bowl loss to Utah. More info on link below.

After becoming a big fan two years ago, I gladly welcomed the new season of 24 tonight, after missing all of last year due to the writers strike. Now Monday nights have good TV again.
Jack, do whatever it takes to protect our country!
This guy is impressive. He can hit anything with a simple homemade slingshot and rock. Thanks for sending Dobbs.
I’ve always heard of singing telegrams, but never experienced one first hand. My lovely wife decided to send me one at work today for my birthday. Fortunately not many people were around. And fortunately it’s not easy to just walk in to my work office becaue of security. I appreciate her doing that though and really appreciate the homemade biscuits and gravy she fixed this morning for breakfast. I can now only dream about the Nelson cake for dinner tonight.
By the way, this is Mrs. Twinkle who sang to me.
I wish Bama would hire me as their “bring you down to earth coach” because I would have had them believing that they better prepare more for Utah than any other team they’d played this season. I am positive and hopeful, but also a realist.
I have been looking forward to the Sugar Bowl since it was announced and hate to see football season go, but after last night’s mauling, I’m left dazed and confused–but not completely because I always try to keep my expectations somewhat low for bama.
I’ve said all along that Utah was a great team and could beat us. Very few believed me. Well, there are no excuses for what happened last night. Yes, we would have done better with Andre Smith, but the Tide wasn’t focused. They lacked intensity and clearly didn’t take Utah seriously. I believe that no matter who you play, you must take them seriously (unless we’re playing a high school team). We all know I’m a huge, loyal, Alabama fan, but I feel after last night that Utah can now say “screw all you who thought we didn’t deserve to be here and play with the big boys.” I know I’d feel that way.
We played horribly, and Utah played almost flawlessly. Congrats to all my friends and family who are Utah fans. And I hope Alabama players and coaches ache over this one until spring practice because they didn’t show us anything last night (except for a great punt return by Arenas) and let a lot of people down. Roll Tide!
Flying Men
I am one of those that has always been intrigued by flying, whether by plane, jump, or some other way. This video will make you feel like a kid again just by watching. I’d love to take part in this. But I don’t think I’d ever get as close to the cliff walls and roads as some here did. You’ll be amazed by this link, if it’s real anyway.
