Saban on Ingram: 'I think he'll be fine'

One of the myriad subplots that will get beaten and/or run into the ground in the days leading up to The Game to End All Games -- otherwise known as the SEC championship game -- is the status of Mark Ingram's hip.

The Alabama running back and Heisman contender injured said hip during the Tide's win over Auburn, and the injury has some concerned about his availability for The Game to End All Games.

At least for now, though, it looks as if the Tide is cautiously optimistic that he will be healthy and available for the right to represent God and all that's good in The Game to End All Games.

"I think he'll be fine," head coach Nick Saban said today. "We don't think he has a significant problem. I think those things are a little bit painful, especially when you first get them. It was late in the game when it happened. He just never really had an opportunity to go back in. We'll see more tomorrow and how he moves around in practice, but we feel like he'll be fine for the game."

    Ingram may become Wally Pip. Richardson has more pysical skills anyway. I still think Ingram has a good shot at the Heisman if he plays well and Bama wins Saturday.

    Ochocinco
    Levi Johnston
    Tony Romo
    Jessica Simpson
    Terrell Owens

    Jerry Jones
