Tide's Mark Ingram: 'I'll be ready for Saturday, most definitely.'

Ingram2 VT AP ALcom.jpg(AP photo)Alabama tailback Mark Ingram was practicing normally during the media's viewing period today. For what it's worth, Ingram was not wearing a black, no-contact jersey because of the left hip pointer suffered last week.
Neither was linebacker Cory Reamer (hamstring) or tailback Terry Grant (abdominal strain).
(But I really wouldn't put much stock in that. Alabama doesn't hit a whole lot on Monday, and this team has been known to break out the black jerseys after the media leaves the scene. If Nick Saban said that Ingram won't have contact, you can bank on that being the case).
In any event, Ingram said today the hip is "good."
"I just kind of bruised it in the game, but it's getting better every day," Ingram said. "So I'll be ready for Saturday, most definitely."
Despite rumors swirling around that Ingram may have been banged up prior to Friday's victory at Alabama (during which he rushed for only 30 yards on 16 attempts), Ingram shrugged that topic off in similar fashion.
"I'm doing great," Ingram said. "My body feels great. I feel real good, to be honest with you."
So there you go ...

well finally it's not a Tennesse player arrested. 
Florida's Dunlap arrested, charged with DUI
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Top-ranked Florida could be without one of its best pass rushers against No. 2 Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game.
Defensive end Carlos Dunlap was arrested early Tuesday and charged with driving under the influence, just days before the biggest game of Florida's season.
"We are aware of the incident and are currently gathering more information," coach Urban Meyer said in a statement released by the school.
Meyer was expected to address the situation in more detail after practice Tuesday.
Dunlap, a junior from North Charleston, S.C., was released Tuesday morning on his own recognizance after his initial appearance at the Alachua County Jail. He was arrested at 3:25 a.m.
According to Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg, an officer was dispatched to check out reports of a reckless driver near campus. When the officer spotted the car stopped at an intersection, he noticed the red 2000 Chrysler was not moving through several green lights.
The officer found Dunlap slumped over and asleep at the wheel. The officer woke up Dunlap through a cracked window, but he "would only open his eyes momentarily and then fall back asleep," Kameg said.
The officer unlocked the door, put the car in park and turned off the ignition. Dunlap got out and "was very groggy and had difficulty speaking and listening to instructions," Kameg said.
According to police, Dunlap had watery and bloodshot eyes, and there was a smell of alcohol. Dunlap failed a field sobriety test, refused a breath test and was booked.
Dunlap, the defensive MVP of last season's Bowl Championship Series national title game, has started every game this season for the defending champs. He has 35 tackles and is tied for the team lead with seven sacks heading into Saturday's SEC title game.

Dunlap to miss SEC championship game
By Mark Schlabach
ESPN.com
Florida Gators starting defensive end Carlos Dunlap was arrested and charged with driving under the influence early Tuesday morning in Gainesville.
Florida coach Urban Meyer announced after practice Tuesday evening that Dunlap has been suspended indefinitely from the team and will not play for the No. 1 Gators against No. 2 Alabama for the SEC Championship on Saturday in Atlanta's Georgia Dome.
Meyer says he is "stunned" by Dunlap's actions.
"Carlos obviously made a very poor decision," Meyer said. "I have not spoke to him or his family yet. He's not going to play. But I want to visit with him and his family first and go from there."
Meyer acknowledged that the situation was a distraction as his team prepares for a matchup that has national championship implications. But he also said his players might be able to overcome it, much like they did flulike symptoms and linebacker Brandon Spikes' suspension for dirty play.
"We've had distraction after distraction," Meyer said. "This is a rather serious one, obviously, so it is a distraction. Sometimes this team's found ways to get a little tighter in distractions. We've had a few of them this year."
Dunlap, a junior from North Charleston, S.C., was arrested at 3:25 a.m. near campus and was booked into the jail at 5:52 a.m., Gainesville Police Department spokesman Lt. Keith Kameg said.
He was released on his own recognizance about six hours later during his initial appearance at the Alachua County Jail. Judge Mary Day Coker admonished Dunlap for underage drinking, and said he cannot possess alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription drugs that are not prescribed for him.
He was told not to drive a motor vehicle without a license, and if caught driving without a license, he would violate the terms of his release. The judge released Dunlap without bond because he has no prior adjudications and no failures to appear in court.
Wearing a jail-issued, green-and-white striped jumpsuit, Dunlap spoke softly when asked questions and always replied "Yes, ma'am," to the judge.
"We are aware of the incident and are currently gathering more information," Florida athletics spokesman Steve McClain said Tuesday morning.
Kameg said officers responded to a reckless driving complaint and found Dunlap's 2000 Chrysler stopped at a traffic light near the 200 block of W. 34th Street.
Kameg said officers found Dunlap's car stopped at a green light.
"They approached the car and found the suspect slumped over in the driver's seat," Kameg said. "He appeared to be asleep. The car's windows were cracked so they attempted to wake him up. They talked to him and he would only open his eyes for a few seconds and then fall back asleep."
Kameg said officers were able to unlock the car and turn off the ignition. Kameg said officers reported that Dunlap "had trouble listening to instructions." He was given a field sobriety test and performed "poorly," according to Kameg. He refused to take a Breathalyzer at the scene, Kameg said.
Dunlap, a 6-foot-6, 290-pound defensive end who is considered a potential first-round draft choice if he leaves Florida after this season, has 35 tackles, including 8½ tackles for loss, and is tied for the team lead with seven sacks. He was named MVP of the 2009 FedEx BCS National Championship Game, in which the Gators defeated Oklahoma 24-14 to win their second BCS title in three seasons.

Well Mike,
The cards aren't all stacked in the Gator's favor now. Will this give your Tide the edge it so desperately needs to overcome us? We'll see!
