Me too man. Only a few more weeks (31 days I think) until the first Canadian tour game.

Had this thought because of the double header with UAH. What would y'all think of a one day college basketball event in Alabama during mid to late December? In other words have teams from all over the state play in one arena on a Saturday before conference play and the good bowl games start.

So the schedule would look something like this:

Morning Session
11:00
Alabama A&M vs UAH

1:15
Alabama State vs Samford

3:30
South Alabama vs Jacksonville State

Night Session
6:00
Auburn vs Troy

8:30
Alabama vs UAB

It could be a good way to generate some buzz for basketball after football essentially is over, or it could bomb. Just a thought for a slow period news wise.

Will Richardson on Bama:

quote:

“Yasir Rosemond was the one recruiting me at Georgia and he stayed on me at Alabama. They have a good coaching staff. I’ve talked to coach Avery [Johnson] a few times. It’s a pretty cool staff. That’s going to be one of the visits I take after July.”

The U19 USA team lost to Canada by 12. RJ Barrett for Canada is a stud and only 17.

I don't think it would work because a lot of smaller schools are fans of the larger school... Like myself UAH/UA and I'm guessing a lot others may have went to multiple state schools.

I think would be better if it was Alabama schools vs out of state teams and rotate 4 other participants yearly to go with Alabama and AU, who would be yearly.

UAH vs UNC Pembroke
Troy vs FGCU
South AL vs Miss St
Jacksonville St vs Tulane
AU vs Texas
Bama vs Florida St

Oklahoma is going on a foreign tour like we are and they're letting the fans attend their 10 extra practices. I wish Bama would decide to let the fans go to at least one practice

Moore. A guy his size who can bring it up would be nice. Not to mention the pub we would get for getting him.

Moore. He's a great player and a 5-star on some sites. People take notice when a school like Bama signs 5-stars.

28 days until the first Canadian tour game (exactly 4 weeks from today)! It's sooooo close! Can't believe Collin Sexton and John Petty are BOTH about to suit up for the Tide! Great year ahead of us. RTR!

I'm ready to see us go small and see how fast the offense will play.
