I don't get that the TV schedule and the powers that be put our game with Texas in a prime-time slot and not on ABC

Meanwhile our game with South Florida is on ABC

Sorry if I sound spoiled but I really don't get it

Pretty sure USF is ABC because the American has a TV deal that includes ABC and we don't (for 2023 - changes in 2024). And the game is at their place.

They are 13.5 point underdogs to Western Kentucky so I don’t think they are expected to be very good either. Matt Grothe ain’t walking through that door

Coach Saban’s SEC Media Days Press Conference


Loved this. It's not often, but I sometimes forget just how much of a living legend Saban is. Then I hear the man speak, and it reminds me right away that the guy still lives and breathes football. I truly believe he will coach as long as he's physically and mentally able to do so up to his standard, and not a moment sooner.

Crimson Tide Earns 16 Spots on Preseason All-SEC Football Teams

Alabama was selected to win the SEC West, finish second overall in the conference

NASHVILLE – The University of Alabama football team earned 16 spots on the Preseason All-SEC Team, the league office announced on Friday morning. In addition, the Crimson Tide was selected to win the Western Division and finish second overall in the league, according to media members in attendance at SEC Media Days this past week.

Alabama represented six spots across the first teams, including one on offense, two on defense and three specialists. The Tide had seven players earn a spot on the second team with four on offense and three on defense, while three players were tabbed as third-teamers including one on offense and two defenders.

First Team

Offense
OL – JC Latham

Defense
LB – Dallas Turner
DB – Kool-Aid McKinstry

Special Teams
PK – Will Reichard
LS – Kneeland Hibbett
RS – Kool-Aid McKinstry

Second Team

Offense
RB – Jase McClellan
WR – Ja'Corey Brooks
OL – Tyler Booker
C – Seth McLaughlin

Defense
DL – Jaheim Oatis | Justin Eboigbe
DB – Malachi Moore

Third Team

Offense
WR – Jermaine Burton

Defense
DL – Tim Smith
LB – Chris Braswell

Alabama was selected to win the Western Division with 1,899 total points and received the second-most votes to finish as SEC champions at 165. Only nine times since 1992 (31 years) has the predicted champion prior to the season at SEC Media Days proceeded to win the SEC Championship Game.

The Crimson Tide enters the 2023 campaign having won a league-leading 29 SEC Championships in program history, including seven of the last 11 conference titles. Alabama is scheduled to open the 2023 campaign with Middle Tennessee on Sept. 2 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game is set for a 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff and will air on the SEC Network.

Caleb Downs is going to change this defense.

Call me crazy, but a safety with the ability to keep the big plays in front of him is something we’ve lacked recently.

Caleb will keep some important scores off the board for our defense.

I’d like to see him play against college athletes in real competition a bit before making that jump. You are correct that Alabama has lacked a playmaker at safety since Minkah declared for the draft.

Not entirely Bama football related but Bo Nix is still hung up on Bama even after being at Oregon for about a year and a half:

True, but it makes me feel better that he was a part of a losing record during his time at AU against us

I always felt you had two types of Bugger Eaters, the kind you say, Bless your heart” to, and the kind you just throat punch. Nix is the latter.

Anybody have any idea how number 1 edge rusher Keon Keeley is advancing? Did he early enroll? Are things proceeding according to plan?

I think you saw 9:04 pm from last night and thought it was this morning. I did preach this morning. 10:30 am.
