Nate Oats on Coach K wanting to delay play due to COVID-19: “Let me ask you a question. Do you think Coach K would be saying that if he hadn’t lost those two non-conference games at home?”
I’ll say it. If all you had to do was beat Indiana and Northwestern and win four other games against worse teams than that, the SEC would easily have four unbeaten teams.

A game between warriors.
The great Derrick Henry. The great Alvin Kamara.
Their friend and former teammate Altee Tenpenny passed away four days earlier.
Rivalries are big.
Football is big.
Life is so much bigger.

Saban on Jalen: “It’s unprecedented...He has always put the team first. Jalen is going to be a more successful person in his life because of what he has been through this year.”
Saban on Alabama’s WR corps: “Not a single guy ever showed any sign of being selfish. They root for each other. That’s very unusual at this position (because) guys usually want the ball...it was the most fun group to coach that we’ve ever had.”
For the first time in history, a tornado warning has been issued for a likely *fire tornado*.
These are not "firewhirls." This is a rotating smoke plume being ingested into a pyrocumulonimbus cloud that could produce a bonafide fire-induced tornado.
Tornadic wind speeds.
It seems like I have written 125,000 words on
@AlabamaFTBL
since Monday but an oversight: Chris Owens stepped in to start 2 playoff games (with some doubters) and OL didn’t miss a beat. Should have mentioned Chris sooner.
Saw Malachi Moore play at Thompson and was like “well, yeah, maybe...” which is why Nick Saban makes $9 million a year and I’m about to pocket an extra halftime hot dog for tomorrow’s lunch.
Oklahoma responding to its annual CFP invitation like the buddy you invite to your NYE party every year even though you know he’ll never make it to midnight before he starts throwing up on the carpet.
Saban: "To me this team accomplished more than almost any team. No disrespect to other teams we had but this team won 11 SEC games. No other team has done that. Won the SEC and went undefeated in the SEC and then they beat two great teams in the playoffs with no break."
Derrick Henry among the Alabama players getting their diploma this weekend, which is great because remember that time he was about to get suspended in 8th grade until Dad came to the principal’s office and straightened it out...
TBH, the return of Dylan Moses, DeVonta Smith and Alex Leatherwood is a pretty solid outcome for
@AlabamaFTBL
relative to some years’ junior decisions.
Luke’s mom,
@irbransmom
shared stories with
@TalkTidal
tonight. She also said that
@ArkRazorbacks
had purchased a floral arrangement for Luke’s funeral and included enough overage in the payment to cover all the flowers for the service.
One thing about Tua is that he is sincere. If he says he is thinking it over, he’s thinking it over. Also,
@tuamann
didn’t have to take the time for an interview and he did, which was very kind.
With the official announcement made: Avery Johnson
@coachavery6
was never anything other than a true professional in any interaction we had. He ran a program that was a model of media accessibility. Tough business, but I wish he and his family well.

jr. ILB Dylan Moses announces he’s forgoing early entry in the NFL and returning to

next season. Moses, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury 2 weeks before the start of the regular season, will be a redshirt junior in 2020.
Nick Saban on
@AlabamaMBB
: “You never want to waste a failing so you go back and try to improve. But you also have to realize what you accomplished. Our team competed hard all year long and I was very proud of that.”
Saturday’s win over LSU raised Nick Saban’s coaching record while ranked No. 1 (AP) to 75-8. No other coach has appeared in more than 45 games while ranked No. 1.
Alabama head football coach Nick Saban and athletic director Greg Byrne have tested positive for COVID-19, per UA. Saban directed
@alaftbl
practice from home today.
Nick asked about scheduling New Mexico State and is miffed.
“Why don’t you start calling around and get somebody to play us? We’ll play anybody you get to play us.”
