Jumbo Package: Will Alabama football fans pack Bryant Denny on Saturday?
Get the latest Crimson Tide news and notes.
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama had their final practice of the spring before the spring game yesterday. Not much information was gained, but it appears that a couple of starters will be missing on Saturday.
Fair or not, there will be occasions when Kalen DeBoer is compared to Nick Saban. This may be the first.
I hope that item is packed.
DeBoer has a regular news conference set for today, and you can guarantee there will be questions about the Tybo Rogers rape allegations.
DeBoer will be questioned because there are emails saying that Rogers shouldn’t travel with the team to the Pac 12 title game on 12/1, but reports haven’t mentioned any internal communication between then and 12/15, when Rogers was allowed to return to the Washington football team. The correct answer would be that the ICA (Intercollegiate Athletics office cited above) determined that Rogers should retain his spot on the team at that stage, based on the information they had at the time. The wrong answer would be that no further guidance from the ICA was handed down and DeBoer simply decided to let Rogers play. Anything resembling a “no comment” is going to create a circus that no one wants.
Kris Parker has decided to transfer from Alabama’s basketball team following a redshirt season.
Last, Goodbread also looked back on his favorite games from the Saban era.
The 2017 national title game came in second, and I think this is the correct order. Nothing was more satisfying as a fan than watching Alabama dismantle the Tim Tebow led Florida team that had been viewed as invincible. That game was a Saban masterpiece.
That’s about it for now. Have a great day.
Roll Tide.
