At the football team's banquet tonight, the 2008 permanent captains were announced by Coach Saban. Voted on by their teammates, they were Antoine Caldwell, Rashad Johnson, and John Parker Wilson. This is the second time Caldwell and Johnson have been dubbed with this honor, and before the year only six players in Alabama football history had been given the honor twice.

Sufficed to say, all three are well deserving of the honor, and they should (and will) rightly go down as playing a critical role in restoring Alabama football, even if they will ultimately move on without a national championship ring.
