PrintThe Crimson Tide had their eighth practice of the fall yesterday and Coach Saban decided the guys deserved a little comfort for the occasion -- he moved the proceedings indoors.
"It was kind of an unexpected bone that Coach Saban threw us," junior center William Vlachos said. "That hasn't happened often, if ever as far as I can remember." Keep 'em thinkin' coach.

As we near the end of the first week of practice one of the big "storylines" starting to develop in relation to the 2010 Crimson Tide is that the offense will be hella good. This, for some reason, seems to shock people. A couple of folks are starting to look under the hood and see what makes the motor run or might make it stop.

Emory Bellard's grandson
was one of my Lieutenants and I got to meet his grandfather at an Army function. I’ll be praying for the entire Bellard family.
Didn't realize before that we share
a common opponent with BSU (SJSU). I’m sure much will be made of that meaningless game.
Take it from someone who has seen the ravages of
Alzheimer’s first hand. It is no way to go. I didn’t know that Mal Moore was dealing with something like this in his personal life, and my heart goes out to him for it.
The sorry thing about Alzheimer’s is that it takes away all of the dignity you have, all of the good memories, it takes everything away. In many ways, death is a gift from God in a situation like this.
I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy.
a very close friend to our family...
went through this and opted for the worst possible solution. that mal moore went through the pressure of the job during the probation period and this is a greater testament to his toughness than anything he ever did as a player or coach under bryant.
