Oh yes, my Crimson Tide brethren. We are just days away from the start of Fall practice where we can finally put aside the navel-gazing and nostalgia and begin following our team's 2010 campaign in earnest. Of course these things will still occur over the next month as we await the kick off of the season opener against San Jose State but they'll be the sideshow. The main event is preparing to start and we're more than ready.
So here's the roundup of the news from over the past few days. There are prognostications, player features and all kinds of frothy goodness ready for your perusal. The DePriest signing and the Daniel Moore lawsuit also got a bit of attention as well. So get a cup of coffee and get reading.
