Alabama Beat Auburn Today In Basketball!

Alabama Crimson Tide — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:05:26 +0000

The Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team get sweet revenge today as they defeated the Auburn Tigers 73-61 in gaining its first back-to-back SEC wins since last year. Coach Nick Saban accepted the Iron Bowl trophy for beating the "University of auburn" (uncapitalized on purpose).

Listen to the video as the crowd of 15,383 roared out the Rammer Jammer tune following a big win for coach Anthony Grant! Coleman Coliseum was packed and the crowd was juiced.

Not only that, the players were also pumped up about new uniforms that read just "BAMA" on the front as well as gray (elephant colored) undershirts. They looked good not only in uniform but also in play.

Hopefully this will be a good omen of things to come in the SEC basketball tournament. I'd like to see the Crimson Tide make a run and make it to March madness once again.

Roll Tide Roll in basketball!

Alabama A-Day Will Be Televised on ESPN!

Alabama Crimson Tide — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:35:02 +0000

For those of you that didn't know already, Alabama is going to be televised on ESPN on it's A-day spring practice game, April 17. Kick off is set to that Bryant Denny Stadium begin at 2 PM. Don't let the fact that the game is on television keep you from coming out to Tuscaloosa for a chance to get a sneak peak at the 2010 Crimson Tide!

I'd love to see Alabama get another record crowd like the 92,138 fancy she showed up for Nick Saban's first spring game in 2007. Let's pack The house everybody... and not just sit at home and watch it on TV! We need to show the recruits from around the nation who is back on top!

We have a fan base that can rock the house in Tuscaloosa and it is possible that what you will be able to see the unveiling of the Nick Saban statue! That is it is done on schedule. Spring practice begins next Friday, March 12. Following this first initial orientation day, the team will take a week off during spring break before returning to the field on March 22.

Saban at the national championship celebration, in January, expressed his profound appreciation for the fans who come to the annual A-Day game every year.

“It starts with our fans, the supporters and all the alumni who make the University of Alabama tradition what it is. I can't thank you as fans enough for the great support that you've given this team all year long... I knew, when I walked out that tunnel right over there, three springs ago, and there were 92,000 people in this stadium for a spring game, that your positive energy was going to allow us to exceed the highest expectations and goals that we all need to have.”

I agree Coach Saban! I'm ready to Rock -N- Roll Tide again!

Again... don't forget... April 17, be there or be square!
