Days 'til the A-Day Game: 8 Days 'til Season Kickoff: 141
Looks like the football team is having the same problem the basketball team had. Coach Saban has already told us "it doesn't take any ability to have effort..." God help those kids that are slacking, because they won't last long.
There's more discussion about the running back race. Coffee and Terry Grant both tell us about how the first hit is always the hardest after an injury like they both had last year.
Coach Saban defends his media lockdown and lets everyone know that he DOES want to have a good relationship with the media, but his first goal is to win games and rebuild the program at Alabama.
Rule changes that went into effect last year are going back to how they used to be - the clock will stop on possession changes, and the clock will not start on kickoffs until the opposing team touches the ball. The NCAA decided it wanted more plays in games.
