What they're saying nationally about Alabama at SEC Media Days

However, some of the players don't seem to care what much of the media thinks and only listen to head coach Nick Saban's opinion on the situation in Tuscaloosa.
That initiated a brief and somewhat heated debate between Finebaum, a radio show host and regular on the SEC Network, and Saban, who added, "Do we condone the behavior? No", Saban said. "But you're innocent until you're proven guilty in this country regardless if you get convicted in the media or not, which is what you're doing". "I'm not going to convict him in public". "And you [Finebaum] said I was going to criticized by you, and the public, and the media, because I'm not going to suspend them". But I mean the tailgating down there is incredible, everybody loves it down there and the game being down there but it's not really a home game for us. "That's the end of the conversation".
Now that Saban has made his decision, the media has stepped in to question it. And it led to a feisty confrontation between Saban and the High Priest of SEC Media, Paul Finebaum. "I just played hard all the time".
Odom said he had a long talk with Rhoades on Tuesday night and learned he was taking the Baylor job.
"This year I think fans do expect a lot, you could see that from our spring game, 93,000 and probably more", Bulldogs tight end Jeb Blazevich said. "It's the way we do things".
But that's not what stood out to Tide coach Nick Saban about Howard's junior season. "But, I think, not understanding how this guy feels over here and how this guy feels over here is what creates this fear that has created a lot of bad judgment, I think, and maybe contributed to some of these problems". "He's definitely great and I'm excited he has the opportunity to coach".
So no, coach Saban doesn't owe it to anyone to explain how he disciplined those players, but for the sake of Cam Robinson's growth as a man, I hope he was disciplined and understands the potential legal trouble he's avoided.
"They're brother and sister". According to ESPN, an Alabama official said the two were forced to undergo a slew of tasks as punishment. "That's basically what we are going to do". "He hasn't slowed down a bit, I promise you that". "They are the same guys every day".
That's because Baylor's new athletic director is Mack Rhoades, who announced his resignation as Missouri's athletic director Wednesday a few minutes before Odom spoke to reporters. "Watching film - extra film - with him", Jackson said. "If we cut back on the mental mistakes and the errors, I feel like we'll have success against them". Allen is expected to available for the start of the season. Plus, the quarterback competition could well carry over into the season for a third straight year.
"Let's hope so. Dobbs is my boy", UT linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin said. Bielema always tends to be one of the most electric speakers in Hoover, and he brought along with him Deatrich Wise, Jeremy Sprinkle, and Brooks Ellis.
"I'll be happy with a 10-win season". Over time, they have been able to get away with some things that other schools can not. "The awards and accolades will come if you go out and compete and try to be the best quarterback you can be for Tennessee".
