A Day game is on the SEC Network currently.

It was boring enough the first time.

 Embarrassed Lips Sealed

Not from where I was sitting.  Cool

I've been to plenty of A-Day games.  I'm usually ready to leave early in the 3rd quarter.  I haven't heard the attendance projection, but the crowd looked sparse.  Relatively speaking, of course.  Pre-2007, 20-35k was the norm.

I noticed the crowd on TV too and attributed it to the weather.

Exactly.  Despite a forecast of 20% chance of rain after 8am, it rained like helll until about 9:15.  I'm betting a lot of folks went home or stayed home.

For sure. It stormed most of the morning, complete with thunder and lightning. Plus it was cold up until about an hour before game time. No doubt it kept the attendance down.

We sent a lot of sandwiches to the stadium and didn’t sell many of them. Cry

Sorry to hear that, Phil. I meant to ask you before the game where you were going to be. I would have bought some.

I wasn’t at BDS. We prepare the sandwiches at the store and send them to stadium. We sent about half as many as we sent for games last Fall and don’t think we sold even half of those. We saw maybe a few dozen people in Bama gear in the store after the game, where after real games we’d have the dining room and drive-thru packed out for two hours or more after. Without watching the game or hearing attendance numbers Oncould tell that no one was there.

I can tell you they weren't sold at the concession stand near our seats. The only thing they had resembling a sandwich was a hotdog.

THE ALABAMA FACTOR:

Click here for link

“The number-one goal and objective for the spring is we have to re-establish the Alabama factor,” Coach Saban said following the A-Day Game.

Those who hadn’t been around the Crimson Tide coach for long were a little surprised by the statement.

“It isn’t a slogan,” he said while bristling at the suggestion during a different spring press conference. “I didn’t come up with it. It’s been who I am for the last 27-some years. It’s been who we are ever since we’ve been here. You could ask someone who played on the first, second team here that went 12-0 and lost in the SEC Championship Game and they could recite and tell you exactly what that is. So it’s not a slogan. It’s really what the program’s built on.”

So what exactly is it?

Ask a young player and you might not get much of an answer.

Relentless pursuit of excellence would be an oversimplification, especially when trying to pinpoint an intangible ideal as a guiding principle.

Junior right tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. probably had the best answer this spring:

“Commitment, discipline, effort, toughness, pride and then developing yourself to be relentless for 60 minutes in the ballgame” ...

If the other 84 buy into that, we may have something this year.

Yeah, 84 others.
In case you missed it, QB Layne Hatcher transferred to Arkansas State.  That got us to the 85 limit.

Maybe his parents paid $500k to get him into Bama as a QB.

I was looking at that.  Looks like Layne Hatcher committed to Arkansas State last year but received a late invite from Bama, around the time Jalen's dad was talking smack about Jalen leaving, which would have left Bama with two QBs in Tua and M.Jones.  Before the Bama invite, Layne had committed to Arky State, which is where he is transferring.  I think it might have been a one year deal, and something he couldn't pass up.  He redshirted last year at Bama, so he has all 4 years of eligibility at Arky St.  Click here for link

I may very well be wrong.  Probably a poor assumption that he wasn't on scholarship.  1,000 apologies, Chech.

No problem.

I can't remember but was Hatcher a left-handed QB also? RTR!
