Football 🏈 Tony's takes: Alabama gets new anthem during awkward brunch in Bryant-Denny

Close your eyes for a second and transport yourself back to Saturday afternoon. No. 7 Alabama is trailing South Carolina 19-14 with 1:27 left in the third quarter. The Crimson Tide is preparing for what figures to be a crucial drive with its season slowly slipping away. Tide fans rustle anxiously in their seats. Then, Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten” comes blaring from the speakers.

The bubbly early 2000s pop hit was an interesting choice for the situation. But in a way, it was perfectly emblematic of a weird brunch date inside Bryant-Denny Stadium as Alabama narrowly avoided a second straight embarrassing defeat in a 27-25 victory over South Carolina.

Football 🏈 How 'Sharks' have become a big part of Alabama's offense

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — There’s a new nickname among Alabama’s position groups.

The Crimson Tide already has a few unique position names on defense, including the Bandit (strongside defensive end), Wolf (weakside edge rusher) and Husky (slot defensive back). Position designations on offense are more traditional. However, the Tide’s receivers refer to themselves as “takers.”

Recently a new designation surfaced, as C.J. Dippre announced that the tight ends call themselves the sharks. The nickname has been going around for a while now. However, unlike other positional terms, it has more to do with the unit’s actions off the field rather than on it.


“We’ve got a couple of guys that like to play some poker, so just kind of poker sharks,” tight end Robbie Ouzts said. “But at the same time, we kind of swim together is what we like to say. It’s kind of more of a mentality thing.”
