Major Ogilvie, Eddie Lacy

“It’s definitely surreal,” Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor said of seeing himself in the game. “I grew up playing College Football on the Xbox 360. To have a game right now with me in it, my name, number, everything. It has my stats and that I’m from Des Moines, Iowa. To be able to represent my city is a really cool experience.”

Rumors swirling about 2025 5 star PG Jasper Johnson to Bama. I know we have competition from North Carolina and Kentucky, but Nate Oats and staff have done a great job recruiting him. Oats has had success recruiting against NC and KY without Calipari remains to be seen.

Was thrilled to read the SEC will not be handing out penalties for razing Texas!

They are in a big boy league now — Deal with it!

What is the big deal with this place? I went today for the very first time. It’s extremely crowded, everybody’s in everybody’s way and I really just don’t get it. It looked like to me that they just had more of everything. They had quite a few gifts, knickknacks if you’ll call it that much like what you’d find in Bass Pro shops. You had a tremendous amount of candies and things like that there’s an area in the middle where they’re preparing barbecue sandwiches and then there’s another area where they’re making glazed donuts and nuts. And I heard somebody comment about the brisket sandwich, so I tried one. I’ve had worse sandwiches but I’ve had a lot better brisket than that. I don’t know, unless my kids wanna stop there, I’ll probably won’t be visiting very often.

Adams comes to Tuscaloosa with over a decade worth of coaching in the NBA as an assistant coach. Most recently, Adams served as an assistant coach with the Detroit Pistons during the 2023-24 season.

What They Are Saying About Brian Adams

“Brian is a high character, loyal, Roll Tide type dude. He is loyal and will make the Crimson Tide Nation proud with his ability to relate to and elevate the young men who hoop for Alabama.” – Monty Williams, Former Detroit Pistons and Phoenix Suns Head Coach

“I am very excited for Brian and the University of Alabama. Brian is the perfect fit for the team and Nate’s staff. He has an incredible defensive mind on top of having high character and being a hard worker. Roll Tide.” – Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach Doc Rivers

“This is a very special honor,” Saban via a Zoom call during the board of trustees meeting. “I don’t think there could be anything that honors the hard work and the example that we tried to set for our community, our university and our program and all the players in it as to what you all have decided to do here today. Terry and I the utmost gratitude for this great legacy type of award by naming the field for us. I can’t tell you how honored and how much appreciation we have for that.”

Jalston Fowler

43 days until kickoff. Name the former Alabama players to wear #43.

I was thinking who I would name, but we can debate the greatest plays in Bama history, and there were many, but there is one play in the last 40 years that changed college football and one player

Antonio Langham, the play that changed College Football.

44 days until kickoff. Name the Bama players to wear jersey #44

Gary O’Steen

Gary O'Steen was the star of Coach Bryant's first win at Alabama, which is the game that I fell in love with Alabama. That was my first Alabama football game as an eight year old. He returned a punt 44 yards and caught a 61-yard pass for a touchdowns in a 29-6 victory over Furman, the first of Bryant’s 232 wins at Alabama.

I'll have updates on SEC Media Days here

#1 overall player AJ Dybansta is expected to cut his list to 7 at the end of the month.

Alabama will make his list and I think they are in the top 3 for him currently. The reason? Preston Murphy. He coached Dybansta in AAU for multiple years and they have a great relationship. I’ve been told he will visit Alabama this fall on a football weekend.

Hello - I created a pre season contest where a winner or winners could win or split $1 Million.

The contest is simple: Pick the 12 teams you think will enter the playoffs this year and the National Champion and win $1 Million or if multiple winners the million is split equally.

The contest website is HERE.

Feel free to share the link (www.jansanity25.com) with any college football fans you know.

Thanks

Nick Saban shared a cool story about how Julio Jones once corrected a player while informing him of Alabama's standard.

I know there have been health problems and Milso can’t see, but it would be nice if they could come back. Does anyone have an update.

So much for an Alabama bias.

In his first SEC Media Days as part of ESPN’s broadcast team, Nick Saban isn’t showing any favoritism for his former team. In fact, the legendary head coach doesn’t even have the Crimson Tide in this year’s SEC Championship Game.
