Iā€™ve kept the new coffee shop on 15th Street in business this past week. Alabamaā€™s new morning practices have been a shock to the system for me and my usual night-owl routine.

While players have focused on remaining hydrated during the first week of preseason camp, Iā€™ve been pumping my body with as much caffeine as it can handle. At $6 a pop, itā€™s a race to see whether my kidneys or wallet will give out first.

In all seriousness, I canā€™t complain about Alabamaā€™s new preseason policies. While I might prefer Nick Sabanā€™s practice times over Kalen DeBoerā€™s, the access under the Tideā€™s new regime is far more favorable than it was previously.

In todayā€™s column, Iā€™m emptying the Week 1 notebook to provide 10 things that have stood out to me during camp.
