Alabama Football Just Feels a Bit Different Under DeBoer - What is New? 

I agree with that but at the end of the day I think if you are well conditioned then the time which practice and run throughs happen may not matter. After all it’s still insanely hot in the summer and I think the practice piece was referring to during the season

Yes sir that's/ the reason some of those championship teams just wore people down

I agree with OP, but we gotta let DeBoer run his program. Both philosophies can win.

I lived in Las Colinas/Irving for 2 years before moving back to Alabama and live in TTown now. Appreciate the support.

Hex Head Art!

Couldn’t agree more. The energy is 100% different and seems that the players are feeding off of that. I think DeBoer has passed the first test of recruiting with flying colors and doesn’t seem to be stopping there.

Just what I have noticed and heard around town

Thank you! Cheers!

Roll Tide!

I agree and I think summer conditioning and such will get them ready that fall morning practices will be sufficient

Roll Tide!

I agree whole heartedly. But from everything I have seen DeBoer knows what’s expected of him and is building and doing things his way to achieve those goals

@BarnesonBama He completely understands the pressure, the expectations and, the overall situation he's getting into. If anything, I like how he's embraced it and met it head-on so far. I'm more directly addressing the "outside noise" and the myopic and unrealistic expectations that emanate from the fanbase and boosters. Demands that will reveal their ugly face and that will accompany any early season setbacks or losses. While I believe DeBoer is capable of maintaining Alabama as a Top 5 program overall, the expectation that he does so immediately, without any bumps in the road, might be too much to ask right away. Saban's dominant tenor in Tuscaloosa has virtually created a no-win situation for DeBoer, especially in the short-term! We will see!

Oh I 100% agree as that was something even Saban himself wasn’t immune to. Think of the 1 point win over Ark when Saban ripped into fans after the game saying some walked out looking like we had lost. The expectations of this place are sky high and have always been that way

Absolutely. But what a player is willing to deal with is tied to the results they see and Saban got results

sure

Thats a take I guess.

Says the tattoo 😭

Don’t delete this comment.. we will revisit at the end of the season.
