• The vibes are good in Houston Roughnecks training camp. The Roughnecks are one of the teams participating in the United Football League.

The vibes in the #Roughnecks camp just feel like a winning atmosphere. The coaching staff have put together a talented, but most importantly cohesive roster for camp.

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

Feb. 29, 2020: The Alabama baseball team defeated Harvard 10-5 at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. One of those Harvard players would go on to become an instrumental part of the Crimson Tide's 2023 playoff run. His name? Tommy Seidl. He hit a home run that day. 

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“I don't know about the rest of you, but I know one thing. Ole thirty-four will be after them. He'll be after their asses!" – Assistant coach Hank Crisp during a locker room speech while referring to player Paul Bryant, who had a broken leg. “I had no intention of playing,” Bryant said.

We'll Leave You with This:

Proud of these two‼️

Congratulations to Riley Tanner 🇵🇦 and Kennedy Garcia 🇵🇷 on a great @concacafw Gold Cup! #RollTide pic.twitter.com/10wvbzBmQY
