Did You Notice?

Brandon Miller missed the Charlotte Hornets' game against the Los Angeles Clippers, being unable to make the late tip because of an ankle injury.

Kareem Jackson, who was waived by the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day after two suspensions this season, has gone back to his former team. The Broncos thanked Jackson, who was in the midst of his fifth season with the team, after his return to the Houston Texans became official.

Thank you for all you gave in the orange & blue, @ReemBoi25. 🧡

Marlon Humphrey was all over the place in the Baltimore Ravens' statement win over the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas. His physical play impressed, and he was a major disruptor in the game that dealt a serious blow to 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's MVP hopes.

.@Ravens @marlon_humphrey makes this play by hammering the OT and bubbling RunCMC TO the sidelines. Smart; and physical wins. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/K7JFtyHVpT

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

December 27, 1941: Alabama’s coaches met with reporters the day before leaving for the Cotton Bowl, where the Crimson Tide will meet SWC champion Texas A&M. Coach Frank Thomas called senior Holt Rast "The best all-around end in Alabama football history,” and assistant coach Red Drew added, "He's the best defensive end I've ever seen.” Playing in a bowl outside of the Rose Bowl for the first time, Alabama went on to win 29-21.

December 27, 1984: Le’Ron McClain was born in Fort Wayne, Ind.

December 27, 2001: Two plays after Waine Bacon blocked a punt, Alabama quarterback Andrew Zow threw a 27-yard scoring pass to Terry Jones Jr. with 4:44 left as Alabama pulled out a 14-13 victory over Iowa State in the Independence Bowl. The Cyclones missed two field-goal attempts in the fourth quarter, and three overall.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“Mama told me to never wear a hat indoors.” – Paul W. “Bear” Bryant on why he didn’t wear his houndstooth hat at the Sugar Bowl
