Head Coach Nick Saban, Offensive Coordinator Jim McElwain, Defensive Coordinator Kirby Smart and several student-athletes met with the media on Sunday prior to Fan Day.

Quote
"We are excited about the challenges and opportunities that this team has this year. By every indication that we've seen in the first couple of practices, we have a lot of guys that are committed to a high standard. We obviously, like every team, have some question marks and challenges. Some players on the team need to take advantage of those opportunities created by those questions and challenges and how that all works out will go a long way in determining where this team can go. It's not really about expectations. It's really about how many guys go and do their job on a consistent basis versus how many blinking lights we have of guys who don't seem to be able to get it right whether it's personally, academically or athletically. All of those things contribute to the competitive character and consistency that you can go out and play with."

"Finishing is a big thing for this team. I don't think we finished well last year whether it was plays, games, season or however you want to look at it. I think that's all about mindset. It doesn't really have anything to do with how fast you run or how high you jump. This is a tough time of the year when you are going through fall camp. It's the time of the year that players have to go earn it. You have to pay the price for success upfront. From a football player standpoint, everybody kind of expects that because you grow up with it whether it's high school, college or wherever. I think the way we do it now is so much more player-friendly to have the five days of acclamation; two days in shorts, two days with shoulder pads and then you finally get into pads. You have to have one practice a day and then you can start doing two-a-days. We never practice here unless the players can eat twice and drink twice between every practice only for their ability to recover. When you practice in these kinds of circumstances and conditions that we practice in, in the long term you are better off because you have more guys practicing and less guys having problems. That contributes to how you can develop players as a team."

I'm about to bust. I can't wait to see what this team can do. I think what the Tide did to Mich. St. is going to carry over big time this year. The Dos Equis guy says "Stay thirsty, my friend". I say "Stay hungry, every game, one game at a time!"

I think last years team went though the motions in practice and expected to have the same success as th 09 team. The 09 team was hungry. It was focused and losing to Florida in 08 was the main reason. This years team should be hungry. No one was happy with last years results. What we saw in the Mich St bowl game is what I expect to see this year. We are a veteran team this year and I expect us to play well.

Amen. brother. There needs to be a banner at BDS and every locker room for the entire year that says only "Finish!".

I didn't mean only that paragraph. The LINK had tons of info that comes from coaches and a couple players, not merely sportswriters speculating and opining.
