Alabama defensive lineman Tim Keenan met with the media on Tuesday after the Crimson Tide's practice to discuss the off week last and the upcoming matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Keenan detailed how he spent his weekend away from the Crimson Tide facility while sporting new blonde locks after a weekend appointment.

"Yeah, I went back home, went to go see little brother play, spent some time with my fraternity brothers. I got this nice new hairdo, make sure ya'll get a good picture, get a good angle. It's been real smooth. I got to spend some time with my folks, seen my niece and my nephew, they came down from Huntsville. So it was just good family off time in Birmingham," Keenan said.

The former Ramsay Ram will be important for Alabama's defensive efforts on Saturday as the Crimson Tide opens SEC play with the Georgia Bulldogs.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“Sylvester [Croom] was the first black head football coach in the history of the SEC. Before his hiring, my goal was to create a national conference. We were a bit regional. As long as we had shown we couldn't provide opportunity for everyone, we wouldn't be the kind of national league that I wanted us to be. With the hiring of Sylvester, it was a huge story, especially out of the state of Mississippi. That allowed us to become that national conference that we wanted to become.”
