- Yesterday was running back Najee Harris' birthday. As you can imagine, there were countless videos posted of his trademarked hurdles. It's four years worth, so sit back and enjoy. Spoiler: the hurdle against Notre Dame is included.
- Per a tweet from Chase Goodbread of NFL.com, Jaylen Waddle only enforced his reputation as a burner. Will he top former teammate Henry Ruggs' time in the 40 yd. dash? It's going to be tough, but he is supposed to run at the upcoming Alabama Pro Day.

Countdown to the Crimson Tide's 2021 opener:
178 days
On this date in Crimson Tide history:
March 10, 2010: The Alabama football team visited the White House for the first time with Nick Saban. When the coach and President met in the Green Room, ESPN reported that he said "Every new success brings a new set of challenges," and President Barack Obama responded: "Tell me about it!"
Crimson Tide quote of the day:
"One of the trademarks of this team has been its unwavering focus on what's important. I know shortly after the 2008 season, Coach hung a picture of the Florida Gators winning the national championship in the locker room -- not too subtle. It was his way of asking his players, did they want to work hard enough to beat their teammates in a drill? Or did they want to work hard enough to beat the best team in the country? It's pretty clear what choice they made." — President Barack Obama
