I don't know if this has already been addressed, but that pregame dog and pony light show was an embarrassment the TIDE, University, the Team and I cannot see coach Saban for it either!

Somebody tell me that was a one time thing! Many friends of different schools laughed at me about this spectacle. Tell me its only a one timer!!!

Who the h#ll came up with this great idea, anyway?

Maybe you need more mature friends that understand you have nothing to do with what goes on at the stadium.

ok,, am curious, I didn't see it,,, what  are you talking about?  and why are you concerned about those laughing at you? 

In its first night game of the season last Saturday, in the team’s seventh game, Alabama finally got to show off its state-of-the-art LED lights at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and the fans and players responded exactly the way athletic director Greg Byrne wanted.

The system, consisting of 174 Musco LED white lights and 60 Musco LED RGBW color lights, helped created an atmosphere the five-touchdown underdog Tennessee Volunteers couldn’t. And although Tennessee kept the game closer than anticipated, thanks in part to Tua Tagovailoa exiting in the second quarter with an ankle injury, it was the light show that was the talk of the game.

 

Tua Tagovailoa doesn’t have to play against LSU

Tua Tagovailoa doesn’t have to play.

That’s not what anyone wants to hear right now with the latest “Game of the Century” between Alabama and LSU already in overhype mode and still two Saturdays away. Like everyone else, I want to see Tua vs. LSU’s Joe Burrow. Resting Alabama’s injured star quarterback might be the better decision, though.

It’s something to consider, and we’re going to have a long time to consider things with the game still so far away.

Should Tua play in a football game that Alabama doesn’t even have to win less than three weeks after having surgery on his ankle? It’s risky for a couple reasons, and it’s also unnecessary.

Give him a good month and a half. Make sure he is perfect for the Iron Bowl, or as close to perfect as he can be after injuring his ankle against Tennessee. The College Football Playoff committee isn’t going to keep one-loss Alabama out of the postseason based on a loss to No.1 LSU that came without Tua at quarterback.

Before speaking to Birmingham’s Monday Morning Quarterback Club, Alabama coach Nick Saban answered a few questions from reporters and said he “doesn’t have a crystal ball” to answer hypothetical questions about whether his injured quarterback will play. He got a little *****ly, of course. It’s delicate subject material.

He wants his players to rest mentally and physically this week, and then get down to business with preparation for LSU beginning on Thursday.

According to Saban, Tua is expected to start going through the motions of practice on Wednesday despite his recent surgery. Does Saban have a cut-off date when he must decide between playing Tua against LSU, or backup quarterback Mac Jones?

Personally I wouldn't put much stock in that at all. 
There's still the Iron Bowl to consider also.
