• Kalen DeBoer wasn't the only Alabama head coach to get a contract finalized, as Crimson Tide basketball head coach Nate Oats agreed to a monster extension with the team that will likely keep him in Tuscaloosa through 2030.

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

March 19, 1958: Paul W. “Bear” Bryant's first spring practice officially began a day later than expected because of torrential rains in Tuscaloosa. Two players who immediately impressed Bryant were guards Milton Frank of Huntsville and Gary Phillips of Dothan.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"I didn't care if we ever quit practicing. I loved it. The only other guy I ever knew who loved it as much was Jerry Duncan. He would beg to practice even when he was hurt. I've actually seen him cry because the trainer told him he couldn't scrimmage." – Paul W. “Bear” Bryant on tackle Jerry Duncan (1964-66).

We'll Leave You with This:

• Alabama baseball has moved into the coach's poll top 10 for the first time since 2006 ...

“We’re not ordinary, gentlemen. We don’t do ordinary stuff.”
