Alabama football social media trolls Butch Jones, Tennessee: ‘Brick by brick’


play

College football rivalries have no offseason.

Nor do they have a statute of limitations for trash-talking, as was evident in a social media post by Tennessee’s football rival, Alabama, on Friday. The Crimson Tide posted a video of its summer workouts as a way to hype the Alabama fan base with the 2025 season fast approaching.

Alabama’s social media team took an opportunity to take a swipe at former Tennessee coach Butch Jones in the process, by using the caption “brick by brick” to accompany the 36-second video.

“Brick by brick” was the slogan Jones was known for using during his Vols coaching tenure from 2013-17. The reference was to build a strong foundation for a lasting program. Jones went 34-24 in his four years with the Vols, which included a 14-24 record in the SEC.

Jones was fired during the 2017 season with two games remaining on the schedule. He went 5-15 against Alabama, Florida and Georgia ― Tennessee’s three biggest annual rivals.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach




Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills


Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
