They will postpone it until the Dark Lord is better.

Saban Positive for Covid

 

[SayNoToJorts]

Game postponed in 3, 2...

 

[VolArmy74]

Just heard them say they were playing it unless team members or other coaches tested positive.

 

[bamawriter]

No one has tested positive but Saban and AD Greg Byrne. Still a long way from postponing.

 

[dono]

Get well quickly, Nickly.

 

[BigOrangeTailgate]

Prayers for a speedy recovery and that like the vast majority of those affected he’s asymptomatic. I’m ready for Coach Saban to retire and go fishing but not because of a health issue.

 

[Aerie Vol]

They're gonna cancel the season now.

 

[RockyTop140]

Butch Jones will take over HC role on Saturday

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Well, there's Bama's excuse for losing Saturday

 

[tennrich1]

Prayers for him and his family

Hopefully both will fall squarely in the 99.6% who recover. Definitely hope he and his staff are ok.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Legitimate question. With the contact tracing rules in place, how could Bama actually field a team or have practice the next 7-10 days or do those rules not apply to them?

Prayers for him and his family

He is late 60’s correct ? Hope he is reasonably good health and does not have any underlying conditions.

Butch Jones will take over HC role on Saturday

Its going to be exactly like Majors/Fulmer!!!!!!!!!

In theory they would not.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

You can't spell Alabama Crimson Tide without the RONA

 

[The Original Fade]

He is in a high risk group because of his age. Prayers for a speedy recovery and no long term complications

 

[Titans4Vols]

Given the incubation period of the virus, they almost have to postpone it. That or they're just like the NFL and their protocols are a joke.

 

[SpookyAction]

It's gonna happen from time to time. Everyone seems to be doing a better job staying safe that the Titans. That is embarassing.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Thankfully for Butch's sake, everytime he got within a yard or 2 of Nick, he lined up in the shotgun and went backwards...

 

[bamawriter]

Vandy, UF, and now Bama have Covid cases. Common denominator: they've all played Texas A&M.

It's Saban's way of preventing one of his pupils from beating him for the first time....................
