Good morning to all from Bryant-Denny Stadium. A few of the Volunteers just trotted out of the South end zone for warmups. Does anyone need to guess what kind of reception they received?

Great performance from the Tide defense in 1990, especially with the blocked field goal that led to Phillip Doyle's game-winning field goal.

It's way too early for the students to start tossing things yet. We'll see how things are in about 4 1/2 hours.

MS, what's going on in Bryant-Denny now???

Not much at the moment even though it's less than 50 minutes before kickoff. Both teams have their quarterbacks and receivers warming up. The student section is filling up, but the stadium is probably only about 35 percent full.

It's "Dueling Bands" at the moment. The UT band fired up "Rocky Top" which spurred boos and sparked the Million Dollar Band to counter with "Yea Alabama."

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Media Relations just handed out an announcement that five UA players are suspended for today's game. The suspended players are: Antoine Caldwell, Glen Coffee, Marlon Davis, Marquis Johnson and Chris Rogers. The reason listed for the suspension is a "violation of institutional policy involving impermissible receipt of textbooks." The infraction was discovered on Thursday and an inquiry was initiated. The players were informed of their suspensions on Friday upon the initial results of the inquiry. The University is still in a fact-finding phase and will release further details when the inquiry is completed.
