It was a day of major change for Anthony Grant and the Alabama men's basketball team. After hearing virtually nothing from the program since the conclusion of the season, Grant had a press conference today where several big announcements were made.

The Alabama football team concluded its 2010 spring practice in front of a 91,000+ crowd at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. In an odd moment that can only be described by saying "it's a practice," the white team won 23-17 by throwing a touchdown pass after time had expired. On Monday night the members of the white team will eat steak while the members of the crimson team eat beans. Members of both teams will likely pay a little more attention to the fact that they will receive their SEC Championship, BCS Championship, and National Championship rings during that dinner.

The biggest news from practice today was that Robby Green is ineligible for the 2010 season. The feckless thugs at the NCAA have decreed this. OK, that's probably a huge overstatement... and it appears that Green has brought this upon himself. All speculations points toward this being a drug related suspension.

Coach Nick Saban said that “even though we are very disappointed we will continue to support Robby in every way possible. He'll practice and do all the other things with our team in terms of classes and workouts, but just won't be eligible to play in any games this fall. His attitude has been outstanding through this and his effort in practice has been very good as well."

While that was the biggest news, there was more from practice...
