More news this week, as practices start, and football gets closer.

• Tony Barnhardt is leaving the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He confirms as much in his post this week - about the Tide and our freshman class.
• The New York Times has Bama ranked 25th. It’s an interesting read from an outsider’s perspective.
• The Hogs have new unis. I suppose they look nice.
• Everyone involved in the Kentucky QB battle take one step forward. Not so fast, Curits Pulley.
• ESPN’s first power rankings of the season have Alabama at #23.
• The Tide Basketball team faces Oregon in the first round of the Maui Invitational.
• Rocky Top Talk has ranked Bama’s logo as the best in the country.
• Arkansas’s Patrick Beverly will not play this season. Good news for fans of SEC teams not named the Razorbacks.
