Great tribute @ExcitableBob al.com/life/2025/03/remember…
Miss the days of going into Sol's with Nadia always asking if I was ready for some dessert, "Just don't tell anyone I gave it to you for free." Jeff sitting there shaking his head, "of course, mom."

Great read here from @ExcitableBob
“My goal was to get there, to see Alabama in the Final Four,” he says. “I was just ecstatic to be there. Everything we talked about over the past decades, and to finally be at the Final Four, in a way, that was enough.”

On June 20, Rickwood Field will host its first-ever regular season Major League Baseball game, when the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants come to Birmingham for MLB at Rickwood: A Tribute to the Negro Leagues. The eyes of the nation will be on one of the crown jewels of baseball that night, and some of the giants of the game are expected to be there.
Presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama

That’s my FRIEND and I tried to nominate her in 2012 while eating a sandwich she made. Kelsey is a hero and Dothan owes her so much – at Huntsville, AL

How lucky am I to have covered 9 seasons of the Nick Saban Era at Alabama? It will never be lost on me.
Shout out to @ExcitableBob for writing this heartfelt essay for me to edit to...and to my fiancé for having a voice and a microphone.😆
It's hard to put into words what Nick Saban has meant so many people in Tuscaloosa and beyond, but we think @ExcitableBob has summed it up pretty well with "An Ode to the GOAT" 🐐
As we usher in a new era of Alabama Football, please enjoy this 🎥 tribute to the Greatest of All Time:

Worshipping sports figures is stupid. But when you're a kid, you do it. RIP to my childhood favorite, Brooks Robinson. And thank you to @ExcitableBob for getting me an autograph many years ago. Still have it. I'm going to go be crushed for a while (and it's my birthday!)

Seeing @TrussTribune area Carpenetti’s make the list is pure gold! Good get, @ExcitableBob!

Jalen Milroe said Phillipians 4:13 is his favorite Bible verse, which says “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” (NIV)
Said Milroe: “I can always lean on my Lord and Savior. I’m good.”

I want to be @ExcitableBob when I grow up. His “Ode to Bryant-Denny Stadium,” read by @JohnArchibald, is something else. Very reminiscent of Wright Thompson’s College GameDay voiceovers on ESPN. al.com/alabamafootball/2023/…

@ExcitableBob maybe it’s the redneck in me but eating really good hotdog, BBQ or hamburger is as exciting as eating at a 5 star restaurant…. al.com/life/2023/07/alabamas…
