June 8th was a day that NCAA athletes all over the country had circled on their calendars, especially football players. After the NCAA cancelled all winter sports’ championships as well as spring seasons due to the coronavirus, hope remained for a fall football season. So when the NCAA voted to allow voluntary workouts to resume on June 8th, it was game on.
Although there are reports that 5 Alabama football players tested positive for the coronavirus, the Alabama Crimson Tide still held the first “voluntary” practice on Monday. And according to Alabama senior running back Brian Robinson Jr. “Bama is back.”
Can’t lie, today’s workout made me realize why I came to bama in the first place, Bama is Back!!!#RollTide

Robinson, who is a senior from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has continued to become a bigger part of Alabama’s offense each season. In 2017, he had 24 carries for 165 yards and 2 TD. In 2018, he recorded 63 carries for 272 yards and 2 TDs. And in 2019, Robinson made a much bigger impact offensively for the Tide as he had 96 carries for 441 yards and 5 TDs.
With both Robinson and Harris returning as running backs for Alabama, there’s no doubt that this could be a comeback season for the Tide.
I don’t know about you, but hearing Robinson say “Bama is back” has me so excited (and hopeful) for this season!
Roll Tide!
