Hold the rope, Shawty!I did track at Bama (walk on) and we got to work out in the football weight room a few times when our regular weight room was unavailable. It was not very impressive, but then again, that was under Franchione.
I believe that was proven to be unsubstantiated...but it sure sounded good.I heard when CNS came in 2007, he looked around the weight room at night and ordered that the TVs on the wall be removed by morning. Said something to the effect of, "We're not here to watch TV". Interesting there are monitors. Maybe I heard wrong from that staffer, or maybe they play motivational stuff, or maybe he's changed his philosophy.
I went there a few times throughout Fall of 2010 and they would have "Beat Penn State" or "Beat Tennessee" in the other team's colors showing on them and that was it. No cable TV for sure.I heard when CNS came in 2007, he looked around the weight room at night and ordered that the TVs on the wall be removed by morning.

The workouts for the day are posted on the TV's.I heard when CNS came in 2007, he looked around the weight room at night and ordered that the TVs on the wall be removed by morning.

Yeah this has kind of been answered, but when I went through there in 2009, they had a motivational word of the day, workout plans, and other informational stuff on the screens. Definitely not CNN or ESPN or anything.I heard when CNS came in 2007, he looked around the weight room at night and ordered that the TVs on the wall be removed by morning.

...with him pulling back yelling "gimme that ball!"Coach Cochran called ... said you can have all you can carry
Back in the early 80s our weight room was in Coleman Coliseum-we entered the exit facing Druid City. It was located in two rooms. After entering the exit the first room on the right had the free weights and the first room on the left had the machines. They were good sized rooms but nothing like this.What did the old weight room look like?
Sick.They are not monitors - they are sensors feeding the Eye of Saban.
