Why 2 seemingly dead summer months could decide Alabama football fate

"Not a moment goes unnoticed.

Then, after the spring speaking engagements and charity golf tournaments, the spotlight fades in a sense -- even in football-mad Alabama. Updates cease.

The black hole of the summer news cycle opens an abyss to the absurd.

But, quietly, things are happening. Behind the green-tarped fences of Alabama's football complex, players are working outside the view of everyone. Even coaches can't watch these summer workouts that former Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy said mean more than outsiders realize.

"It's probably the time that I miss most," said McElroy, now an analyst on ESPN and the SEC Network. "That is when your team is built. You can talk about spring and fall camp. The team is built when they're away from the coaching staff. The team is built when you come together because you have a lot of free time."
