Will the fans of Alabama football and Texas A&M get what they want?
This year’s contest between the Crimson Tide and Aggies will be intense, especially after the dust-up between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher about the NIL model. Ainias Smith, a wide receiver for Texas A&M, is calling for the Aggies fan base to “pack the stadium” in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Current and former Alabama players showed support to Coach Saban and are ready for the contest.
