He has introduced a new flavor to Alabama football as its new head coach, but Kalen DeBoer is not doing away with every tradition from the Nick Saban era.

DeBoer is two days from his first spring game for the Crimson Tide.

Fans are set to pack out Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday for the new edition of Tide football.  Saban had the players stroll up the Walk of Champions into the stadium with "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC blaring through the PA system. He's had a mixture of music genres going at spring practice; however, DeBoer is not messing with the classic. The 49-year-old told Chris McCulley, a sports photographer for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Ala., he is not changing Alabama's theme song to enter the stadium.

"That has worked a lot, that has worked over the years," DeBoer said about Thunderstruck.

"So, no need to change that."

DeBoer is not changing the song that Tide fans have grown accustomed to hearing each season during pre-game sessions.

Alabama nation is ready to hear Thunderstruck and watch the Tide this weekend for A-Day.
