Battle did say he's been laughing a lot in meetings.
"I've been liking his energy lately," Battle said.

Nick Saban again raises the idea of European soccer-style promotion/relegation in college football, "where if you have a really good team at Wichita State, you can qualify for the playoffs, even though you don't play in that division."
"Like it or not I think we're headed in the direction of mega conferences."

Alabama WR JoJo Earle out with a broken foot. al.com/alabamafootbal…
Nick Saban ends his Wednesday news conference by telling the room, "I'm supposed to smile and say, 'Thank you.'" With the smile still on his face, he exits.
Saban said he is pleased with both offensive tackles so far in camp and added JC Latham is playing "extremely well."
Nick Saban says WR JoJo Earle has a Jones fracture in his foot. He's out 6-8 weeks. "Maybe by October 1 or something like that, he'll be close to being ready to come back."
