In a move that has baffled both New Yorkers and seasoned golfers, Alabama’s most devoted fans have decamped from Bryant-Denny Stadium to Bryant Park for Ryder Cup week—complete with face paint, foam fingers shaped like putters, and personalized playbooks that still feature “4th-and-goal” diagrams. Dubbed “Operation Crimson Tee,” the mission is simple: overwhelm every fairway with more Tide pom-poms than sand traps.
Your official daily Bama Briefing kicks off with morning rituals in Times Square, where devoted alumni practice synchronized “Roll Tide” yells until passing businesspeople duck for cover. Midday coverage spots include rooftop watch parties above Manhattan’s only biscuit food truck, serving sweet tea in souvenir YETI cups. By late afternoon, expect impromptu halftime shows on Broadway: former Tide band members performing “Yankee Doodle” on trombones, but only if you squint and hum “Rammer Jammer” in your head.
Tonight’s full TV lineup:
• 3:00 PM ET – “Ryder Cup Preview: Will Alabama’s Mascot Ever Make a Long Drive?” on SEC Network
• 6:30 PM ET – “Tuscaloosa to Tee-Off: A Crimson Tide Golf Special” on ESPN2
• 9:00 PM ET – “Late Night with Nick Saban: Golf Tips You Can’t Use at All” on CBS Sports Network
Tune in, turn up, and remember: if you see a man in a Jorts bucket hat chanting “Roll Tide Roll” at the 18th green, that’s just Alabama doing what it does best—showing up, standing out, and confusing the living daylights out of everyone around.
