Twitter Tuesday: Tweets of the Week by Alabama Athletes
Alabama right tackle DJ Fluker has stepped up as a vocal leader for the Crimson Tide this season, and he even uses his tweets to provide motivation.
Like I said..

Pretty cool view of Bryant-Denny Stadium without the lines painted on.
Okay, I know Ben Eblen is no longer an Alabama athlete, but the former Tide point guard is seriously one of the best twitter follows. This is pure gold.
This seems to be what Nick Saban was preaching all week leading up to the Western Kentucky game. Play to a standard and don’t play down to your competition.
Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix with some praise for Western Kentucky tight end Jack Doyle, who had 7 receptions against the Crimson Tide.
Denard Robinson is a BEAST I promise an AMAZING athlete. #Salute and MUCH RESPECT!!!

More praise for the opposition as junior cornerback John Fulton praises Michigan QB Denard Robinson, who put on an absolute show this week against Air Force.
The running back y'all @CodyMandell29 !!!

Cody Mandell’s teammates obviously enjoyed his fourth down run to move the chains after he dropped the ball on a punt attempt.
I got so lucky yesterday...at least I got the first down! pic.twitter.com/CtgvMQSf

Cool picture of Mandell’s first down run. He avoided a tongue lashing from Saban and special teams coach Bobby Williams by making up for the drop with his effort to get the first down.
DAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Alabama linebacker CJ Mosley says what we were all thinking after Louisiana Monroe pulled the upset of Arkansas.
Arkansas is going to be even more fired up to play us next week. Don't underestimate the razorbacks

Kicker Cade Foster puts things into perspective after Arkansas’ loss to LA Monroe. The Hogs are still not to be taken lightly.
Apparently even football players were not immune from having their cars towed for parking incorrectly on Gameday.
This tweet was probably shortly after Jalston Fowler’s MRI on Monday that showed he tore his PCL and would be done for the season.
God works in mysterious ways. I appreciate all the support from my friends & fam. #rolltide

Freshman running back Kenyan Drake was probably expecting more than one carry against Western Kentucky, but he sure made that one count by taking it 32 yards into the endzone for his first career touchdown.
The season is getting closer and closer every day.

It’s football season, but sophomore guard Levi Randolph reminds everyone that basketball season is just around the corner.

McCarron getting focused on Arkansas.
Reading @DjFluker76's tweets has got me fired up this morning

Nice picture of Kenyan Drake’s touchdown run against Western Kentucky. Also, apparently his new nickname on the team is road runner.
The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle

I loved this tweet by right guard Anthony Steen. Great quote.
