Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson and his ninth-seeded Crimson Tide are preparing this week for a College Football Playoff game on the road versus No. 8 Oklahoma.
With the pressure that comes with playing in a game of this magnitude and rumors of possible injury, the senior signal-caller finds ways to relax and take the pressure off of himself.
“I listen to country music every time before a game,” Simpson said. “Whether it’s Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, Luke Combs, it gets me in a mode and I feel back at home.”
He also says that he is aided by the comedic chaos of a popular 90’s sitcom.
“In the hotel room, I’ll watch Seinfeld,” Simpson said. He added that the series puts him in a “happy mood” and that it’s a “stupid, funny” sitcom to watch to help him unwind. His favorite character is Kramer.
He continued by talking about how important it’s been to “take a second and breathe” after he and his team have been beat up through a tough SEC slate.
“Any time you play an SEC schedule, it’s hard, hard on your body, hard on your mind. So, getting a couple days off to relax, have fun, play a video game, is great.”
He also turned his attention back to the field and talked about Saturday evening’s practice after graduation, which head coach Kalen DeBoer said was “really good.”
“We were at night, which is different because we’re usually in the morning,” Simpson said. “Playing under the lights, it just felt like high school. Especially being out there with your guys that you love.”
He then relished the opportunity that’s in front of him to play in the CFP and expressed gratitude to be able to play college football.
“Any chance that we get to take a second and realize what we do for a living and how many people watch us and how we can just change people’s point of view, it’s awesome,” Simpson said.
When turning attention to Friday’s game in Norman, Simpson talked about his team’s mindset after dropping two games to the Sooners to kick off the DeBoer era in Tuscaloosa.
“We know what happened last year, we know what happened this year, but we can’t worry about that,” he said. “We’ve got to do what we do, control what we can control, and guess what? We can control our attitude, how we play and how we prepare. So we’re going to prepare like we’ve never won and perform like we’ve never lost.”
