Local News for The University of Alabama
Alabama cross-country freshman not 'intimidated' September 17th
It’s spring 2009 in Corinth, Miss., and Katlyn Will — a high school senior — has plenty of reasons to be proud of herself.For the past four seasons, she has helped her high school team win the Mississippi state championship titles in cross-country and the past two seasons in track. In 2006, she won the state individual championship in cross-country for the second season in the row and in the 800m, 1,600m, 3,200m and 4x400m relay. On top of all that, she is graduating as valedictorian of her senior class at Corinth High.
Alabama tailback looking to recapture old magic September 16th
There are few individuals in life who get a chance to shine brightly under the lights of a college football stadium. Fewer still can recover and still be productive after the spotlight is turned to another, and they are relegated to the shadows of someone else’s glory.Terry Grant is one of them.
Alabama has title potential with a few improvements September 16th
The Crimson Tide is good. Really good. But for Tide fans across the nation, what should be more exciting is that they could be great.

To whom it may concern, This is is just a sugestion, but move the strong side of the offensive line to the right. Not every play, but just to catch Florida off guard. Everyone expects us to run left so throw them off occasionaly. Also you have to shut Tebow down or its over. Do not let him go deep, but also dont blitz too much or he will burn you every time. I have always been a Bama fan and if we can beat Florida then we have it. Just some thoughts from a long time fan. Saban your doin great, keep it up. thanks, long time fan Chris Brown p.s. right out the gate let john parker go deep. Burn them early
