Stronger Together: Alabama football players use influence to spark change

Alexander Plant | @aplant63, Sports Editor November 1, 2020
In a video filmed this summer, Alex Leatherwood led the Alabama football team in standing up for Black Lives Matter. Since then, the team has helped organize a march of student athletes from Mal Moore Athletics Facility to Foster Auditorium, spoken to the U.S. Surgeon General about COVID-19 and registered many of its members to vote. "I think we have the responsibility... [to] use our platform in a positive way to try to create social change," Nick Saban has said.

From the SEC to DC: Tommy Tuberville’s race for Senate comes to a close

Alexander Plant | @aplant63, Sports Editor November 1, 2020

If the policy issues at stake don't hold much sway for you in this presidential election, consider being superstitious. In 11 of Alabama's 17 national championship seasons, a Democrat has been president. A win for the Tide this year could help narrow that gap, but winning sprees under presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson and Barack Obama put Democrats in a strong lead.

Friday marks the last home game of the season for Alabama women's soccer. As they celebrate their departing seniors, the team (1-3-2) will face a fearsome opponent in Texas A&M (4-1). Managing a win over the Aggies can only come once the team shakes off a weeks-ago draw against Mississippi State.
