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.

Junior wide receiver Jaylen Waddle will be out for the rest of the season after an ankle injury in the opening kickoff. Without Waddle, players like Slade Bolden will have to step up. Saturday’s game proved Bolden and his offensive teammates can handle the challenge.
