The second ranked Alabama softball team had its hands full on Friday night. In fact, maybe its hands were too full. The No. 13 Georgia Bulldogs beat the Crimson Tide by a final score of 7-4 behind an offense outburst that head coach Patrick Murphy's squad hadn't seen for much of this season. On Saturday evening, the Crimson Tide tried to get back on track. Alabama opened up the first inning by scoring twice ...

The Crimson Tide will travel to Duluth for its 30th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Championships. That's an impres ...

It's not often that punters receive rounds of applause during a game. It is even less common for punters to receiver numerous rounds of applause. So when Cody Mandell received multiple ovations from the crowd inside Bryant-Denny Stadium during the Tide's annual A-Day game, it was evident that he had done something to impress the masses.
