🏈 It's a busy weekend for several UA athletic programs...

...starting with the football program hosting a handful of kids this weekend: both committed and uncommitted prospects. There's a thread, with at least a partial list, up on the recruiting forum about the guys in T-town: not including unofficial visitors which there are rumors circulating about.

If you haven't seen Kentucky play basketball this season it's worth the watch: even if it's the Tide at expense. The game will be televised on ESPN and you can also catch it through the normal avenues like WatchESPN, etc.

Ranked #6, the GymTiders are traveling to Fayetteville to face the 12th ranked Arkansas team.

And last, but certainly not least, Frozen Tide faces Auburn.

I realize we are a golf school, but there are other happenings, ya know?

You happened to be forgetting one...

If you think about interactions with other SEC fans, I'm sure you can remember them discounting football championships by mentioning their track championships, or baseball, etc. I ran into one the other day that was an LSU fan who quoted something like 40 NC's for their athletic department and threw out the number six for UA's.

People don't seem to remember how much success the programs around UA are having/have had recently.

Yes, back to back with the men's golf team.
Then there's the women's golf team.
Then there's the softball team.
Then there's the GymTiders: back to back again.

You add the three from football and you're looking at an athletic department which has churned out nine since 2009.

For all the flack Coach Moore received...

The first road trip of Alabama's gymnastics season brought another new feeling.

Problems on the beam were enough to sink the No. 6 Crimson Tide in a 196.175 to 196.325 loss to Arkansas. Alabama scored a 48.150 on the beam ― its final apparatus ― while the No. 12 Razorbacks had a 49.600 on the floor to close the meet.

"This was very atypical of Alabama on the balance beam," first-year head coach Dana Duckworth said. "We haven't had more than one fall in any of our intrasquads throughout our preparation for the season."

A week ago, Alabama had a 49.050 on the beam, but had had three falls Friday in Fayettevulle. It had to use two of the falls while Arkansas had to use just one.

The Tide outscored the Razorbacks on the vault (49.475 to 49.375, but had deficits on the other three rotations.

Alabama's Aja Sims won the balance beam (9.9) and junior Lauren Beers the uneven bars with a 9.875.

The Tide returns to Coleman Coliseum on Friday to face defending national champion Florida.
