TUSCALOOSA,Ala. — At about 10 a.m. Thursday morning, most people at the University of Alabama had no idea what that noise was after a roar shook the windows of campus buildings. Those that didn’t see the announcement of the Blue Angels doing a fly-over wondered if the campus was having an earthquake. It was the […]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.–Of the 17 players who participated in Alabama’s Pro Day on Wednesday, wide receiver DeAndrew White had the most to prove.

Just because an Alabama player leaves the program, doesn’t mean he loses support from head coach Nick Saban.

TUSCALOOSA,Ala.–Alabama has faced some tough times during this year’s men’s basketball season, but that was temporarily forgotten on Tuesday night, if only for a moment.
