Three weeks. Just three weeks. That was the time between the greatest high of his life and the greatest low.

There’s no need to tell you that the Alabama Crimson Tide are playing great football — and one of the best ways to tell that coach Nick Saban knows it as well? He uttered those two familiar words: “Rat poison.” It was two years ago when these words went viral, as Saban attempted to squelch […]

With LSU coming off a big win […]

Devlin “Duck” Hodges’ story might just be made for Hollywood. But it was made in Alabama. Hodges fits his hometown of Kimberly well.
