When printing tickets for this year’s slate of games, someone fell asleep at the wheel and misprinted the ‘Bama vs. ‘Mississipi‘ State tickets. Unfortunately for Alabama, the...

Dooley hits the refresh button

Greg King and Marlon Walls will join their teammates when Tennessee opens fall practice this Wednesday in Knoxville. King, a linebacker from Memphis, and Walls, a defensive tackle from Olive Branch, Mississippi, were suspended from the team following a bar brawl last month that left an undercover police officer injured. Head coach Derrick Dooley reinstated the two saying that they showed regret and were contrite in their apologies throughout the investigation process.

Since former Crimson Tide safety Justin Woodall didn’t get drafted or signed by any NFL team in 2010, he is moving on to baseball.

However, during this time, the former high school baseball phenom was being scouted by several major league baseball teams. His athletic ability and reputation from high school...

Even though the redshirt freshman saw some playing time last season with the Tide, he figured he wouldn’t see the field too much with McElroy calling the shots for the defending national champs. Since Jackson transferred to a championship subdivision team he is not required to sit out the 2010 season. It’s not a...
