Both bride and groom are well kept secrets. The only commonality that can be found between Tua and his new bride, Annah Gore of North Carolina, is that they both attended The University of Alabama.

Bama, is again, predicted to win. Since before the inception of the College Football Playoffs (CFP), Alabama has won more playoff games and championships than any other team. This year is no different. Nick Saban’s recruiting wizardry makes the Crimson Tide a pre-season pick for the 2022 National Championship. While I’ve heard that Saban prefers to be the underdog, he is always willing to show the NCAA why his Tide is the predicted winner of most matches. Both Draft Kings Sportsbook and former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow predicts the Alabama will win the championship this year. “If I had…
When Nick Saban announced he would be the next coach of the Crimson Tide, naysayers doubted his loyalty to the team. And with good cause. Saban spent five seasons as LSU’s head coach when he abruptly left for the NFL. While LSU fans have not forgotten, Alabama is thankful for Saban’s short stint with the Miami Dolphins. LSU Tigers Saban led the Tigers to their first National Championship since the 1950s. Tiger fans celebrated their coach and didn’t want to believe that he would leave Baton Rouge. Especially since Saban said publicly that he had no interest in the NFL.…

“I didn’t know Alabama was a college.” I couldn’t believe my ears. Football and education intertwine in many rural states where flagship university teams are dominant. Is UA a place to get an education or is The University of Alabama just a football team? Just out of college I found myself working as a recruiter for The University of Alabama. This was my first professional job after graduating. I was a recruiter of students, also known as an admissions counselor. As I traveled throughout the state of Alabama, Mississippi, and even Dallas, I traveled through many rural areas. This was…
Nick Saban communicated his concern with competitive edge at SEC Media Days. Whether you are one of the many cult like Saban followers or just a college football fan, you’ve undoubtedly seen or heard of Nick Saban’s brazenness with the press.

Tuesday’s SEC Media Day was no different. 3 Million Dollars for Players and How This Affects Competitive Edge When asked about NIL, Saban said that Alabama players received around 3 million dollars collectively. While…
Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide face two Texas teams this fall. The Tide travels to Austin to play the Texas Longhorns on September 10. The Texas A&M Aggies travel to Tuscaloosa on October 8.

However, the Alabama record is 11-3 against Texas A&M. Alabama Visits Longhorns for the First Time in 100 Years While it may be too early to predict the Alabama vs Texas…
