This Week with the Crimson Tide, Sept. 14-20: Say Goodbye to the Offseason
It’s the final week of the offseason, as the SEC schedule is set to kick off on Sept. 26, and it looks like there are two storms on the horizon.
The first, of course, is soon-to-be Hurricane Sally, which is heading straight to New Orleans, and should bring lots of wind and rain to the region.
The second is the Big Ten, which looks like will reverse course and come back and play an abbreviated season this fall.
Just went you thought the 2020 season couldn’t get any weirder.
BamaCentral will keep you abreast of the latest developments, and how they impact the Crimson Tide, plus next week we’ll go into regular-season mode, which will mean even more items on the site.
Additionally, the first Alabama sporting contest of the fall season will be Saturday when the soccer team hosts Tennessee at 1 p.m.
In the meantime we want to remind you to check out our unparalleled Alabama in the NFL coverage and databases, along with our BamaCentral+ premium page.
Our aim remains the same, to bring you All Things Bama around the clock.
