Did you notice?
- Alabama track and field sophomore Mercy Chelangat set a new school record for the Crimson Tide in the women's 5000-meter on Friday at the Washington Indoor Husky Classic with a time of 15:37.35. The time landed Chelangat the third-place spot, as Regan Lee of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club and Jessica Tonn finished with times of 15:33.17 and 15:36.72, respectively.
- Former Alabama/current XFL cornerback Bradley Sylve was traded from the D.C. Defenders to the L.A. Wildcats Friday afternoon. The trade comes just six days after Sylve fielded a 69-yard interception returned for a touchdown, the first pick-six in XFL history.
- Former Alabama men's basketball player Wendell Hudson was a guest on The Paul Finebaum Show on Friday, and during his segment regaled the listeners with a story that involved himself during his time at Alabama and former football coach Paul 'Bear' Bryant. Hudson was the first African-American student-athlete for the Crimson Tide and will have his No. 20 jersey retired on Saturday at the halftime of the Alabama-LSU game in Coleman Coliseum.

– Former Alabama gymnastics coach Sarah Patterson, who was hired by Bryant and went on to win six national championships.
