To give you an idea of where we are on the sports calendar, though, 2020 SEC Media Days was scheduled for July 13-16 in Atlanta. All we know right is that when media days are held they will be done somehow virtually.
This week at BamaCentral we’ll be going into holiday mode, but we’ll still have our daily feature regarding Crimson Tide sports, in addition to our regular items.
The Alabama SI Cover Tournament will wrap up the Sweet 16 and get into the regional finals. The preseason SEC position rankings series will also conclude.
Our lineup will include:
Monday
• Crimson Corner (Blackwell)
Tuesday
• Cary Clark’s Greatest Alabama Games
Wednesday
• The All Things Bama Podcast by Tyler Martin
Thursday
• Throwback Thursday
• Christopher Walsh’s Just A Minute commentary
Friday
• The Recruiting Corner and another All Things Bama podcast by Tyler Martin
Thanks for being here at BamaCentral, your Sports Illustrated home for Crimson Tide athletics.
