“You have taught me how to handle failure, how to preserve when things don’t go my way, and how to build friendships that will last a lifetime.”
Marlie Giles writes a heartfelt letter to softball.
#WCWS x @AlabamaSB
I am so proud of Team 30! Here is your friendly reminder that we are more than just the softball players you see on the field. Before commenting on someone’s performance, remember there is a human behind the jersey🤍
@jontweetssports If it were reversed, and it happened affair Georgia, you would still strongly defend that? The Liberty player was looking at a family above the Dawgs dugout? GA gets beat, that display, and you would staunchly defend? Only you know that answer truly.
Alabama snapped Nebraska's 27-game win streak 😱
The Crimson Tide allowed 1 run or fewer for the 42nd time this season, 2 more than any other team in Division I.

NEW: Indiana's Curt Cignetti says College Football is in danger if something doesn't change soon:
“The market is pretty expensive — it’s scary. It’s scary. I think players should get paid. But something’s going to have to be done in the next 12 to 24 months, or universities might not be able to handle this. College football won’t exist the way we’re going right now.”

Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time:
"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things.
Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us.
If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk.
As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter.
I just want to move past this."
Why does that divide a lockerrom? Introducing someone? Thats ridiculous. He has the freedom to do that like anyone would introduce someone else. What if he disagrees with a teammate on something?
@griffsz@JaxsonDart Dude made a terrible first impression, we all know how divisive the current administration is. So dude makes the choice to do what he did, all for himself, while dividing the locker room . Way to go young buck, this won’t end well.
I want to note when Brooke Wells hit the go ahead to put up a 3 run lead, the happiest person to greet her, Mari Hubbard, was the happiest I’ve ever seen anyone.
She’s not in the starting line up, she didn’t get into the game.
That’s Alabama softball.

It's amazing that @JaxsonDart simply introduces 47 and now we have teammates upset, reaction, team meetings. Over an introduction of the President. What are we reading into this? Is there free will? Choice? Are we assigning more to it than the simple fact stated above?
every day is a privilege and today is a truly sad reminder of that.
this little boy in this picture hated you on sunday’s. but he loved to hate you, and you made it very difficult to hate and not become a fan when your passion for racing showed, when you would show up to his home town to race at his home tracks. he will be forever grateful for that.
from a fan, to a hater, to a competitor, to a teammate, and to even maybe a friend. i share that story because this little kid in the picture was not anywhere near the true number that you impacted for the better just through racing.
you will be deeply missed. both on the race track, but certainly off.
RIP. 🕊️
