Thanks to @SamfordMBB’s @coachacuff for sharing about your experience as a head coach, journey through 🏀 which has led you to Samford & thoughts on the evolution of the game at all levels.
Congrats to @ThePelhamWayMBB DaeShuan Morrissette for being our player of the week.
Samford Coach Lennie Acuff speaking at the Birmingham Tip Off Club this morning.
I asked @coachacuff what Alabama and Auburn fans can expect:
“You don’t have to drive to Tuscaloosa or Auburn on Wednesday nights, you can come over to Lakeshore and watch a good basketball game.”
“I think their confidence in me comes from me having confidence in them…
That’s kind of the reason why I stayed.
I love this team, I love this group, and I love the city of Tuscaloosa.” Alabama QB Ty Simpson
Thanks to @whatley_ennis for sending this picture of the Alabama high school all-stars which had to be around 1981. Does everyone recognize future @AlabamaMBB legends Ennis Whatley and Bobby Lee Hurt along with future @AuburnMBB and @NBA legend Charles Barkley?
Nearly a year after teen Lulu Gribbin of Mountain Brook, AL lost her left hand & right leg in a shark attack, she did some slalom skiing today.
Lulu continues to inspire!!
