After a second-place finish in the Big XII championship, the Crimson Tide was selected as an at-large team this afternoon and gave the Tide their first bid to a national championship. For the first eight boats, Alabama placed at the 11th spot, just outside the top ten. In the second eight boats, the Tide came in at 17 and finished at 13 for the fours.
Alabama opened its season with a sweep of Eastern Michigan in Tuscaloosa, with the Varsity 4+ and Varsity 8+ taking the top spots. The team continued to victory as the Third Varsity 8+ and Second Varsity 4+ brought home the wins at the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational. The Tide climbed to the No. 11 spot ahead of the big matchup against No. 8 Tennessee.
Local musicians, comedians and business owners are coordinating a benefit concert and comedy show to support the United Mine Workers of America.
Alabama Strike-Fest will take place Saturday, May 22 at noon. The benefit will feature both musical and comedic artists such as Mike Cooley, Lee Bains + The Glory Fires, Drew Morgan and DJ Lewis. Food will be provided by The Alabama AFL-CIO’s BBQ Pitmasters Chili Cookers.
The strike has been going on since the beginning of April when Warrior Met Coal workers ceased production due to unfair working conditions. Warrior Met Coal proposed a new contract to its employees, which they found insulting.
