New championship play-off model

Football championship games have always been between the best two teams. Until this year, there is talk about changing the way things have been done. In the past years it comes down to who is the best and those two teams battle it out to see who is actually the best. The change will be based on a play off bracket system only taking the winners of each teams division. Thus, leaves some of the best teams out of the championship game. I personally think some change is good but some things need to be left the way they are. Last year there was a big uproar about LSU and Alabama playing in the championship game because they were both in the same division. But it all came down to the top two teams to play that game. Just the way it should be. What are your thoughts on how things should be?

Devastation in Alabama a year later

On April 27 2011, a day like any other day turn deadly in a hurry. Everybody going about their day just like normal until a huge F-5 tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa, Ala. Although it destroyed much of the state it did not touch Bryant-Denny Stadium. More than 62 tornados in total tore through the state of Alabama and parts of Georgia. As many as 250 dead and up to 2,500 injured. Homes and land torn apart, It was devastation everywhere.

Soon after this happened, there were former Crimson Tide football players and current team member pulling into town with truck loads of supplies and the man power to help clean up. The two teams Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers who are said to have a feud on the field set aside all of that to come together and help out as one. A year later many of the buildings and land are still in bad shape, families still in shock and wondering how such a bad thing could happen to a great state, but as they say in Alabama “Roll Tide” and they just go on their way.

Alabama Crimson Tide Football Player Goes To Prom – Special Night For Trent Richardson

Senior prom is a big night for any young teen. We have all been through the nervousness of picking out a dress or tux to even picking out a date. High school has so much peer pressure that we want to go to prom with the right person.

What we do not see is all the students that do not go for reasons like not having a date or even being to sick with things like cancer to go, but even cancer did not stop one girl from Alabama.

Courtney Alvis is a cancer survivor and all she wanted was to go to her senior prom. She had not been asked when Trent Richardson former Alabama Crimson Tide player asked her! He said he did this out of the kindness in his heart and because his mother is a cancer survivor as well. He missed his senior prom and wanted to make the night special for Courtney.

Not only is Trent an amazing person he is a great football player. As a Alabama Crimson Tide fan, he makes me proud. More teams need players like this. Has anybody else read this article or seen the video? If so, what are your thoughts on the story?
