The family of a University of Alabama student is gearing up for trial following his drowning death three years ago. Garrett Walker’s family is also now suing the Delta Chi International Fraternity.

Alabama’s chances to make the first ever twelve team playoffs may have received a shot in the arm. The Crimson Tide are now ranked number nine in the AP Top twenty five after thrashing LSU in Death Valley forty two to thirteen.

Jalen Milroe highlighted a career-high 185 yards rushing with four scoring runs, and the Crimson Tide routed 14th-ranked LSU 42-13 on a rainy Saturday night.

Alabama heads to Baton Rouge for what may be an elimination game against LSU. Neither the Tigers nor the Crimson Tide feels it can lose Saturday’s match up and stay in contention for the playoffs.

It’s homecoming at the University of Alabama. But, tomorrow’s football between the Crimson Tide and Missouri has all the earmarks of a playoff elimination match. Alabama started the season ranked fifth and spent a week at number one after Georgia. Then came losses at Vanderbilt and Tennessee.

Those top 10 rankings have fallen by the wayside for Alabama and Missouri. Still clinging to playoff hopes, the 15th-ranked Crimson Tide and No. 21 Tigers meet Saturday in Tuscaloosa for what amounts to a virtual elimination game.

The Crimson Tide narrowly avoided another upset after losing to Vanderbilt last week. Alabama was able to hold off South Carolina 27-25 with an interception after allowing the Gamecocks a chance at handing the Tide its second straight SEC loss.

The Crimson Tide are preparing with perhaps a bit more urgency for tomorrow’s game against South Carolina. Both teams want to bounce back following embarrassing defeats last weekend. Alabama lost to Vanderbilt forty to thirty five. But, the Gamecocks did worse in its twenty seven to three drubbing by Ole Miss

Politics and college football mixed in Tuscaloosa over the weekend. The University of Alabama defeated Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium. GOP Presidential hopeful Donald Trump was in the stands and Democrat Kamala Harris made her presence known with a nationally televised attack ad. APR News spoke with red fans and blue fans who made their feelings known about campaigning on game day.

Politics and college football are likely to collide tomorrow in Tuscaloosa. The Alabama Crimson Tide play the Georgia Bulldogs in a rematch of last year’s SEC Championship game. Alabama beat the Dogs twenty seven to twenty four. That ended Georgia’s chances at a national championship three-peat. Saturday’s game in Tuscaloosa also has the added complication that Donald Trump plans to be in the stands.
