A Very Happy Third Saturday of October

What a game and what a scene it was last Saturday night inside Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium! The football team rolled to an impressive 37-20 victory over then-No. 11 Tennessee which is the fourth straight game head coach Kalen DeBoer and his team have defeated a top 25 team – the first time in SEC history that any team defeated four straight AP Top 25 opponents with no open dates.

It was the team’s 16th consecutive win at home, matching Boise State for the longest active home winning streak in the country. I’ve said this a number of times, but your energy impacts the game and our student-athletes feed off it. Last Saturday night’s atmosphere was as electric as I’ve ever seen on our campus, so thank you! 

The team will look to keep the momentum going on the road when Coach DeBoer leads the team at South Carolina Saturday afternoon at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C.

Bama Balled Out in Boutwell, Final Exhibition Games on Deck

Our men’s and women’s basketball teams tipped off the exhibition portion of the 2025-26 schedule on Oct. 16 at the Ballin’ at Boutwell event. Both teams faced the Florida State Seminoles and walked out with victories. Head coach Kristy Curry and her team were impressive during their 20-point victory (91-71) in the first game of the day. Nate Oats and the men followed that up with a thrilling 109-105 win.

Both teams will play their final exhibition games Sunday at 2 p.m. CT.

Men’s Golf Shines

Our men’s golf team ended the fall season in grand fashion, claiming the team championship at the Fallen Oak Collegiate last weekend. The team used a final round score of 16-under par 272, which matched the fifth-lowest score vs. par in program history, to earn a share of the title. Thanks in large part its third-round performance, the Crimson Tide earned its second team title in the four tournaments played this fall, closing the event at 32-under par 832 (279-281-272).

University Spotlight

We recently hosted ESPN College GameDay back on Oct. 4 when the football team played Vanderbilt, and there was a neat story of University of Alabama chemical engineering student Gabby Mathis. Gabby was picked to kick the field goal by host Pat McAfee and what ensued was a memorable experience for her.

It was also cool reading about her experience at the University and just how powerful the Alabama brand is. It just goes to show you how the smallest thing can be a life-changing experience. Hope you enjoy!

#RollTideFriday

I came across a great photo that was submitted to me from Mandy Wyatt that I wanted to share. As you know, it is so special to see the photos of our passionate fans wearing their Alabama colors around the world. The brand is truly recognized anywhere you go. This particular photo shows UA alums from the state of Alabama visiting Vatican City as part of the UA National Alumni Association Tour of Italy. Roll Tide from Rome!

Keep those #RollTideFriday photos coming! As a reminder, be sure to use the hashtag in your social posts and tweet your photos to me at @Greg_Byrne.
