Happy Homecoming
We're looking forward to welcoming so many of you back to Tuscaloosa this weekend for Homecoming. There are several events planned throughout the next few days including Friday night's pep rally and bonfire, which will feature a drone show. Saturday, we have the Homecoming parade in the morning, in addition to SEC Nation live from in front of Wade Hall, followed by the football game vs. Missouri at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game is sold out through the Alabama Ticket Office, however fans can search for tickets on SeatGeek.
Soccer Hosts Florida for Final Home Match of 2024
Hard to believe we've reached the end of the soccer regular season already.

In addition, children are encouraged to come early and dress in their best costumes as we will have prematch trick-or-treating and a costume parade during halftime.

Barrett Jones Named to 2024 SEC Legends Class
Congratulations to former offensive lineman Barrett Jones, who was selected as Alabama's representative in the 2024 Southeastern Conference Legends Class. Barrett will be honored in Atlanta as part of the SEC Football "Weekend of Champions," highlighted by the annual SEC Legends Celebration on Friday, December 6 at the College Football Hall of Fame. The Legends will also be recognized prior to the SEC Football Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, December 7.
Bryant Society Welcomes 2024 Class
The Bryant Society is the pinnacle of the Crimson Tide Foundation's Lifetime Giving Society, which recognizes the lifetime contributions of donors who philanthropically support Alabama Athletics. The first Bryant Society Induction Ceremony in 2015 honored the 16 donors whose lifetime contributions to the Crimson Tide Foundation at that time had reached at least $1 million. Due to the generosity of our loyal supporters, this has become an annual event giving us the opportunity to formally recognize and induct new Bryant Society members during a black-tie ceremony and dinner. This Friday night, we have the privilege of honoring the 2024 class of Bryant Society inductees. In addition to Friday night's festivities, these donors will be recognized in a special presentation at halftime of Saturday's game. Please give them a round of applause on Saturday to thank them for their commitment to Alabama Athletics. We are profoundly thankful for the generosity of our Bryant Society members and the enduring impact they make on our programs.
Crimson Tide Scholarship Fund
As we near the midpoint of the fall semester, our student-athletes have been hard at work pursuing excellence in competition and in the classroom. You can support their educational goals by contributing to the Crimson Tide Scholarship Fund (CTSF). The CTSF provides annual scholarship support for our student-athletes, offsetting the costs of tuition, educational fees, books, and room and board. Donors to the CTSF earn three Tide Totals priority points per $100 donated. To donate, visit crimsontidefoundation.org/ctsf.
