Title: Barnhart: Struggle continues in wake of Alabama tornadoes Post by: pmull on May 11, 2011, 04:25:15 PM TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Gene Stallings was right.
The former head football coach at Alabama told me that the destruction in Tuscaloosa would have to be seen in person to be believed. Stallings was on the outskirts of the city on April 27 when the tornadoes hit. "The state patrolman stopped me and wouldn't let me go any further," said Stallings, who lives in Texas but was supposed to host a charity golf tournament that weekend in Alabama. "He said, 'Coach, it's going to be real bad.'" On Tuesday, almost two weeks since the historic storms hit the place lovingly known as "T-Town" I finally got the chance to see how bad it really was. My friend Rachel Baribeau, a Tuscaloosa resident and free-lance journalist, was kind enough to take time away from her own work to make sure that I saw the full scope of the devastation. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/15053813/struggle-continues-in-wake-of-alabama-tornadoes Title: Re: Barnhart: Struggle continues in wake of Alabama tornadoes Post by: cbbama99 on May 11, 2011, 05:42:10 PM Tony is a class act. I could almost feel some of the pain in his mind as he typed this story.
