Title: BR: Will Tragedies Give the Tide Extra Incentive to Win This Year Post by: pmull on May 16, 2011, 08:05:11 AM Alabama already had a talented team that was picked by most to be in the midst of this year's title talk. It has great coaches, talented top-rated recruiting classes and maybe the best, most fervent fan base in all of college football.
By most standards, it has everything it needs to make a run at yet another national championship. But now it has more. Recent back-to-back tragedies have given the Tide even more incentive to win. This could be bad news for all the teams on its schedule. Players have been helping out with the tornado relief, and now they're showing support to the Douglas family following the loss of their son and the players' own teammate. "Our fans and this community has always been there for us. I'm glad to able to give something back to them." Trent Richardson, just one of many players, echoed. "We'll do everything we can for them and it would be extra special to give them a championship." http://bleacherreport.com/articles/695511-alabama-football-will-tragedies-give-the-tide-extra-incentive-to-win-this-year |
