Top 10 moments from the 2011-12 season not involving the football team

[pmull]

Football is obviously king at Alabama, but Crimson Tide athletics as a whole enjoyed its most successful year ever, and many smaller sports had seasons filled with spectacular moments of their own.

Because of the nature of these other sports, many of them take place in the spring, meaning they are going on at the same time. If you followed any of the sports, you often found yourself watching one game while frantically checking scores of another.

Because the 2011-2012 season gave us many of those days, I’ve compiled a list of the top ten days of the season on which the football team was not playing:

3. May 25, 2012

Alabama softball beat Michigan 4-3 to win the Tuscaloosa Super Regional and advance to the Women’s College World Series.

Just a few minutes later, women’s golf won the national championship when Brooke Pancake sank a four-foot putt to clinch the victory.

2. April 21, 2012

Ashley Priess stepped up onto the balance beam for the last routine of the NCAA Gymnastics Championships, needing a near-perfect score to clinch a victory. Priess scored a 9.5, giving Alabama its sixth national championship in program history and second in two years.

1. June 6, 2012

Alabama softball sang in the rain while Oklahoma sat in the dugout, and the Tide won its first ever national championship in softball in one of the most dramatic sporting events in Alabama history. The win unquestionably made 2011-2012 the greatest year in Alabama history, with a fourth national championship.

I guess one would have to say there is still good stemming from disaster in the 2011 tornadoes. That the close knit, small community, is conducive to team work and national championships.  Everyone working toward common goals.
