Third baseman Courtney Conley's solo home run in the third inning was the only offense No. 1 seeded Alabama needed in its 1-0 victory over Georgia. Alabama (49-7, 23-5 SEC) advances to play third-seeded Florida, which defeated Tennessee earlier in the day, in Saturday's SEC tournament championship game.

First pitch has been moved from 7 p.m. to noon because of the threat of inclement weather.

The year is 2024 and the United States has just elected the first woman as President of the United States ...
 
 
A few days after the election, the president-elect calls her father in Birmingham and asks, "So, Dad, I assume you will becoming to my inauguration?
 
"I don't think so. It's a long drive; your mom isn't as young as she used to be, we'll have the dog with us, and my arthritis is acting up in my knee."
 
"Don't worry about it, Dad, I'll send Air Force One or another support aircraft to pick you up and take you home, and a limousine will pick you up at your door," she said.
 
"I don't know.  Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?"
 
"Oh, Dad," she replied, "I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by one of the best designers in New York ."
 
"Honey," Dad complained, "You know we can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat."
 
The President-elect responded, "Don't worry, Dad.  The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in D.C. and I'll ensure your meals are salt-free.  Dad, I really want you to come."
 
So her parents reluctantly agreed, and on January 20, 2024 arrived to see their daughter sworn in as President of the United States .
 
The parents of the new President are seated in the front row.  The President's dad notices a Senator sitting next to him and leans over and whispers, "You see that woman up there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States ?"
 
The Senator whispered in reply, "Yes I do."
 
Dad says proudly,
 
 
 
 
 
"Her brother played football at ALABAMA"
 

What a great feeling it was when Florida made their last out today. Jackie Traina's right arm has to be about 4 inches longer now after what she did this weekend but she had a lot of support after Friday night, offensively and defensively.

There was something that happened at the start of the game today that I though was about as classy as you can get. Bama was going to present all of their seniors on the team, players and managers with flowers and recognition today but the first player to be recognized and given flowers was Michelle Moultrie of Florida. I think it caught her by surprise but she and the Florida team were very gracious of Bama doing this.

It was a wonderful day at the ballpark, capping off a great regular season for the Tide ladies. Roll Tide!!  

Where there is a will, there is a way. That's about the way I would size up Bama's come from behind series win. Friday nights game was horrific for the ladies but they rolled up their sleeves and put a blue collar rear end whipping on the Gators in the next two games.

The atmoshere was electric at the game and I want to give a big ROLL TIDE to all of the fans that came out to watch the ladies this weekend, I think it made a big difference in the Tide winning the next two games after the loss.

Jackie Traina did something that Kelsi Dunne struggled with her whole career at  Bama, losing the big games. Don't get me wrong, Kelsi was a great pitcher but she always had problems in the big games. Traina has some ice in those veins of hers because when Florida jacked out the home runs on her that inning, she could have gone to the shower but she didn't, she beat a very good team.

There were many heros for the Tide, you have to look at Kayla Hunt who had 3 errors in the first game and just had a terrible game all together. She really proved herself to be a top notch player by not pouting about what happened and she went on to have a darn good tournament. Defensively, after the first game Bama played as good a defense as they have played all year and this was the difference in Bama winning the SEC outright. There was some outstanding defensive plays made that keep Florida's speed burners off the bases as well as bailing Traina out of some tight jams when she really needed something good to happen.

Kudos to the Ladies and now lets see if we can't work our way to Oklahoma City. Roll Tide!! 

The SEC regular season title is all Alabama's.

The No. 3 Crimson Tide made sure it wouldn't have to share its third consecutive title with Florida or Tennessee with Sunday's 5-3 victory against the No. 7 Gators at Rhoads Stadium. The win gave Alabama its fourth SEC championship in program history and marked its first three-game series victory over the Gators since 2008.

Alabama, as the No. 1 seed, will face Mississippi State in Thursday's first round of the SEC Tournament. All games during the three-day tournament will be played at Rhoads Stadium.

It was a good win today, this was the Bama team that we were watching win so many games and was undefeated earlier in the season. Bama beat the pitcher that they could do nothing with last night and she only lasted 2 innings today.

The difference in today's and last night's game was the umpire's strike zone. Hannah Rogers had the luxury of a very wide strike zone by the umpire last night but that wasn't the case today and Bama's batters had a much better strike zone to deal with. She was basically throwing to the same places today but they were balls and not strikes. It was very tough for the batters last night.

Tomorrow brings on a decision by both coaches, who do they use as their starting pitcher. When I got to the ballpark today and saw that Hannah Rogers was pitching for Fla, I knew then that Traina would start for Bama. Rogers was totally exhausted after two innings today and Bama seemed to be able to see the ball pretty good against Florida's reliever and other starter. Traina seemed to still have some left in her as the game ended today so it will be interesting to see if Murphy starts her and just let her go as long as she can and then use Locke and Jury to close out or to start Locke and see if she can go 3-5 innings and let Traina be the fire truck.

Either way, Bama has a lot of momentum in them after today's game but will any of it still be there for tomorrow"s game, I'm hoping so. Roll Tide!!
