This Week with the Crimson Tide: August 24-30, 2020

The latest with Alabama football and a look at what to expect this week on BamaCentral

This past week the University of Alabama started fall classes, and the Crimson Tide football team began fall camp.

Alabama worked out four times as it starts to slowly ramp up for its season opener, now scheduled for Sept. 26 at Missouri. So it has four more weeks of preparation before it gets into regular-season mode.

Meanwhile, we want to point out a couple of changes here on BamaCentral.

First, Cary Clark’s video segment on Wednesdays will preview the upcoming weekend in high school football, including where Alabama prospects may be playing. It also ties into his Friday Night Lights radio show on 100.9 FM in Tuscaloosa.

Second, keep an eye on our Bama/NFL and 4-1-1 pages for some updates and upgrades. If you didn’t see Kristi Patrick’s Complete 2020 Alabama Crimson Tide Roster Breakdown, check it out.

Finally, you might have noticed our BamaCentral+ page, which has been earmarked as being our premium page. Not only can you post on the message board without having to worry about trolls, but it’s the new home for our commentaries and columns.
