Crimson Tide Roll Call: February 22, 2022

Men's Golf: Alabama men’s golfer Canon Claycomb followed Sunday’s opening round 67 with a 6-under 66 in Monday’s second round of the Waterson Invitational to take a six-stroke lead on the field. Thanks in large part to his performance, the Crimson Tide leaped seven spots up the leaderboard into third overall with a 12-under par 276 on the day.

Women's Golf: The University of Alabama women’s golf team improved its first-round score by more than 10 strokes Monday, as the Crimson Tide has now completed 36 holes at the Moon Golf Invitational at the Suntree Country Club in Melbourne, Fla. UA put together a 2-under-par 286 in the second round, tying UCF for the lowest second round, advancing three spots up the leaderboard to find seventh place on a 7-over-par 583 tournament total.

Countdown to the Crimson Tide's 2022 Season Opener:

193 days

On This Date in Crimson Tide History:

February 22, 1893: Alabama and Auburn played for the first time in football. The Tigers won 32-22 before approximately 5,000 fans at Lakeview Park in Birmingham. The schools played every year until 1907, when the rivalry was suspended until 1948.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“We hazard nothing in saying that the game would not make a single constructive contribution to education in the state.” It concluded: “The fundamental question is: Do the people of Alabama need a tranquil, sane kind of athletics in their two major institutions, or an irrational rabid kind?” – Alabama’s Committee on Physical Education and Athletics report on whether to renew the rivalry with Auburn. At the time, both coach Frank Thomas and Alabama schools officials believed nothing could be gained for the Crimson Tide by playing a team that had never finished better than third in the SEC.

We'll leave you with this...

This isn’t a game tying HR. This isn’t breaking any records. This is a freshman who has tirelessly worked so hard in the weight room, on her swing, on her nutrition. This is 19 teammates who’ve been privy to witness the process realized. Not by accident. They get it. #MUDITA pic.twitter.com/HBV9gsxEXE
