Alabama Athletics Secures Disaster Relief National Championship

We’re not making the above joke as a pejorative, for once: Via Crimson Tide beat writer Christopher Walsh, we learned over the weekend that in addition to the SEC’s $500,000 donation to tornado relief efforts, the University of Alabama athletic department is giving a cool million.

↵News of the devastation wrought in Tuscaloosa and elsewhere has by and large drifted off the national front pages by this point, but thousands still need help. If you’re able to give, please visit the houndstooth ribbon widget on the right-hand column of our front page for suggested donation outlets.
