One of my favorite parts of my weekend in New York was visiting the legendary Rucker Park. To physically be in place I’ve only seen and heard stories about was a surreal feeling. One day I’ll come back and get some shots up 😂.

Tears were shed, anger was released, and determination was fortified. The Elite Eight was just as much a battle of emotion as it was one of skill, but @AlabamaSoccer survived. Next: the College Cup.

The Emotional Ride That Was Alabama Soccer's Elite Eight Victory

Frustration, anger, desire and determination. The Crimson Tide used it all and more to win an emotionally-charged Elite Eight match.

It was an early scrimmage at Alabama State. Two areas have proven to be solidified, while one still has a lot of questions. Check out my takeaways below. @hbculegends @ktmoze

3 Takeaways From The Alabama State Football Scrimmage

Coach Wes Hart remembers when the team finished last in the SEC after his first season. Eight years later in front of a record-setting crowd, @AlabamaSoccer wins the SEC regular season title for the first time in program history.
