Bediako Back? Pearl Sounds Off on NCAA Ruling

Bruce Pearl just dropped some real talk on the Charles Bediako saga. With the big man possibly suiting up for Bama again after a pro stint, Pearl joked about bringing back Auburn legends like Jabari and Kessler, but then got serious. He’s worried about what this means for current players and recruiting—are we entering a new era where anyone can come back if they get a judge on their side? This could shake up SEC hoops big time. Thoughts on the Tide’s move? #Sports #Auburn #Alabama

Mini therapy horse brings hope to Alabama

Winnie, Alabama’s first miniature therapy horse, is making a real difference for people in care facilities across the state. Her gentle visits offer comfort and connection to folks who often feel isolated, especially those in nursing homes or memory care. What’s even more inspiring is that Winnie herself was once rescued and rehabilitated—now she’s paying it forward, one visit at a time. All her visits are free, thanks to a nonprofit model, and her team hopes to expand to reach even more people, including kids in hospitals. How do you feel about therapy animals in healthcare? #Pets #Alabama #TherapyAnimals

South Carolina dominates Alabama in SEC opener

South Carolina just handed Alabama its first loss of the season, making it 24 straight wins for the Gamecocks over the Crimson Tide. Even with key player Ta’Niya Latson sidelined, Joyce Edwards stepped up with 25 points, and the team never looked back after a big third-quarter run. For Alabama fans, this was a tough one, but for South Carolina, it’s another statement that they’re a powerhouse—even when not at full strength. What do you think makes this Gamecocks squad so tough to beat, and can anyone in the SEC stop their streak? #Sports #SouthCarolina #Alabama

Gamecocks face Alabama without Latson

Losing Ta’Niya Latson right before the SEC opener is a huge blow for South Carolina, especially with undefeated Alabama coming to town. Latson’s been a scoring machine this season, and her absence means the Gamecocks will need others to step up fast. Coach Staley says they’re taking Latson’s recovery day by day, but for now, it’s “next man up” mentality. With the team already dealing with lineup changes all season, how do you think this will impact their chemistry and chances against Alabama? Who do you see stepping up in her place? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #Gamecocks #Alabama
