TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama Gymnastics team starts the 2008 season off with a great meet against No. 23 ranked Illinois in the Crimson Tide's home opener Friday, Jan. 11 starting at 7:30 p.m.
And while fans will be treated to outstanding competition and the chance for its first look at an Alabama team striving for its fifth NCAA Championship, the fun starts long before the meet gets underway. As a matter of fact it starts the moment fans walk in the door of Coleman Coliseum.
The Crimson Tide's 2008 team schedule poster and magnetic schedules will be given away at the door as long as supplies last. Fans will have a chance to have their picture taken with Big Al or Big Alice prior to the meet in the coliseum lobby.
Fans will also be able to go on camera and "Ask the Coach" prior to the meet in the lobby. If their question is selected, it will be answered either on the Sarah Patterson Show or on the Jumbo-tron at a future meet.
