Just in: new Alabama linebacker reportedly makes a controversial announcement on Nick Saban an send clear message to former Team….

Tuscaloosa Police say they have misdemeanor animal cruelty warrants for former Alabama defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs.

A complaint that was filed in the Tuscaloosa District Court says police, on March 28, found a Pitbull and Rottweiler who had been without food and water for several days.

The complaint says that Buggs, who had been renting the home, moved out several days before the dogs were found.

The dogs were placed into the custody of the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter, and according to court documents, the Rottweiler had parvo and was underweight. Unfortunately, the Pitbull had to be euthanized.

At this time, an investigation is underway.

Thanks to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama already has a reputation for being home to rocketry.

The state now has cause to celebrate that fact, as students from Tharptown High School in Russellville, AL created a rocket that won the top spot in the world’s largest rocketry competition.

The team was named the National Champion out of a record-setting 922 teams at this year’s American Rocketry Challenge at Great Meadow in The Plains, Virginia.

The team has competed six times since 2018, but this is the first time the high school has taken home the victory — in 2023, however, the school placed second.

In addition to a prize of $20,000 — and rocketry bragging rights, of course — the students will also now represent the United States in the International Rocketry Challenge at the Farnborough Air Show in July.

“We all work together as a team and come together to give input,” team captain Kylee Beard said in a release.

“We have one senior on our team, one sophomore, and the rest of us are juniors, so we’re looking forward to success in the years ahead.

To prepare for the Farnborough Air Show, we plan to launch more during the summer — but we need a lot more supplies! But at the end of the day, it’s going to be YOLO [you only live once], because that’s what we do best.”
