WALK of a CHAMPION UA student’s bluetick coonhound wins Best of Breed at dog show By Reed O’Mara | Staff Reporter Julep is not like all of the other dogs that roam the Quad with their owners when the weather warms for the first time in February. Julep is a Westminster Dog Show ribbon holder, and her owner Brenna Potash worked hard to get her there. The senior majoring in consumer science recently participated in the Westminster Dog Show in New York City and won Best uet etic ick ic k of Breed with Julep, a 2-and-half-year-old bluetick ut ut coonhound. Potash said her dog is anything b but just a show dog to her. “I tell people who say, ‘Oh, she’s just a w show dog,’ that, actually, [her being a] show d dog is the icing on the cake, per se. She would d be my pet first, my hunting dog second and yI then my show dog,” Potash said. “Saturday en took her out, and she treed a raccoon, not even er five days from winning at the Westminster Dog Show.” SEE WESTMINSTER PAGE 2

Elisha Shaw is just like any other Alabama football recruit in the Nick Saban era. He’s big, he’s fast, and he’s one of the best players in the nation at his position. He’s committed, he’s excited, and he’s ready to get to work. He signed a scholarship to come to The University of Alabama on Feb. 5, National Signing Day, and has been told by the Crimson Tide coaching staff over the past few months that he will serve a role with the team right away. But Elisha Shaw will not play a down for Alabama. He won’t practice, he won’t dress out for games, and he won’t even be included on the roster. Elisha Shaw will never play football again.
