Alabama fans are in prayer for one of the most vital members of the football program.
Eli Gold, the Crimson Tide’s long-time voice for football via Crimson Tide’s Sports Network, is battling a treatable form of cancer.
Statement from Eli Gold:
I want to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers. After extensive testing, I have now been diagnosed of a treatable form of cancer. I’m already making progress and hope to get back behind the mic again soon. Roll Tide!
