Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“The lessons of discipline, sacrifice, hard work, team work, fighting to achieve, aren’t being taught by many people other than coaches. A football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the communication lines between himself and his players are more open than between kids and parents. We’d better teach these lessons or else the country’s future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts or people on relief. He was surely ahead of his time as far as the game and with people,”— Woodrow Lowe, who was born inin Phenix City, Ala., on this date in 1954, while talking about Paul W. “Bear” Bryant.
