On This Day in Crimson Tide History:
December 29, 1934: Former Crimson Tide assistant basketball coach Benny Dees was born in Mount Vernon, Ga. He was also a head coach at New Orleans, Wyoming and Western Carolina.
December 29, 1982: The Paul W. “Bear” Bryant era officially came to a close as Alabama held off Illinois to win the Liberty Bowl, 21-15. Senior cornerback Jeremiah Castille picked off three passes while senior linebacker Robbie Jones nabbed one near the end of the game to help give Bryant his 323rd, and final, win. Fullback Craig Turner scored the last touchdown and Peter Kim recorded the final point of the Bryant years.
Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:
