Countdown to the Crimson Tide’s 2021 basketball season opener:

18 days

On this date in Crimson Tide history:

October 22, 1988: In describing the action to a CBS audience, commentator Brent Musburger calls Derrick Thomas' performance the best defensive effort he had ever seen. In Alabama's 8-3 win over Penn State, Thomas registered three quarterback sacks, including one for a safety, batted down one pass, and was credited with eight quarterback hurries. – Bryant Museum 

Crimson Tide quote of the day:

“Never give up. Reach down inside and you’ll find something left.” – Paul W. “Bear” Bryant
