Countdown to the Crimson Tide's 2022 Opener:

235 days

On This Date in Crimson Tide History:

January 11, 1990: DeQuan Menzie was born in Columbus, Ga.

January 11, 1990: Gene Stallings was introduced as the new football coach at Alabama before a packed audience of media, former players and well-wishers. Former stars Bart Starr and Lee Roy Jordan participated in the press conference and urged all Crimson Tide fans to rally behind Stallings and the Alabama program.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“It was tough. It really was. I made the decision to do it because the score was [tied] and we were tired on defense and weren't doing a great job of getting them stopped and felt like if we didn't do something or take a chance to change the momentum of the game that we wouldn't have a chance to win.” – Nick Saban on his decision to call for an onside kick against Clemson during the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

We'll leave you with this...

i’ll be back .. i’m sorry bama nation .
