On this date in Crimson Tide history:

July 10, 1960: American Broadcasting was set to televise college football for the first time. For its kickoff game, ABC selected the Sept. 17 matchup between Alabama and Georgia at Legion Field. Sports information director Finus Gaston met with ABC officials in Birmingham for a sight inspection and the network folks seem especially happy when told it wouldn’t be a problem for the university to provide a jeep for one of the mobile cameras. ABC would use six cameras to field the game, including the one on the jeep.

July 10, 1989: Chavis Williams was born in Dora, Alabama.

July 10, 1990: Running back Trent Richardson was born in Pensacola, Florida.

Crimson Tide quote of the day

"I'm known as a recruiter. Well, you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad." — Paul W. “Bear” Bryant

We'll leave you with this ...

“When I worked at McDonald’s, I thought it was the best job ever. I was making $100 every two weeks…I came to work every day happy and I knew it was all part of my goal to go to college.”
