On This Date in Crimson Tide History:
June 8, 1960: Former Alabama star Hootie Ingram, an assistant coach at Wake Forest and en route to Tallahassee for a coaching clinic at Florida State, stopped in Tuscaloosa to visit family and friends. When asked if he liked college coaching, Ingram replied, "Yes, but recruiting is a humbling experience." Ingram noted how he was sent to Pennsylvania and New Jersey on a recruiting trip. "I'd never been there before and it was my first time on a turnpike. I didn't know when to get off, so I just drove to where it ended, turned back around and headed South." — Bryant Museum
Crimson Tide Quote of the Day
"There ought to be a special place in heaven for coaches' wives." — Paul W. “Bear” Bryant
We'll leave you with this...
"Coming out here, seeing the way that he leads, the way that he works his butt off to be the best... that's the mentality we all gotta have."
