On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

August 26, 1930: Wallace Wade, who was entering his final year as head coach of Alabama, said "toting ice, chopping down trees, working in steel mills and other laborious tasks do not put athletes in a good frame of mind for football. When they don their moleskins in September, they are stiff and pep-less if they have had that type of summer regimen. I prefer regular exercise programs with emphasis on running." – Bryant Museum

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin’ and prechin’ were a lot alike.” – Paul W. “Bear” Bryant

We'll leave you with this..

The NFL's No. 1 overall pick and Alabama's Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Bryce Young threw his first touchdown pass in the Carolina Panthers final preseason game.
