On This Date in Crimson Tide History:

August 27, 1986: Alabama scored 10 points in the fourth quarter on a touchdown pass from Mike Shula to Al Bell, plus an extra point and field goal by kicker Van Tiffin to defeat Ohio State 16-10 in the Kickoff Classic at the Meadowland. The game was the earliest season opener to date for an Alabama team. 

August 27, 2007: The “Raising Alabama” issue with Nick Saban on the cover of Sports Illustrated was published. Rick Bragg’s story on the coach had the headline In the Nick of Time, and the following subhead: “Fed up with mediocrity and losing to Auburn, the Alabama faithful welcome Nick Saban as a coach tough enough to bring back the glory of the Bear.”

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“There are two types of preparation, physical and mental. You can’t get by with just one or the other.” – Kenny Stabler
