On This Day in Crimson Tide History:
November 25, 1925: After leading Alabama to an undefeated regular season, quarterback Pooley Hubert was named the MVP of the Southern Conference.
November 25, 1998: Jahvon Quinerly was born in Hackensack, N.J.
November 25, 2013: Alabama senior quarterback AJ McCarron appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Wrote executive editor L. Jon Wertheim: "By conventional metrics, McCarron is not going to elevate eyebrows. He will not often throw for 300 yards, the way, say, Manziel, Oregon's Marcus Mariota and Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater will. He's not a dual threat. Then again, if you want to build a case for McCarron, you could do worse than starting here: He has as many national championships as he does defeats."
November 25, 2017: Even though Alabama had to play the final 10 minutes with just three players, Collin Sexton scored 40 points and kept the game close during an 89-84 loss to No. 14 Minnesota at the Barclays Center Classic in New York. When a near-brawl broke out in the game, numerous Alabama players left the bench and were automatically ejected.
Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:
“Sure I’d love to beat Notre Dame, don’t get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state.” — Paul W. “Bear” Bryant
