Did You Notice?

  • The Alabama football program had the parents of their new signees send heartfelt messages to their sons to announce them joining the Crimson Tide. Enjoy Amari Jefferson's parent's message to him and check them all out on the Alabama Football social media outlets.
  • This looks familiar. It's not a game-winner, but JD Davison took an inbounds play coast-to-coast to end a quarter for his G-League Maine Celtics.

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

December 21, 1934: Alabama tackle Bill Young suffered an appendicitis attack in Del Rio, Tex., as the Crimson Tide traveled to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl to face Stanford. Another Crimson Tide player, Jim Whatley, was also under doctor's care but was expected to be ready for the January 1 showdown.

December 21, 1989: Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner, Mark Ingram II, was born in Hackensack, N.J.

December 21, 1992: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was born in Orlando.

December 21, 1997: Quinnen Williams was born in Birmingham, Ala.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“I think that anybody who comes out of Coach Saban’s program is a little ahead of the curve because of how he develops his players physically, mentally and as men.” – Mark Ingram II, Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner.
