- And we're glad Chris Stewart's sense of fashion has gotten better with age:
How about a blast from the past? Surfing YouTube, I run across this little gem, the game broadcast of the 2000 Alabama/UCF game & find @CStewartSports working the sidelines. Bama lost that day, but goodness what a shirt! Hope you're well, Chris. Happy New Year & God Bless! pic.twitter.com/M0JgwCzh8s

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:
January 3, 1987: University President Joab Thomas and Georgia Tech head coach Bill Curry reached an agreement, making the Yellow Jacket mentor the replacement of Ray Perkins. The official announcement was expected within 24 hours.
January 3, 1992: Blake Sims was born in Gainesville, Ga.
January 3, 2007: Nick Saban officially resigned from the Miami Dolphins and flew to Tuscaloosa to become the head coach of the Crimson Tide. He signed an eight-year contract worth a guaranteed $32 million, which at the time was criticized by many for being the richest coaching deal in college football history.
Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:
“I told the pilots when they dropped me off in Miami that if I didn’t come back to this plane with Nick Saban, they should just go on and take me to Cuba.” — Mal Moore
