On This Date in Crimson Tide History

• August 31, 1964: Joe Namath was the center of attention during Alabama’s picture day. The 5,000 media booklets printed by the athletic department were almost sold out, and writers from around the South were picking Alabama, LSU and Auburn to battle reigning champion Ole Miss for the league title. A picture of Paul Bryant and Namath conversing on the bench was the featured photo on the media book cover. – Bryant Museum 

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day

“The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time you don't even have to think about it.” – Bear Bryant

We'll Leave You With This ...

Several @AlabamaFTBL players have a #NIL deal with @SanaDetroit — apparel drops Friday, proceeds going to cancer research in honor of John Metchie III.
