On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

February 28, 1943: Although he wasn’t optimistic that Alabama would field a team in the fall, Frank Thomas told reporters that spring practices would begin in March after the completion of exams. "If there are enough players to play football and if there are any teams to play, we will have a team," Thomas said. The escalation in World War II, however, cast a pall over any thoughts of gridiron action.

February 28, 1994: Dalvin Tomlinson was born in McDonough, Ga. 

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

Ryan [Anderson] just thinks I’m a freak of nature," – Dalvin Tomlinson

We'll Leave You with This:

Former Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster was seen working out for the Houston Roughnecks preparing for the upcoming UFL season. The new season kicks off at the end of March leaving just four more weeks until Foster is back in live action.
