The "Paul Bear Bryant" looks so strange on another team's stadium though.
Can someone explain why his name is on the stadium?
He coached there 4 years and won 25 games. Granted he won 1 conference championship.

there are actually coaches names on all four corners. It's been a bit controversial that Bryant was used but there is a lot of lore from his days at A&M. ESPN even made a movie of the Junction Boys and players that played for him have been a pretty integral part of our program for a long, long time (John David Crow, Jack Pardee, Gene Stallings). It's a bit strange to me but given our incredible lack of success between WWII and the end of Vietnam, the big money guys remember the Bryant years pretty fondly.
