Growing up in Huntsville, Ala., during the Bear Bryant era, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales couldn’t help becoming a Crimson Tide fan. (Although he committed football sacrilege by attending rival school Auburn as an undergraduate before receiving a master’s degree at Alabama.) Despite the dual alma maters, Wales remains a rabid ’Bama fan. When ESPN asked him to name his favorite Crimson Tide memory, Wales said, “Without question, it's gotta be the 1979 Sugar Bowl ‘goal line stand.’ The single best moment of college football in history. Quite possibly the single best moment in all sports history. Maybe I am biased, but anyone who makes a top 10 list without putting that one on there is just a very sad and confused individual.”
