1. 42.
2. Alumnus.
3. 4 year walk-on with an SEC championship ring and an A Club ring.
4. Dad was an alumnus who signed with Bama in ‘74. He didn’t last long, though.
5. Loved Alabama football growing up. Lived and died with every win/loss as a kid. Being at the ‘93 Sugar Bowl with my dad as a 14 y/o is one of my fondest childhood memories.
6. Very little emotional investment in it since I graduated, though, to be honest. Aside from what I still have from my “playing days,” I have no Alabama attire, souvenirs, etc., at all.
7. I think a large part of the reason for #6 is that after four years of being on the team and practicing with famous players every day, busting my arse through countless workouts and practices, and getting the experience of dressing out for several games that I am just not “awed” by Alabama football anymore.
6. The last time I put on football pads was the 2000 Iron Bowl and I have been to 1-2 games since and none since the early 2000s. Nowadays I watch games more as a football fan than an Alabama fan.
