Did anyone see the special on the Alabama visitors locker room on GameDay, and if there is anywhere online it may be posted? Thanks!

I don't get it other than Bama is probably favored at home and it's tough for visitors... but what does that have to do with the locker room.


OU, UF, Bama, & LSU have outstanding home records for the last few years.

The visitors locker room is named after a donor with the last name Fail.

A gentleman from Mobile was a member of the Bryant Society. That classification is given to those who donate a mil + to the athletic dept. at UA. His last name was Fail, and he apparently had a good sense of humor...so when the vistors lockerroom was updated, it was named in his honor.

He was a friend of our family, and a really sweet man, and LOVED Alabama. He died last year.

I would say so. I think there are about 8 or so folks who have donated enough to be in the Bryant Society.

Someone in my family was at his funeral, and thought he saw a friend that he hadn't seen since college, so he walked up behind him and gave him a HUGE bear hug, and did some joke they did from college... Anyway, the person turned around and it was Coach Moore...

They aren't strangers by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think Coach Moore was expecting a bear hug and an old fraternity prank at the funeral.

I know... :csb:

A funeral is no place for an elephant walk.

Well, I think if I get technical about it, it was at the Church the day before.
