We have always had our creed fanatics, but when did Alabama start their Capstone Creed? Serious question.. This email went out to students.

They came up with some core values statement when I was a freshman or a sophomore I think, maybe earlier.

Further back than 2006 at least. They had some sort of night time gathering at Woods Quad for everyone to recite it. Felt cultish, I didn't go.

I thought it was something they made freshmen do during 'Bama Blast. If I remember correctly it started around 2004.

You can pick up plaque versions of this creed at the area Walmart.

I believe there's a mirrored version with Saban's likeness in the background.
