How can Pat wear suspenders and a belt and lose his pants?

Saban would be able to run in the rabbit hole and get him out.

Yes they would. Malzahn would be carrying a 12-gauge while Saban was carrying a child's .410

Don't know if it is true, but I heard Dye got sued after he beat up his neighbor. Dye was in his mid to late 60's and the man he fought was in his 30's. My favorite Dye story, although, I have never been able to confirm it.

So you admit he would be over compensating yet again?

It was a great story. I would love to sit down and listen to some of those guys old stories.

I would bet on it, especially with the "fat" forearm. I would also bet 28" modified choke, as well.

Remmington 1100 vs Browning A5. Easy Choice.

Coach Bryant's field jacket is badass. I have one similar but it doesn't have the shoulder pockets. Mine is awesome for bird hunting and for going places in the winter with a toddler. You can pack everything the kid needs into it

The shell holders work great for the mini bottles and formula...

not saying it definitively isnt, just saying its 1982 and there are several manufacturers that made autoloaders that looked almost identical

More than likely its an 1100 based upon what was most common

Also great for packing several beers into it when you go to a Mardi Gras parade

I loved the part where Dye was recalling how Bear shot a rabbit dead from 75 yards. Dye said he asked Bear if he realized what a difficult shot that was.

Bear's answer? "That rabbit knew who was shooting at him."

Back when southeastern conference coaches were south eastern.
Great pics. Bryant looked so tired and worn.
