quote:
Alabama head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant turned the tables on his Cotton Bowl rival, Texas A & M head coach Gene Stallings, by showing up at a joint press conference wearing a pair of "Texas Aggies" cowboy boots.
Bryant was given the boots by an alumnus when he was head coach at Texas A & M, after his 1956 Aggie team won the Southwest Conference championship.
Stallings played for Bryant on that team and was later an assistant coach at Alabama for Bryant before taking the A & M head coaching job.
Pretty cool relationship between Stallings and Bryant, both had Bama and A&M ties.
-Both won SWC titles at A&M. Stallings, as a player (under Bryant), and as a head coach, and Bryant (as a head coach).
-Stallings was an assistant coach for Bryant at Alabama.
-Bryant and Stallings won SEC and national titles at Alabama
Just a very cool photo knowing the history of the two men and the affiliation with both schools.
