But is it true Alabama fans have never hopped the fence to celebrate on the field or is it a boastful revisionist history? In the modern era, yes.

“Bama fullback Don Kinderknecht gets a pummeling from some happy students …” read a photo caption on Page 5 of the Oct. 28, 1956 paper.

And that led to one of the more notable fans-on-the-field moments in Alabama lore. Alabama had lost four straight Iron Bowls to Auburn from 1954-1958 entering Bryant’s second year
Talk about reaching back into history.

Interesting that you left out the field storming in 1990.
quote:
Skip ahead to 1990 and Alabama was the program suffering through four straight Iron Bowl losses before Gene Stallings took his first swing as head coach.
So a 16-7 Crimson Tide win lit a powder keg in the Alabama student section, and eventually, the Legion Field artificial turf. News accounts differed on numbers and video of the postgame wasn’t clear but Alabama students tried to rush the field as the game ended and Birmingham police officers were there to greet them.
