re: Bear Bryant, Jr. started a Bank?

"He also owns a huge catfish farm operation with the processing plant Harvest Select, farms in Alabama around Demopolis, a couple of farms in East Ms around Starkville, a farm and a hatchery in Inverness, Ms, farm in Hollandale, MS and a couple other farms including one or two in Arkansas I believe.

We have done business with them before."



And he's lost his arse in the business, too.
Coach Bryant let a select few friends (Frank Moody, Jimmy Hinton and Harry Pritchett to name a few)advise him in his business dealings. That was part of the agreement when he left A&M to come back to Tuscaloosa. Paul Jr. has proven to be a pretty good businessman, eventhough the catfish business hasn't done so well.
