I’m so old, I use to pay for a weekly newsletter that came in the mail each week regarding recruiting and a preview of upcoming games. I don’t remember the service, but it was before I had internet.

Greg McGarity said one of the quickest decisions by the SEC's 14 athletic directors was not to have tickets for visiting fans. He said it was a 14-0 vote.

I'm so old, my first few years of watching Bama football in the 1960s as a kid was either at Legion Field, Neyland Stadium or on our black & white Zenith TV. It was full of vacuum tubes. Transistors hadn't been invented yet. We had a tall outside antenna so we could get the B'ham CBS & NBC stations. Huntville only had 1 station (ABC).

Kirk McNair's BAMA magazine sent a weekly newsletter during the season, along with the monthly magazine. In the late 80s and early 90s Cecil Hurt had a recruiting hotline. It was free but long distance charges applied.
