No telling where this program would be had he not come along, but I have a pretty good idea and it ain’t good.

It couldn’t be much worse

Arkie is bottom of the west.

And a fine Good Morning to you sir!
My father went to the back yard and cried the day Bryant passed away.
More than likely I have attended more Bama games than the majority of this board including you. As for the Iron Bowl including Birmingham. Auburn and T-town I have lost count how many I hsve attended.
Fountainbleau Hotel, New Orleans, La December 1973.....at 15 years old my father and I had breakfast with Bryant. Personally watched Bama play Natty's against Notre Dame twice, Ohio State, Arkansas and Penn State and Nebraska. My high school football coach played for Bryant. Next door neighbor was a MAJOR recruiting booster for Bama in the town I grew up in. I know the dirt!
Bryant was a God in the state and there was a hell of a lot more to this story that was covered up.
The Post did not go bankrupt but ceased publishing for only two years. The only ones stupid were the attorneys for the Post who boggled the case.
"In 1962 an Atlanta businessman was accidentally tied into a phone line on which Wally Butts, athletic director of the University of Georgia, was talking to Paul "Bear" Bryant, football coach and athletic director of the University of Alabama. Butts gave Bryant information about the Georgia team's plays and the businessman took notes, which eventually made their way to the president of the university. Butts was allowed to resign. Information about the affair spread to the Saturday Evening Post then engaged in a "sophisticated muckraking" campaign which published a hastily written and partially inaccurate account. Butts and Bryant both sued the Post; Butts won over $3 million in damages. Kirby, who was the official observer at Butts's trial for football's Southeastern Conference, here offers his own verdict: both Bryant and Butts were guilty of collusion as charged and lied repeatedly; the Post's lawyers were inept and should not have lost the case."
Let us not forget about U.W. Clemon either. I have more.
You can call me an idiot all day and twice on Sunday. Doesn't bother me one bit.

I'm from Tuscaloosa. I sold peanuts at Denny Stadium as a kid BEFORE Coach Bryant got back to Alabama. I was a member of the Scholarship Club when I was younger, AND Coach Bryant knew me and my parents, so don't waste my time with your bullshite.
And as for the dissertation you wrote, it boils down to excuse making and "old news", and by its length, I can tell that "Doesn't bother you one bit."

I'd probably go with Walmart on this one.
