Bear Redux


As mentioned in my previous post, here is the infamous photo and graph of the fateful meeting of Coach Bryant. This was taken from the March, 1981 issue of the Alabama Alumni Bulletin. According to the article, the banquet was on December 5th, 1980, a year after we beat Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl to win our 11th National Championship. Incidentally (and I remember this vividly), I predicted the score would be 24-10, Bama; the actual final score was 24-9. How clairvoyant I was at that age. Hell, with glasses that appalling, I had to be at least somewhat astute.
