This appears to be something that is only being shown on Alabama Public Television. That's too bad. But fortunately, for the rest of us, the Bryant Museum is selling it on DVD and Blu-Ray.
Thanks, as always, TideMan!
Something, however, tells me that, even w/o checking the local TV guide, PBS will have some sort of Save the Whales feature on up here...

My favorite quote from Coach Stallings on Junction: "I never gave quitting a thought. I did want to die".
Finally got a chance to watch. I liked it. Then I accidentally erased it. I wanted to watch again but in my haste to watch Attack on Titan I goofed.
Notice in the trailer at 1:15, two LSU cheerleaders giddily approach Coach Bryant to shake the hand, not of a bitter rival, a despised foe, but of a legend, a true celebrity. And of course, he graciously acknowledges their presence, when he certainly had much more important things on his mind - like beating LSU.
Similarly, I recall seeing a posed photo of Coach Bryant standing in the midst of the entire Tennessee cheerleading squad, I am guessing, circa 1975. (In the mid-to late 80s there was a bar on The Strip in what once was Morrison's Cafeteria, where this framed photo was displayed.) Coach Bryant had a magnetism and charisma that if you didn't experience it, it's hard to explain, but it was bigger than the game. Maybe it's still common practice for starry-eyed fans and cheerleaders to greet opposing coaches, but I would tend to doubt it - too much of security risk these days.
