Ya gotta love this guy.
I'm old enough to remember Leon Douglas and Wendell Hudson, Anthony Murray and TR Dunn.
The epic Battles against Ernie and Bernie.
Mule King on the inside. Doug Layton on the mike.
I was pumped when we signed Bobby Lee Hurt and Enimo.
I watched Horry and McKey and Sprewell. And I saw Wimp go from being considered a joke to one of the best coaches in the college game.
But this guy, Avery Johnson, is going to take us higher. We've had the horses to win it all a couple of times... 76 and and 83 and 87 I believe. The teams that lost to Indian and NC and Providence shooting 81% from the floor...
But maybe, just maybe, if he stays, he'll finally get us there.
By the way, do any of you old guys remember the Alabama Public Broadcasting rebroadcasts of Bama games? I watched all of these when I was a young kid.
