New football facility or something like an office in general?
amen amen amenwork in a visit to a basketball arena, fellows. :wink:
Yes please. Burn Coleman to the ground and build a completely new facility. We have the money. We could name it Newton/Sanderson Fieldhouse.Work in a visit to a basketball arena, fellows. :wink:
Bama has had so many great players on both side of the ball over the years. But Derrick always was my deep down favorite. he just played like his life depended on every play. His early death hit me like a family member. So young so good, he was one of the nicest guys I ever met from a bama team. He really seemed to like interacting with fans. I truly think he was one of the few that really got it, the whole life thing. His smile would cheer up anyone.Who is your first ballot Hall of Famer? Derrick Thomas for me
Also some guy by the name of Paul Bryant(As a player and a coach).New basketball arena first. Then new swimming facility. Then HOF.
First ten in football HOF, in no particular order:
Don Hutson
John Hannah
Dwight Stephenson
Lee Roy Jordan
Derrick Thomas
Cornelius Bennett
Joe Namath
Kenny Stabler
Fred Sington
Johnny Mack Brown
I know I've left off dozens of candidates. But if you want to put in somebody else, you gotta say who gets booted and why.
No need to boot we have plenty of time to get all the greats in, just make sure the blueprints for building factors in expansion. I feel this building will need to grow for a long time.Also some guy by the name of Paul Bryant(As a player and a coach).
That's what I was thinking.Also some guy by the name of Paul Bryant(As a player and a coach).
The times I've done the podcast from the Bryant Museum with Taylor and his bunch, they put us in a room where there are about two dozen trophies they don't have display room for. And these are not insignificant trophies: Bowl trophies, I think some conference-related stuff in there, just a ton of memorabilia that if we were Vanderbilt, they would have it sitting under a neon sign in the middle of Music Row. But at Alabama it's sitting on the floor in the corner of a boardroom with an empty Coke can sitting in it.I hear it on good authority the new building is for trophies, we are expecting to expand beyond current areas capacity :biggrin:
Dixie Howell in . . . Johnny Mack Brown - not this time. In addition to Alabama, early NFL, and collegiate head coaching, also MLB . . . pitcher, i think.New basketball arena first. Then new swimming facility. Then HOF.
