Hello to all my fellow Crimson Tide fans. I've been following TideFans for years and finally decided to join in. I'm a graduate of Jacksonville State U but also an avid Bama fan. I just cant help it as I was born and raised in a "Bama" family!. My earliest memories were sitting with my mother, father and sisters listening to Bama football on the radio! I can vividly recall my father saying "now we have ourselves a football coach" when he heard about Bama's hiring of Coach Bryant in late 57 ... fifty years later I said the same thing to my son upon hearing of Coach Nick Sabans hiring in early 07! Looking forward to some great times ahead ....ROLL TIDE
