I don't care what your politics are, it's a Great Honor to be recognized by the President of The United States of America.

Thanks for the video.

I love the recognition he gives to the Rose Bowl teams, "when the Crimson Tide was sweeping across the United States."

I love the recognition he gives to the Rose Bowl teams, "when the Crimson Tide was sweeping across the United States."

And he said that it is good to see Alabama on top again.
Love it.

 

[Quicksilver]

Wow. That's really impressive.

 

[Al A Bama]

I just had to BUMP this up. The younger generation needs to listen to this.

I agree with Quicksilver! This was very impressive.

Thanks for posting. It makes us folks fill proud here in Cullman with a few players form our area on that team. These were the formative years of me becoming a Bama fan as I was 10 years old during this season. Listening to the games on AM radio is something that really makes me appreciate the state of the program these days.

Roll Tide Roll!!!!

Ahh such a great feeling. RTR!!!

Had not heard that before. Thanks for hooking us up, 251. My fave team.

I had not heard it either. I was born in '61 and my dad's nickname for me until I was 6 or 7 was Leeroy named after Leeroy Jordan of course. He loved that team and is still his favorite team. Thanks for posting.
