Countdown to the Crimson Tide’s 2021 opener:

189 days

On this date in Crimson Tide history:

February 27, 1992: Adrian Hubbard was born in Washington, D.C.

Crimson Tide quote of the day:

''He was just an old-fashioned coach with old-fashioned values who had the one thing a lot of coaches and administrators preach, but too few actually have. He had integrity.'' – John Clay in The Lexington Herald-Leader after Jerry Claiborne died of a heart attack in 2000.
