On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

February 2, 1931: New head coach Frank Thomas welcomed 90 football candidates to his first spring practice session. Besides working on conditioning, Thomas began introducing the Notre Dame box formation the Crimson Tide would utilize in the fall. According to Thomas, the backs were awkward and ill-at-ease on the first day of practice.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"George Wallace called Bryant weekly. The reason was he was scared that Bryant would run for governor, because he'd win. Auburn people would vote for him, too, so he'd not coach anymore." — Alabama offensive lineman John Hannah

We'll leave you with this...

Former Alabama assistant and current Kennesaw State head coach Antoine Pettway and his wife Kim attended the Crimson Tide's road victory at Georgia.
