On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

February 20, 1942: Arthur "Tarzan" White, an All-American for the Crimson Tide from 1934-36 who went to play in the NFL for the New York Giants, used a sleeper hold to defeat villain Mike Chacoma (no, he was not from Auburn) during White's first local pro wrestling appearance. Chacoma, known as the "Oklahoma Meanie," wanted a rematch with White, who, for the record, earned his Ph.D. from Columbia and earned Phi Beta Kappa honors at Alabama.

February 20, 1996: Lester Cotton Sr. was born in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"I was determined to block that field goal. There was no way I was going to let Alabama lose." – safety Stacy Harrison after blocking a field goal in the Tide's 9-6 win over Tennessee in 1990.

We'll Leave You With This:

Former Alabama golfer Dicky Pride had a hole-in-one at the Chubb Classic on Sunday. He finished tied for fourth place in the tournament.

ACE ALERT‼️

A hole-in-one for @DickyPride moves him to T2 and one back of the lead @ChubbClassic. pic.twitter.com/huvbhwB0ii
