On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

March 11, 1913: Jim Whatley, who played on the 1934 national championship team and earned 10 varsity letters and six SEC titles in football, baseball, basketball, and track, was born in Tuscaloosa. 

March 11, 1929: Earl Smith, captain of the '28 football team, a top player on the basketball team and the school record holder in the broad jump, announced his intention of playing baseball in an effort to become a four-sport letterman. Ironically, the Haleyville native initially went to Alabama to play baseball. He did not play football in high school. – Bryant Museum

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day

”At the end of the day, you know he played for Nick Saban so you know he's tough." – Frank Bush, who was on the Houston Oilers coaching staff (1988-89) with Nick Saban
