Did You See? (Football!)

On This Date in Crimson Tide History:

March 12, 1935: Despite a cold wind, a large crowd turned out to watch the Crimson side defeat the White team 46-0 in the first practice game of the spring for the reigning national champions. Roy White and Bubber Nisbett, two new backs, "looked good" said head coach Frank Thomas. White made several touchdowns and passed to Paul “Bear” Bryant for one score.

March 12, 1990: Dont’a Hightower was born in Lewisburg, Tenn.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"I wish Coach Bryant were here to see this defense play." – Defensive Coordinator Bill Oliver about the '92 defense.

We’ll leave you with this …

If I’m a player in these conditions, I can’t wait to get to locker room. Pretty cool, last year’s @THEPLAYERSChamp champ stopped by to sign a few autographs for a couple of kids. 🤗 @ActionSportsJax @ESPN690Jax pic.twitter.com/UdzDv7MaJd
