On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

August 13, 1961: On a porch in a rocking chair at peaceful Jordan Farm near Alexander City, Paul Bryant answered questions of several state media representatives. When asked who his best athlete was and with the reporters expecting to hear names like Lee Roy Jordan, Pat Trammell or Mike Fracchia, Bryant proclaimed the best on the team was Bill Oliver from Livingston. "He's an athlete," said the big man. "When he moves, he moves." – Bryant Museum

August 13, 1973: Running back Sherman Williams was born in Mobile, Ala.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“I guess I’m just too full of Bama.” – Tommy Lewis after he ran off the sideline during the middle of a play and tackled Rice halfback Dickie Maegle in the 1954 Cotton Bowl.
