Bammer of the Day

This is an email my future Bammer father-n-law sent me. Mind you, he grew up in Pennsylvania a Nittany Lion fan and his family are Auburn fans, but I digress. I just replied back with a picture of his first born wearing an Auburn shirt. There's no response to that!

I'll bet some form of this has come out with every coach they've had in the last 10 years. I love the part, "a great photograph of the three last week" as if it's real and Forrest Gump isn't a fictional character played by the guy from Bosom Buddies and he really did run that kick back for a touchdown.

Some interesting facts…a great photograph taken of the three last week

Both coaches coached at 3 universities before coming to Alabama.
Both coaches coached 1 year at their first coaching job.
Both coaches came to the University of Alabama with 91 wins.
Both coaches won their 100th game in their 2nd season at Alabama.
The 100th win was against Tulane for both coaches.
Even more interesting is the total points in the game against Tulane…you guessed it, the same (26) for Bryant 19-7, Saban 20-6.
Both coaches struggled with going to the pros and Bryant changed his mind, Saban did not but it was the same team, (Miami Dolphins) and it led to both getting back to Alabama.
ALABAMA was the second stop in the SEC for both of them and will most likely be where they both retire.

Plus, "AN" are the 4th and 5th letters of both of their last names!

Wow! That's pretty bad. I am a Bama fan too, but wow!
