Coming Fall 2008

The official commemorative book for Alabama football!

In this place where crimson-clad college students play what many would consider just a game, Crimson Tide football proves week in and week out that it is much, much more. It permeates the consciousness of a state whose yearly rhythms are measured by the crack of helmets and the slap of pads. It is a living entity that is more than just 100 years of winning tradition, more than any one player, coach, or fan, more than any singular championship season or winning team. It is the emotion and spirit and joy of football at its purest and best, as only the University of Alabama experiences it. Tradition: The Pride of Bryant-Denny is that story, drawn from some of 'Bama's most colorful characters as well as an archive of stunning photos that celebrate the autumn atmosphere of Bryant-Denny Stadium.
