Crimson Tide Madness: Great Eras in Alabama Football
by Wilton Sharpe
Ten national championships, twenty-one SEC championships, twenty College Football Hall of Famers, and the most legendary coach in college football history...
The Alabama Crimson Tide—the sixth-winningest college football team ever—has rolled down a historic highway with many greats illuminating the way: Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler, Cornelius Bennett, Johnny Mack Brown, Johnny Musso, Major Ogilvie, Steve Sloan, Wallace Wade, Ozzie Newsome, Harry Gilmer, Don Hutson, Lee Roy Jordan, Johnny "Hurry" Cain, and the greatest of coaching legends, Paul "Bear" Bryant—Tide icons all.
Crimson Tide Madness is the story of University of Alabama football as told by the players, coaches, opponents, fans, and media. It salutes the great stars, teams, moments, rivalries, venues, fans, and tradition of Alabama football, including chapters on the all-time Alabama team plus all nine national championship rosters.
From the Dothan Antelope to the Wizard of Oz, from the Snake to the Bear, and from Dixie to Joe Willie, it's all Tide.
