Crimson Nation

The '25, '61, '78, '79, and '92 national championships, the first game under Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry, the Alabama-Auburn rivalry, and twelve more power-packed memorable moments make up the legend of Alabama Football. Eli Gold brings these memories to life with the same clarity and fervor that fans have come to love as they listen to football on the radio. Featured are legendary Alabama players and coaches including Joe Namath, Johnny Musso, Kenny Stabler, Gene Stallings, Harry Gilmer, Don Hutson, and other names that are still part of everyday conversation in Alabama, regardless of when they attended the university. So much of what was great at Alabama is because of the leadership and influence of Bear Bryant, and his story is told as well as his part in the story of every one of these important moments. Set roughly in chronological order with photographs throughout, "Crimson Nation" is a journey back through time that every true Alabama fan must own.Gold, Eli is the author of 'Crimson Nation ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781401601904 and ISBN 1401601901.
