1925 Alabama

So today was the primary media day for the Alabama-LSU game, and I can honestly tell you that the Crimson Tide is trying to to be as low-key as possible. It was 2-3 hours of "This is a big game, right?" followed by Nick Saban and the players answering, "Not really." Sure.

FYI, Alabama did this two weeks ago before it thumped Tennessee, 41-17. I guess it works for these guys, and figure LSU will be fired up enough as it us.

Yesterday I had a photo of LSU's most recent title, so here's one from the Tide's first, 1925. Coach Wallace Wade instructs his players on the sideline during the 1926 Rose Bowl, where Alabama defeated Washington, 20-19. Courtesy of the Paul W. Bryant Museum and the Tournament of Roses archives.
