Bama Quote #059

John Croyle spoke at a prayer breakfast in Anniston sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He started talking about his first days at Alabama and how he felt pretty cocky being a defensive player. Early in practice Coach Bryant came down from the tower and said that today we were going to separate the wolves from the sheep. Coach Bryant started calling out names for one on one drills. "Croyle," he barked. Croyle lined up, confident he was a wolf. Coach Bryant barked out another name, "HANNAH!" Croyle said the largest hairiest thing he had ever seen lined up across from him...the whistle blew, and Croyle screamed I'm Blind, I'm Blind... After a pause, Coach Bryant walked over, said "Croyle stop your whining" and then turned my helmet back around to the way it was supposed to be - with the hole up front.

Roll Tide!
