šŸ’¬ Alabama Players or Coaches, Quotes of the day......

"One day, we had a game and we were at the school about to leave and coach [Mario] Cristobal came to the back and asked me to come out there [to Alabama] and take a visit just to see how it is. And I really, like this is the truth ā€¦ I told him, ā€˜No, Iā€™m not going to go out there. Iā€™m just going to go to Miami.ā€™ He was like, ā€˜Man, just come out there and take a visit.ā€™ So I really went out there and saw it, they were playing LSU. And it blew my mind how many people were at the game. I just committed. I called my mom and I told her I wanted to commit. And she was like, ā€˜Thatā€™s Alabama, thatā€™s far.ā€™ She was like, ā€˜Miamiā€™s right here.ā€™ And I was like, ā€˜No, itā€™s going to be better for me, winning championships.ā€™ I (wanted) to be a champion, so I did it.ā€ ā€“ Calvin Ridley, who was born on this date in 1994,
 
ā€˜Well, these sumbitches wouldnā€™t block anybody, I wanted to see if they could tackle somebody.ā€™ā€ Pat Tramell answer after calling a quick kick on 1st down against Auburn. Bill Battle told the story. :laugh:

ā€œWe were up big against Auburn, but Pat needed to do something to break a record, maybe throw another pass,ā€ said Battle, who went on to become head coach at Tennessee and later was Alabamaā€™s athletics director. ā€œSo (Bryant) put him back in after they took the first bunch out. And the first play, he called for a quick kick. He came over to the bench and coach Bryant asked, ā€˜what the crap are you doing?ā€™ (Trammell) said ā€˜well, these sumbitches wouldnā€™t block anybody, I wanted to see if they could tackle somebody.ā€™ā€
