Alabama's rather portentous football start in the 1890s ended on a positive note: most importantly, there was a team again. Finishing with a 3-1 record in Coach W.A. Martin's only season, the 1900 Corolla praised the reintroduction of the sport: "Athletics have made a greater advance than in any preceding year. For the past four years, our teams have been kept at home like children, but this year the guardians of the University have allowed them to visit twice a year in charge of a nurse to keep them from harm. Our football team was very light but nevertheless reflected great credit on our splendid coach, Mr. Martin."
T.W. Wert served as the captain of the team that beat Tuscaloosa Athletics, Montgomery Athletics and Ole Miss before losing to New Orleans Athletics in the Crescent City.
For its first decade of action, Alabama was 11-13. |

Notes: Bama played Ole Miss and New Orleans A.C. on back-to-back days. |
