Bama Trivia...

on this day

5/18/1979

Coach Paul Bryant goes back to Texas for a reunion with his 1954 Texas A&M team, the famed squad taken to Junction, Tex., for what was termed a "football boot camp." Only 27 players returned from the Junction to play for Texas A&M and 23 of those were at the reunion. While Bryant is out of town, the Birmingham News reports the league coaches are picking Alabama to repeat as SEC Champions but only two Bama players receive "best awards." Dwight Stephenson is listed as the "best offensive lineman" and Major Ogilvie the "best blocker in the SEC."

  Alabama fans had become accustomed to winning and a 6-3 season, including a disappointing 15-13 loss to Tennessee in Tuscaloosa, was considered inadequate. For the first time Alabama traveled to meet a member of the current Big 10 and that, too, was a failure when Wisconsin beat Bama 15-0. No Alabama player earned all-star honors in '28. Closing the season with a 19-0 win over Georgia and a 13-0 conquest of LSU eased some of the pain.  
 
Notes: Plans to build Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa are underway.
