4.0 out of 5 stars The Cimson Tide: An Illustrated History, November 26, 2000
By A Customer
A must have for the Tide Fan. A beautiful composed book of illustrations and short stories. From the first Alabama teams to some of the most recent rumbles, this book has it all...including some great memories of Bear Bryant and Friends. Hard covered with exquisitely glossed pages. The perfect gift for others, or a special surprise for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars As an Auburn fan, I was somewhat puzzled when I received, August 17, 2001
By A Customer
this book for a birthday gift. Naturally, I was reluctant to read it at first - it sat on my nightstand for months - and yet it seemed to call out to me in clarion tones of The Truth. When I finally indulged these entreaties, I realized I had undergone something of a conversion. At last, I can freely admit that Alabama football is the most complete expression of excellence in collegiate athletics. Roll Tide Roll

5.0 out of 5 stars A stellar look at a stellar program, June 24, 2001
By A Customer
Alabama has a football history that is truly second to none. Groom brings a storyteller's touch and a fan's enthusiasm to an exhaustive and impressive look at the Crimson Tide.

And to the reviewer who mentioned the lack of Central Florida being mentioned: the book was released in September, the UCF game was in October.

This book did not include a chapter on UCF Golden Knights spoiling Alabama's homecoming in 2000! Obviously, Alabama is afraid and has pie in their face and CANNOT ADMIT IT! Read more
