• Fun Facts: UA is one of only eight universities in the nation that has a men's and women's wheelchair basketball program. Hoole Library has a rare books collection featuring significant documents describing the travel and exploration of early America. The earliest print is a rubricated copy of the Missale Romanum, printed in Venice, which dates to the late 15th century. The legendary coach, Paul "Bear" Bryant, once said that he would "croak in a week" if he were ever to stop coaching. Bryant passed away only twenty seven days after his final game. Legendary coach, Paul Bryant, earned the nickname "Bear" after wrestling a bear at the carnival. He did so to impress a girl and for the winnings (the carnival was to pay him one dollar per minute). Bryant was not given the winnings and sustained a bite to the ear from the wrestling. The story goes that "Crimson Tide" was a nickname made popular by Zipp Newman following an Alabama vs. Auburn game where the teams played in a 'sea' of red mud. In addition "Roll Tide" is so called because the vision of the Alabama team running onto the field resembles a tide rolling in. The Million Dollar Band apparently got its name from W.C. "Champ" Pickens in 1922. The band set a goal to raise enough money to purchase a new sleeper coach. The fundraising efforts were a success. "Champ" was so impressed that he dubbed the group the "Million Dollar Band." The University of Alabama is referred to as "The Capstone" by friends of the University and alumni. The term was coined by a former UA President G.H. Denny.
