Did they tell the one about where the Southern California Trojan Football Team of 1970 and their coach, John McKay, saved the UAT Crimson Turd football program and Bear's job at UAT!!!
hees a funny story : A woman and her sister were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of nuts. As they were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if they needed any help. The woman replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts." The sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, and she turned beet red and walked away."
I was told a story where Bear used to eat breakfast and the waitress asked him what he wanted. Coach Bryant said, "I want my eggs burnt a litte on the side, toast burnt around the edges etc." The waitress said, "Now Coach we can't cook it like that". He said, "the hell you can't, you did it yesterday".
Here's a "Bear" story that's never been shared. At the old Bama Drive-in coffee shop, I used to have coffee and donuts before my first class. I'd see Coach Bryant there sitting in a booth alone drinking coffee, reading the B'ham Post Herald. One time I walked over to him and said, "Hi, Coach, are we going to win Saturday?" He growled back, "Well, we'll show up. We might have to leave the stadium at halftime just to save the equipment." Two days later Bama annihilated NC State.
There were some epic battles between Hanna and White but in an Inside Sports interview, Hannah confided that White was one of the few tackes he could not control. The battles I have of them on tape are about 50/50 but almost always, Hannah had assistance from the center. No mistake though, Hannah was the best!
John Hannah could not stand BEAR BRYANT. He has repeatedly said SO!!! He actually came close to attending and playing for John McKay at USC.

John Hannah is one hell of a guy. He's one of our hometown heroes in Albertville, and he was one hell of a football player.
