Paul "Bear" Bryant. One of the last Real College Football Coaches, and a Man's Man. Total class...

Aww. I -3 it! Thanks for posting!

Miss you Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant! My momma called me right after Alabama shut out LSU 2 days ago when Alabama won "our" 14th National Championship Title! Most of us still wear houndstooth & will continue to do so. I'm just old enough to remember you & your Sunday talk show. I still eat my Lay's chips & drink my coca-cola! :) RTR, Coach!

Said as only a Man like him could do. And I wish I could call/speak to both of my parents as well?

This used to put a lump in my throat back when it first came out, and I had a Mama. It's a killer now. Greatest commercial ever made...

You're not alone, Coach Bryant.

I lived off the Super H'wy which ran from Tuscaloosa to B'ham, where most of the games were played at that time. The team arrived at the Holiday Inn Fri. nights, a few mi. from stadium. Next day, kids, and some adults would line the streets as the busses passed.The players, in dress clothes with crimson ties never acknowledged this.... He was buried in B'ham. The procession wasn't traveling the Super H'wy; it was on the new Interstate, but both sides of it were filled with fans as before.

He died shortly after making this commercial. It was immediately pulled.

I remember when this commercial was just out. We all thought it was kind of a cheap emotional string pull for them to make him say "I sure wish I could call mine" meaning his mother. It later was reported that they did not ask Bryant to say that, that he came up with it on his own. I still wonder if that is true.

@Bripants101 I too am female, and had met Bear by the time I turned 13. He was one of a kind. Your comment is quite touching.....

Roll Tide!
