Nice nostalgia.  Remember the USC game when Bama came out in the wishbone?

 Applause E-Cred  Thanks.  E-cred to you!

One of the biggest wins in Bama history was the win over USC.  But it wasn't on TV; one of the biggest disappointments during my college days.

I was at my grandparents in Hattiesburg, Ms. My grandfather and I searched everywhere trying to find a score on the game. We didn't find out until the next morning. We couldn't believe it. He was a big Bama too. Both of us were very happy that morning.

He died of a heart attack in 1975 watching Mizzou beat us on TV.  Sad

I remember the game usc creamed us with sam "bam" cunnigham. Then coach Bryant got the wishbone from Coach Royal over at Texas and we a great time running that for a long time. I remember when Musso dove from about the 5 yard line and landed in the end zone against auburn. 1973 in Nov. My dad had died on the 3rd that was all the pleasure I got till the next year I guess. RTR!

Rest of the story:

We had a big pep rally on campus the night before Bama flew west to play USC.  Must have been Thursday night.

We all gathered in front of the library, but the team wasn't present (as they usually were).  A cheerleader went to the microphone and said, "Coach Bryant sends his apologies; they are practicing tonight."

I started yelling that we should go to the practice field, and soon everyone started the chant.  We all walked over there; group of about 100-200 students.  Coach Bryant allowed the gates to be opened, and we walked onto the field and cheered the team.

I'd like to think that helped us win.  We'd gone 6-5 the previous 2 seasons, and we were all tired of losing.  None of us knew Bama had a wishbone offense.  I certainly didn't notice that night.
