On This Date in Crimson Tide History:
December 26, 1930: Alabama’s football team was the guest of former player Johnny Mack Brown at MGM Studios where Brown and Wallace Beery were starring in a gangster movie. The players caused a ruckus by laughing out loud when the former Alabama star escorted one of the gangster’s girlfriends on stage, and some were overheard saying, “He gets paid to have such fun.” After the studio visit, Wallace Wade took his squad to Occidental Field for a scrimmage in preparation for the upcoming Rose Bowl game against Washington State. – Bryant Museum
December 26, 1982: Kenneth Darby was born in Huntsville, Ala.
