I don’t know where my wife found it but I have the entire history of Alabama football scores and cutouts from newspapers in a book that she got me as a gift for Christmas. It’s awesome even though the print is tiny and I sometimes need to use a magnifier to read it. One of the greatest gifts I ever received. I’m enjoying your column very much. The history of football surely isn’t what people really think. Lol
