The University of Alabama's gridiron dynasty began in 1892, sparked by a law student named William G. Little. Returning from prep school in Massachusetts, Little brought his love for football and introduced it to fellow students. That year, Alabama formed its first team, led by Little as captain and E.B. Beaumont as coach. Though their inaugural season was winless, the seeds were sown for a program that would rise to become one of the most dominant in college football history.
'Bama has an excellent tradition of quality pigskin play and is a perennial contender for their respective conference title and sometimes even the National Championship.
