Bear Bryant and Gene Stallings framed Cotton Bowl photo

Description

The 1968 Cotton Bowl Classic, part of the 1967 bowl game season, took place on January 1, 1968, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. The #8 Alabama Crimson Tide, coached by Paul “Bear” Bryant took on the Texas A&M Aggies coached by none other than Gene Stallings. Texas A&M won the game 20–16.

Coach Gene Stallings was both a former player and assistant coach under Bryant and was carried off the field to celebrate the victory by Bryant himself!!

It was the happiest Bear had ever been after a loss, as his protege’ proved his might with a victory over his one time mentor!

What a great photo celebrating this moment.
