College football is a sport unlike any other because of its roots in tradition. Just about every program has some sort of tradition, whether it be old or relatively new, that fans look forward to. For Alabama, there are a few. However, the Walk of Champions ranks the highest.
In a recent ranking of SEC football traditions from USA TODAY’s Eddie Timanus, the Crimson Tide’s short pregame walk from the bus to the stadium ranks in the highest possible tier.
“The Walk of Champions – It’s a brief opportunity for the Crimson Tide players to interact with their supporters as they debark from their team bus upon arrival at Bryant-Denny Stadium,” writes Timanus. “The short pregame greeting also serves as a reminder of just how the Tuscaloosa community is wedded to the success of the Crimson Tide.”
With a sea of Crimson Tide fans parted right down the middle, Saban, his coaching staff and the entire roster make their way into Bryant-Denny Stadium to prepare for the upcoming game.
This tradition, among others, are why Alabama and college football fans alike are anxiously awaiting the start of the 2023 season.
