Here's a picture of William Travis "Bully" Van de Graaff from the '26 Corolla when BAMA won it's first National Championship. In 1915 Bully was selected as THE CRIMSON TIDE'S FIRST ALL AMERICAN. Bully was the freshman coach in '26 & later that year he took over as head coach of Colorado College in Colorado Springs. He was replaced as BAMA's freshman coach in '27 by DOTHAN'S JOHNNY MACK BROWN. That was the year we tied Stanford in the Rose Bowl & Johnny Mack moved to Hollywood to became a movie star. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_T._Van_de_Graaff
