ALABAMA ALUMNI & ALL BAMA FANS
THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL KICK-OFF DINNER!
The night was so much more than expected and we are more than excited with the turnout and want to thank Tyrone and Cecil for coming out for the event and we hope to have them back anytime!
A big, unexpected surprise and a huge thanks goes out to Siran Stacy. Siran has a powerful history and testimony. If you get a chance, I have included some links to read about Siran and it will help you get an understanding of just how special it is that Siran was able to show up and just how excited we are that he showed up.
Stacy was a football letterman at the University of Alabama from 1989-91 after spending two seasons at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. He was a two-year starter and two-time All-SEC performer in 1989 and 1991. During his Alabama career, he had 429 rushing attempts for 2,113 yards and 27 touchdowns.
