For those who enjoy seeing movie documentaries on the big screen, tickets are now on sale for "Nothing But A Winner: The Alabama Football Story", an hour and fifty minutes long movie style documentary about the University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team. "Nothing But A Winner" will be showing in movie theaters throughout Sweet Home Alabama on July 31st. With some showings also being available on August 01st.
While Nick Saban has earned the moniker of being "The GOAT", for being the greatest college football coach of all time, in "Nothing But A Winner", Nick Saban is shown stating that in his opinion the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant is the greatest college football coach of all time. With Nick Saban also explaining the price of victory via his analogy of climbing a mountain. For when you "successfully climb the mountain and are on top" what people don't realize is that then everybody is "shooting at you." A concept which Alabama football fans often describe as the "They hate us 'cause they ain't us" mindset.
The well thought of Coach Gene Stallings is featured in "Nothing But A Winner" as well as several stirring clips from former Alabama football players who recall the days before Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant integrated Alabama football with his recruitment of Wilbur Jackson in 1970, who was the first African-American football player to sign a scholarship with The University of Alabama Crimson Tide. While some teams such as Michigan State were fully integrated prior to that time, the fact that Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant led the way in integrating the National Championship winning Crimson Tide football team really impacted the sport on a national level.
"Nothing But A Winner", also emphasizes Coach Nick Saban's role in continuing the legacy established by Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, as Saban chose the first African-American freshman starting quarterback for what is described as college football's "biggest stage". Also included in the film are motivating quotes for Alabama fans such as "If you don't win a National Championship, that's a bad Alabama season." For as every 'Bama fan knows, Alabama has won 16 National Championships, with its most recent win coming in 2020.
While that number makes Alabama the team that has won the most National Championships in recent college football history, the team that has won the most National Championships overall in college football is actually still an Ivey League university. As Yale has won 18 National Championships, but their most recent one was in 1927. With Princeton coming in third place after Alabama in the National Championships count with 15 to their credit, with their most recent one being in 1922.
So for "Roll Tide!" fans who are longing to fill their college football void over the summer, tickets for "Nothing But A Winner" can be purchased at fathomentertainment.com underneath their "Upcoming Releases" tab.
