Gino Toretta and Me



If you are an Alabama fan, then you love to see pictures of the last national championship the Crimson Tide won, the Sugar Bowl of 1992. Gene Stalling led an Alabama team with a top ranked defense, and an unproven quarterback (Jay Barker, who like myself, is a Hewitt-Trussville High School grad), against a undefeated Miami team. Alabama destroyed the Hurricanes and intercepted their quarterback 3 times. The Miami quarterback won the Heisman Trophy that year. His name was Gino Torretta. I had a chance speak with Gino last weekend at the Alabama v. South Carolina game. Roll Tide Gino...Roll Tide!
