We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Last month James H. Faulkner Sr. passed away at 92. I don't have the words to express to you what he meant to this University and the state of Alabama. Many of us were lucky enough to know him personally. He was a great man. This past spring the coaching staff went down to visit him for a little bit. He was a big Faulkner football fan.
This season the Eagle football team will remember this legendary man by placing an helmet decal on everyone of the players that take the field this season. Lets face it, none of us would be where we are today without the great work and big heart of Brother Faulkner.
