TUSCALOOSA -- The Paul W. Bryant Museum at The
University of Alabama will present the first installment
of its "Crimson Classics" series on the University's
WVUA-7 television station on Sunday, Dec. 5 at 3 p.m.
The one-hour broadcast is the first in a series
highlighting some of the most exciting victories in the
history of Crimson Tide football.
The first broadcast, titled "Victory in the Swamp,"
details the 1999 Alabama-Florida overtime game in
Gainesville, Fla. In addition to plays from the game,
interviews with players and media personalities will
help tell the story. Featured players Shaun Alexander,
Andrew Zow, Antonio Carter, Marvin Constant and Chris
Samuels will give insight to the victory.
Gary Harris, sports anchor for WVUA 7, is the host of
"Crimson Classics," which is produced by the Bryant
Museum in cooperation with the UA Center for Public
Television and Radio (CPTR).
"CPTR's experience in producing documentaries was a
perfect fit for this series," said CPTR Director
Elizabeth Brock. "Our producers have expertise in
telling great stories well, and these games certainly
have some great stories."
DVDs of the first "Crimson Classics" broadcast will go
on sale Monday, Dec. 6 at the Bryant Museum. The DVDs
will include extended interview segments, the radio
broadcast of the game and photographs -- all features
not seen on the broadcast version. DVDs are $24.95 each
plus tax and shipping.
"These DVDs will make great holiday gifts for Bama
fans," said Ken Gaddy, Bryant Museum director. "These
are brand new DVDs that no fan will already have, and
the DVD version offers many extras that will not be
shown on the television broadcast."
DVD pre-orders will be offered to the Bryant Museum E
Club list. To sign up for the E Club, go to the museum's
Web site and submit your e-mail address. There is no
cost to join. The E Club list receives periodic updates
on museum events and special offers including the

Classics."
