Favorite Sports Moment
Being at the 2009 Alabama football game where Terrance Cody used all of his 6-foot-5, 354-pound frame to break through Tennessee’s offensive line and swat down a game-winning field goal attempt with four seconds to play, preserving the Tide’s 12-10 lead. It was more than just a significant play or crazy ending to a thrilling victory. Mount Cody’s “Rocky Block” kept Alabama at No. 1, kept it unbeaten, and more importantly, kept the Crimson Tide in the hunt for the National Championship that they won for the first time since 1992. Roll Tide.
