Nothing But Winners Nothing But Winners
It is nearly impossible to imagine, but football was once an unknown thing in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. But, that was well over a hundred years ago. In the early days, from 1893 to 1914, games were played on the 22-acre Quad, often against a hodgepodge of high school and athletic club opponents, and admission was often as much as a half-dollar (a good amount of money in the late 1800's). Now, games are played in Bryant-Denny Stadium, the fifth largest stadium in the nation, with a capacity of 101,821 and a television and internet audience of millions. Tickets are priced considerably higher, as well. Rick Rush's "Nothing But Winners" illustrates the most glorious eras in Alabama's long and storied football history.

 

 

The focal point of his painting is the National Championship winning coaches, from left-to-right:

* Wallace Wade, who won National Championships in 1925, 1926, and 1930
* Frank Thomas, who won National Championships in 1934 and 1941
* Paul "Bear" Bryant, who won National Championships in 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, and 1979

* Gene Stallings, who won a National Championship in 1992
* Nick Saban, who won a National Championship in 2009 and 2011

Away From It All "Away From It All" 
    by Thomas Kinkade

The moon watches over the forest's transition from day to night as the lone fisherman returns to his welcoming cabin after a long day on the river.  With the soothing sounds of the waterfall and the crackling of the campfire, his faithful companion waits patiently for his return.  It is my hope and prayer that as you journey with me, you will find the calm and inner peace one can discover being "Away From It All"  Thomas Kinkade
