Many people think of Alabama as the State for football. I believe Paul William "Bear" Bryant made the name. The coach for Alabama for 25 years, winning six national titles 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, and 1979 he brought a new way to football in Alabama. Having Joe Namath at quarterback between 1962-1964 is when the Crimson Tide really shined.
