UA has not always been associated with the elephant. In fact, it was not until 1930 that Alabama and elephants were linked. During that season, Sports Writer Everett Strupper of the Atlanta Journal wrote a story describing the Alabama-Ole Miss football game. He described the Alabama players’ size and power:
“At the end of the quarter, the earth started to tremble, there was a distant rumble that continued to grow. Some excited fan in the stands bellowed, ‘Hold your horses, the elephants are coming,’ and out stamped the Alabama varsity. It was the fist time that I had seen it, and the size of the entire eleven nearly knocked me cold; men that I had seen play last year looking like they had nearly doubled in size.”
