Alabama Football
The University of Alabama law student William G. Little learned how to play American football while attending school in Andover, Massachusetts. He began teaching the sport to fellow Alabama students in early 1892. Early in the year the school formed an office team of 19 players, with Little as captain and E.B. Beaumont as head coach. Since then the program has won 21 SEC championships and 12 National championships. In addition to the 12 championships claimed by the university, the NCAA recognized Alabama as National champions for the 1945, 1966, 1967, and 1977 college football seasons, however those championships are not claimed by Alabama.

 Fishing is a multi-million dollar industry in Alabama. The state has both fresh water and salt water commercial fishing. Shrimp are the most valuable salt water seafood. Oysters, blue crabs, and red snappers and catfish are caught in freshwater streams. Bayou la Batre is sometimes called the seafood capital of Alabama. These small fishing villages are located in the south western corner of the state. Commercial fishing is important along the Gulf of Mexico. Bayou la Batre is the state's leading fishing port. Catfish farming is becoming increasingly important.
