Talk:Big Al (mascot)

Alfred Lee Brown
This explanation of the "Big Al" name was formerly featured on the page. There is no citation for it, and as it involved a living person, I thought it best to remove it until someone can provide a reference:

"One of the names was 'Big Al', which was also the name of a 'well-known about campus' member of the University of Alabama Rugby Football club, Alfred Lee 'Big Al' Brown, now living in the Birmingham, AL area. Brown was known as the 'DJ' for the club's after-match parties. When the members of the Rugby Club saw that 'Big Al' was among the selections, they lobbied among the many attenders of the club's somewhat infamous parties to come to the Student Union and vote for that name.  And So, the mascot was named for a popular Sports Figure  on the campus of that era. Other members of the team, such as Ellis Rudd of Trussville, Walker Scott of Birmingham, and Frederick D. Bone of Northport were all present, and part and parcel to this act and to this day point out Brown in the community as namesake to Big Al the mascot." --Dystopos (talk) 17:27, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
