I friend of mine is doing the stadium renovation at BDS and sent me the below email and pictures. A bit strange but true...

"As most of you know I am currently working at Bryant Denny stadium. On
the plaza that is the size of 2 football fields, we will have 5, one and
a half size bronze statues of the four national championship coaches in
Alabama history and one future pedestal. We have removed an old
fraternity house and four to five feet of dirt over this entire huge
site over the past few months. We have found nothing of any significance
underground the whole time. Today when the contractor started digging
the small 3ft. by 3ft. foundation for the third statue which will be
coach Bryant's statue, he unearthed a Rawlings football! It isnt old and
it isnt even leather, but it was buried approximately 5 ft. deep below
the original surface in the precise spot that coach Bryant's statue will
be placed.

I know this sounds like a hoax but I saw it with my own eyes and can
assure you it's true. Roll Tide!"

That's really weird. Are we sure nobody snuck in there in the last week or so and buried it where the plan said the statue would go?

If not, that's almost creepy.
 
I wonder the last time construction or any excavation took place at that site? If some students or other people were tossing a football and it fell into a hole that got covered up, that makes the most sense to me.

Good point. I didn't think about that. I was trying to figure out why somebody would bury a football five feet down.
 
That's really weird.....

I could see someone planting a football a few feet (2ft. max) under the ground. However, removing that much dirt would require alot of time and energy.

I cannot imagine someone removing five feet of dirt to bury a stupid football.... :)

I have never worked for a utility company (gas, cable, electric) so I am not sure how far they dig down to repair a line.

The odds of a football being found five feet under the earth, at the future foundation of Coach Bryant's statue.....

I think it is a sign ;)


More than likely, the football was left in a low-lying area,
(such as a ditch) and it could have gotten covered gradually by nature.

What strikes me as odd is the fact that the football isn't acient and it was found five feet down. Those two facts put together, point towards foul play, or destiny.....one of the two,

I manage a sewer company and we put our lines 3 feet below the surface. Utilities are usually buried between 3 to 4 feet deep. I have never heard of any utitliy line going down 5 feet. I wonder if this wasn't part of some weird frat ritual.
 
Can't you see? It's a sign!! Just as he struck a thunderstorm to save us from Ole Miss, he has told us that the NCAA will deflate football! Unfortunately, he thought we would have had the stadium expansion 15 years ago after giving away the Iron Bowl to the cow college (perhaps was dizzy from all the rolling in the grave and got the dates confused).
 
I lost a Houndstooth coozie, an entire cooler, and a pair of sunglasses somewhere around the Quad and/or the band practice field. Have them keep a look out for me!
