Alabama fan
loved Crimson
Tide to death
Alabama fans are known for their
football spirit. Some never miss a
game. Some bleed crimson. But
Rufus Strickland found a way to go
one better.;
Strickland, known to his friends as,
"Strick," planned a posthumous
tribute to the Crimson Tide. Above
his headstone, in a cemetery directly
across from Bryant-Denny Stadium,
a sign reads, "Roll Tide Roll, Strick
and Friends." There is also an ,
inscription on his tombstone that
says, "Hi. Thanks for stopping by. . -
Stick."
His widow, Faye Strickland, says Rufus Stricdand proclaims
Strick designed the headstone and
inscription at least three years before his death last July.
"He planned his grave site like that because he wanted all
of his friends to come see him on the way to the game,"

Fanatical alums are accepted as

Athens College, but quit to enroll in

Strick's decorative grave. On the
