Geocache Description:


NOTE: Serious geocachers carry their own tools. There may or may not be a pen in the cache!

This is one of a series of caches that commemorate the fifteen Division 1-A football national championships* won by The University of Alabama Crimson Tide. Each cache represents one of the NC wins and includes a brief story about the team. Links to the other hides in this series can be found in the bookmark listing to the right.

*There is a lot of debate among fans, foes, and interested observers on the real number. The actual number lies between 10 and 20. See (visit link) if you are a glutton for punishment...At any rate, 15 is what is claimed by the University, so 15 caches. Deal with it.



This cache commemorates the 1992 Alabama Crimson Tide team. The 1992 Tide, coached by Gene Stallings and led by a stifling defense, completed the regular season 11–0–0. They then defeated the Florida Gators 28-21 in the inaugural SEC Championship Game to win their 20th SEC title and attain a season record of 12–0–0. Alabama was invited to play #1–ranked Miami in the January 1, 1993 Sugar Bowl. Widely considered as overmatched longshots, Coach Stallings' team defeated the Hurricanes 34–13 to finish the season 13–0–0. The outstanding player of the game was Derrick Lassic. The 1992 Alabama football team was selected national champions by the AP and Coaches Polls.
