Rachel Baribeau is joined by former Alabama player John Croyle on this edition of the “Joy in Sports” to talk about Bear Bryant and how Croyle’s Big Oak Ranch, which opened in 1974, continues to change lives in Alabama. Baribeau and Cryole share a story that has stuck with Croyle throughout the years.
“It’s the story of your coach in college, one Bear Bryant, and the whole reason this (Big Oak Ranch) is in existence besides your calling, besides your higher calling,” Baribeau said. “He had a huge part in that.”
Croyle remembers it well.
