Six hours before kickoff, Kenneth Gaddy carries a new artifact into the Paul W. Bryant Museum. It’s an original newspaper tab from the 1982 Liberty Bowl — the last game “Bear” Bryant ever coached — donated by a Citrus Bowl representative visiting Tuscaloosa to watch No. 1 Alabama play Missouri on Saturday night.
The museum may never put the clipping on display. Gaddy, the director of the museum, said only 5 percent of artifacts make their way into the main exhibit.
There’s more Alabama football history than there is display space.
The Bryant Museum celebrated its 30th anniversary Monday.
