Jay Barker, you da man!




Jay Barker, the winningest quarterback in Alabama history (35 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie), is getting married to the damned fine Sara Evans.

What a mega-pimp!

Jay has always been a favorite of mine. He led Alabama to the 92 championship and was the very epitome of the "game-manager" quarterback. He didn't have the biggest arm or the quicks, but he was a leader, a clutch player and he didn't make mistakes. At all.


Barker played in one of the greatest Tide wins ever in '94 in Bryant Denny against Georgia and he drove Alabama down the field for Michael Proctor's game-winning FG, 29-28. It was one of the greatest mano-y-mano QB duels, with Eric Zeier on the Georgia side in SEC history.
