By Alan Plastin

If you are trying to find a way to make your personal checks more interesting and you're a fan of the University of Alabama, then there is no better way to show your pride in your favorite team than to feature them on your bank checks. It's inexpensive, and easy to do, and you can let the whole world know what a devoted fan you are.

Founded in'31, the University of Alabama is a public university located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Sometimes called "the Capstone" within the state, even though it is a large and valued university, the bulk of the attention is given to its athletic programs.

With its athletic teams being called the Crimson Tide, the school participates in the Southeastern Conference in the Western Division of the NCAA's Division I. The--,600 seat Coleman Coliseum and its 92,000 seat Bryant-Denny Stadium are its two main athletic facilities.

Alabama's main rivals are the University of Tennessee and Auburn University. The annual Alabama-Auburn game is even referred to as the "Iron Bowl." The nickname "Crimson Tide" actually started during the Iron Bowl in'07. Auburn was forced to accept a tie with Alabama after a well fought game on both teams' parts. A sportswriter referenced the team's crimson jerseys and stated that it looked like a "Crimson Tide" afterwards.

The most popular athletics program of all is the football program. It started its run in'92 and is one of the country's deep-rooted and respected football programs. The University of Alabama has garnered 21 SEC titles and 12 national championships. In addition to this, they have had 55 bowl appearances, winning 32 of them. They have also given the country' hall-of-famers and 96 All-Americans.

Even though the men's basketball program is often overshadowed by the football program, it follows only Kentucky in SEC tournament titles, SEC basketball wins, and regular season titles. Alabama has also had 7 NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances and has the second most NCAA tournament victories without reaching the final four.

Like most universities, there are several big traditions at the school. The official mascot, an elephant called "Big Al" was chosen by a campus wide contest. A bonfire is ignited and a pep rally is held on the evening before the school's homecoming day and a parade is held the next morning in order to launch the day's festivities. Lastly, devoted fans like to give the "Rammer Jammer" cheer after a big victory.

If your dedication to the Crimson Tide is irrefutable then you need the Alabama Number One Fan series. These are for the fans that are never afraid to talk to a television camera and don't mind ranting and raving at the coach. You can also buy the University of Alabama checks that have the official logo and school colors. Coordinating address labels, stickers, and matching checkbook covers are available for extra along with both of these check series.

By ordering your checks online from a safe website you can save as much as 50% off of the cost of checks. Plus, they will get to you in just a couple of days.
