If I heard it right tonight during the broadcast of the Arky-Ole Miss game, expect to hear from Bryant Jr being interviewed on next Tuesday on the local CBS channel in Bham. If my ears were playing tricks on me, sorryyyy.

WIAT just gave a nice sports report live from Tuscaloosa that highlighted UAB's great game today and also had local reporting with video highlights of the game.

I cannot possibly fathom that he would consent to an interview!

Expect a whole lot of nothing, peppered with patronizing BS, if he does.

Maybe its to announce the construction of Bryant Bank Stadium on the southside????? Probably not, but I really think that I heard that they said something about broadcasting an interview with him.

They did BD, now I wonder what player's dad gave the Clark info

What?

Will he get to write both the questions AND the answers?

IMO, PBJ doing a news interview doesn't seem like a good sign. I doubt he's gonna go on the news to deliver us good news.

He never has in the past.

He probably has a simple message for us.

It is Iron Bowl week, and looks like it was filmed already in the promo I saw online.

It is filmed already. A guy I know who works at WIAT was editing it.

Should we media blitz WIAT and see if we can get it pulled?

Ha, I asked him if anyone thought to call him an a**hole to his face. He said no, no one at WIAT is that brave.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WIAT) — Coach Paul Bear Bryant was the stuff of legends. He is widely considered to be the greatest coach of all time with 323 wins and 6 national championships under his belt. WIAT 42′s own Leigh Garner had the honor of sitting down to a rare and exclusive interview with his son, Paul Bryant Junior.

Bryant shares his own insights on football, his famous coach father, and Alabama’s new championship streak, not to mention memories of a team that’s close to Bryant’s heart. It’s the 50 year anniversary of the tide’s 1964 national championship team, and Bryant was friends with many of the players, since he was in college at Alabama at the same time.

“I’m like everybody else. As a fan that–I would like to have been doing that, without all the work they’d been through,” explains Bryant. “You know, they really had real demands on their time and demands on them physically, and they made sacrifices to play football.”

See more in the full exclusive interview with Paul Bryant Junior airing on Tuesday, November 25th on WIAT 42 News at 10:00.

So noone at WIAT is willing to risk thier job? Seems like our AD isn't alone. Thank goodness for Scarbinsky and Archibald !!!

Fluff piece. "Honor to sit down" with him? Just because of who is daddy is. Crap.

I can't watch it right now, so i don't know if anything else in the video.

Doesnt sound like its UAB related.
