Alabama men meet in Texas

I ran across the above picture in Tuesday's Globe-News for a story on the groundbreaking of the $21 million athletic complex at West Texas A&M. Pictured are Texas A&M regent Gene Stallings (left) and WT President J. Patrick O'Brien looking at plans for the project.
One interesting note many may not know:
Stallings is a former head football coach at the University of Alabama and helped the Crimson Tide win a national championship in 1992.
O'Brien is a proud alumnus of Auburn University, ‘Bama's archrival.
Stallings is a Texas native and played football at Texas A&M under legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.
As a southern football enthusiast, I find it interesting when two people from a heated rivalry cross paths even when it has nothing to do with the schools.
