"I thought Rick did an excellent job with what he had to work with. He captured the dedication I thought our players showed in beating Ohio State. We plan to hang the picture in our trophy room, so that future generations of Alabama fans can walk down memory lane."

“Rick is able to render the explosive essence of an action with more feeling of its reality than any numbers of actually moving images, such as those made possible by film, could do.”

“My goal is to look at sports and this sports lifestyle we are living and try to suspend that in time so people can come along 50 years later to see what it was like to be at that particular sporting event at that particular time.”
