When ESPN.com staff asked the question “What is the best college football town in America?”, they examined why Tuscaloosa might be the answer. Included in their reasoning is the Paul W. Bryant Museum!

Why Tuscaloosa is a great college town: You can get a fabulous pork chop at Five and great sushi at Chuck’s, but the real appeal of a visit to the home of the University of Alabama is the sense of college football history it offers. At the Waysider, you can eat biscuits and gravy where Paul “Bear” Bryant once sat. At the Bryant Museum, you can see scores of football artifacts, even a Waterford crystal replica of the Bear’s famous houndstooth hat. And, as you head into Bryant-Denny Stadium for kickoff, you can stroll through the Walk of Champions, the home to statues of Bryant and Gene Stallings and every other Bama head coach to win a title, Nick Saban included. — Alex Scarborough
