He was the quarterback for the 1999 SEC Championship team that beat Florida twiceQ in one season, once &A in The Swamp and once in Atlanta. He sat down with GameDay to discuss his career with the Tide, as well as the tradition of the Tennessee rivalry. GameDay: How were you recruited to the Crimson Tide? Andrew Zow: Well, it was a good recruiting process with Coach [Gene] Stallings talking to me during my senior season. Coach [Mike] Dubose started talking to me, and after I tore my ACL he kept talking to me telling me to keep my head up. He became humble, and he got to know my family well. He was great. GD: What was one team you looked forward to playing most? AZ: Florida. I know that is strange, but being from Florida, I got to play all the guys I played with or against in high school, and it was even better if we would beat them because all my family and friends were Florida fans. But, I also loved playing Tennessee. I could never stand that orange color. It was just gross. GD: What are your thoughts on the Tennessee rivalry? AZ: I never liked Tennessee. Our team never did. I was never Bryant Museum able to beat Tennessee, and it is why today I cannot stand that Former Alabama quarterback Andrew Zow broke school records for total off ensive “rocky top” song or that orange color.

The Is this true? games are always close and the fans love it. It is a reason the SEC is so great. But I strongly dislike Tennessee. AZ: I guess it’s been long enough to stop hiding it. [laughs] It is true. I was a freshman, and I wanted to go home. I had no idea what that GD: You have multiple records at Alabama. Do you ever see how game meant. I did not know the impact of that game and watching it in close Greg McElroy is coming to breaking one of your records? my living room at home made me realize what the impact was.
