Former Crimson Tide All-American spoke in Mobile Thursday
Updated: Oct. 19, 2023, 2:03 p.m.Johnny Musso, an All-America running back at Alabama in 1971, appeared Thursday at the "Partners for Purpose" fundraiser luncheon at the University of Mobile. “I’ve got a cigar waiting,” Musso said prior to a speaking engagement at the University of Mobile on Thursday.
“Tennessee was just a huge game,” said Musso, nicknamed “The Italian Stallion” a half-decade before Sylvester Stallone co-opted the moniker for the Rocky movie franchise. “It was just big. It wasn’t as big as Auburn, but it was the second-biggest game we played. My first two years as a varsity player, ‘69 and ‘70, we really didn’t have the results or the standard that the teams before us had, or the ones after us.
Musso still makes his primary home in Chicago, where he has enjoyed a highly successful career as a commodities trader. He said he took many of the lessons he learned from Bryant into his business and personal life. Musso appeared at the University of Mobile for its annual “Partners for Purpose” luncheon, one of the school’s primary fundraisers. Having worked in youth ministry for many years in addition his business career, he said he feels an obligation to “pass on my story” to the younger generation, in hopes of inspiring and encouraging them to excel in their own future endeavors.
