Joe Namath Back at Bama

Broadway Joe was back on campus, finally getting a diploma to go with his football accolades.Joe Namath, who won a national championship with the Crimson Tide in 1964 but quit school before going on to become a pro football great, returned to the University of Alabama on Friday to pick up the degree he earned 42 years later.
Namath completed a 30-hour program over the last five years to earn bachelor of arts degree in interdisciplinary studies. Bum knees aside, Namath will be one of 900 graduates to walk across the stage at Coleman Coliseum during commencement Saturday morning.
"It was fun, but it was hard," Namath, 64, said at a news conference. "I had a very difficult time getting myself to sit down and spend the time (studying)"
Some university workers had an equally tough time keeping their mind on education when Namath was around.
Harriett Cabell Walker, one of Namath's academic advisers, said female staff members went gah-gah the first time the old ball player walked into the office. And why not? Namath is still royalty in Alabama.
"I had to say, `Treat him like any other student.' But everybody was asking him for pictures," she said.
