The Gridiron Men's Conference will be held July 29-30, 2011 at the Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The conference is associated with Phil Waldrep Ministries and with Pine Terrace Baptist Church. Coleman Coliseum is the home of the University of Alabama men's and women's basketball teams.
Speakers at the conference include sports announcer Pat Summerall, 1996 Heisman Trophy Winner and National Football League quarterback Danny Wuerffel, National Basketball Association executive Pat Williams, Big Oak Ranch founder John Croyle, Christian comedian Ken Davis, and Baptist Minister of Music Charles Billingsley.
For those who may not know, "gridiron" is a reference to American-style football. The rectangular shape of the football field, crossed by regularly spaced painted lines, resembles a gridiron (griddle), a metal frame of parallel bars used to broil or grill meat, fish, and vegetables.
The word "griddle" comes from the Old North French word "gredil" and, ultimately, from the Latin word "cratis," a lattice or wickerwork.
