ESPN Says:

quote:

Best fans: Legion Field might as well have been Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The Ole Miss fans showed up in force, setting a BBVA Compass Bowl attendance record. Just through the Ole Miss ticket office, Ole Miss fans gobbled up more than 23,000 tickets, and the Rebels rewarded them with a 38-17 beatdown of Pittsburgh.

Worst fans: Somebody must have forgotten to tell the Florida fans what day the Sugar Bowl was. Then again, maybe they all stayed out on Bourbon Street. That’s OK, because the team didn’t show up, either, in the 33-23 loss to Louisville.

quote:

Only one of its three title-clinching wins came in an actual 1 vs. 2 game (the infamous 62-24 beatdown of Florida in '95). In both '94 (Penn State) and '97 (Michigan) the Cornhuskers avoided facing undefeated Big Ten teams that were ranked No. 1 or 2, instead beating No. 3 Miami (10-1) in the Orange Bowl in '94 and No. 3 Tennessee (11-1) in that same bowl in '97.


All three for Bama were #1 vs #2. Everyone focuses on the win loss record, but this is an important point.

the fact that UF sold 7000 Sugar Bowl tickets was fricking pathetic.

We all usually travel well, Florida only selling 7000 is crazy though. Blame the matchup I guess.

I'm a huge Bama fan, but the best college football team I've ever seen was the 1995 Cornhuskers. I'm happy Bama is being compared to that team, but I haven't forgotten how great they were. They were brutal.

im sorry, not a single one of these bama teams have been considered one of the greatest of all time. like all 3 of the teams that nebraska won with. hell, the 1995 team is considered THE greatest of all time by many people. so no, the cornhusker dynasty of the mid 90s>>>>the current bama dynasty

95 Nebraska team was the best I've ever seen. And yes Florida fans are very fair weathered folks,but Florida State and Miami fans are the same way.

Glad to see Ole Miss representing the SEC well. Those fans were amazing last Saturday. It really did feel as if I was in Vaught Hemingway Stadium......only a lot shittier environment.

95 Nebraska would wreck every bcs winner. THEY AVERAGED 350 YARDS A GAME RUSHING. they would put up 500 yard rushing against Bama's 2011 defense , which I think is the goat.

Congrats to Ole Miss on a HUGE win in the BBVA Compass Bowl. Nothing says, "Hey you've arrived!", quite like a win in the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham. Also, 1995 Nebraska would pound any Saban team. Hell, 1995 Florida would beat 2012 Bama (as would 2012 A&M).
