Now do you see why Bama fans love it when Auburn fans still complain about Bear Bryant?

nobody is complaining about a drunk that died 35 years ago. The Bear was my kind of man, a tough SOB that liked his bourbon and his women. It's not complaining to state a fact that The Bear bent and exploited the rules to find ways to use them to gain an advantage for Bama. That's being a smart coach and leader. That's why it's so hilarious when Nick Saban and Bama fans bitch and moan when Gus Malzahn does the same thing with his offense crying for the NCAA to change it's rules to protect the "sanctity" of football. In case y'all forgot a big reason a lot of the rules in modern college football look the way they do is because of Bryant. Not to mention The Bear was known for being on the forefront of cutting edge offensive systems in his day. So think about that the next time you bitch about how Gus running his offense too fast isn't your grandaddys football.
