It’s not an Alabama thing. Do your college football research. I’m not crediting Alabama with pre-AP titles. They don’t need my input anyways. There are publications out there that credit the Rose Bowl as being a showcase at times for the best teams in the nation. That’s why some programs will claim pre-AP titles. I’m not claiming it for them. It’s kind of like the current HBCU Celebration Bowl in Atlanta. The MEAC vs. the SWAC for the de-facto national championship.

Also, I’m a die-hard OU fan. Who’s to say you’re really an OU fan? Have you been to any games? Did you graduate or attend the university? Or is it because UNC is terrible at football that you need to latch onto someone that is consistently good?

I grew up a huge Billy Sims fan. Went to my first OU game in 1984. Started OU in 1989 and graduated in 1994.

I moved away from Oklahoma after graduation (VA and then NC) but have attended a game about every other year. I have in recent years seen OU play in two playoff games, in Knoxville, in Morgantown twice, in Tuscaloosa, in Lubbock, several OU/TX games and a handful of home games. Obviously I would like to attend more and being in the SEC will help that.

Before I had a child I attending pretty much all OU football watch parties in DC.

As for UNC, I have attended one game and since I work for the university and my wife has a graduate degree from there (undergrad OU) I do passively root for them.

And, sorry, your post blasting OU fans kind of set me off.
