a lot of Great great individual players. So how many Heismans next to those other trophys
Sounds to me like you inadvertantly complimented Bryant and Alabama on the great teams they had in the 60's. 3 NC's and in the hunt for two more without any real stars. No Heismans,but certainly some fine players.
Florida had a Heisman Trophy winner in the 60's . How many SEC titles did they have ? How many National Titles ?

Was that an "inadvertent" compliment. I don't think there is any doubt that Bryant won with ordinary guys. Bryant wasn't comfortable with youngsters who were "studs." He thought they had had it too easy and would let you down at crunch time. Not say that Alabama's players weren't talented. But they were for the most part journeymen.

"Tradition" is a two-sided coin at Bama. It also included 150 scholarships of which about only 2/3 were football-related, slush/personal funds for players and national championships awarded by everyone from Golden Flake to the local Tuscaloosa Ford dealership.
Even if you were telling the truth- everyone competed under the same rules, or lack of rules, back then.

I would bet most people outside of Alabama would think recent sports history is more relevant.
