College football fans carry grudges forever

As a Princeton Tigers fan, I am upset that Texas A & M won the 1939 national title instead of us.

Feud? No… helluv a lot more than a grudge

- Chick Granning-Darwin Holt incident; (Holt was the meanest toughest sob I ever met in person and that’s saying a lot, two LBs played then…the other was Leroy Jordan)…

- Ferman Bisher and Atlanta Constitution;

- Look Magazine and the fake Wally Butts-Bear Bryant fix;

- whiskey bottles in Grant Stadium causing Bryant to wear helmet on sideline;

- Joe Namath assaulted in field;

- Bobby Dodd and his constant interviews with Bisher just insulting Alabama and Bryant;

And other programs Dodd and Ga Tech dissed…

- Georgia Tech publicizing that they would NEVER go play State or Ole Miss because “the State of Mississippi was beneath them”…

This caused both programs black ball Tech when they put out feelers to return to the conference in early 1970s.

- Tech ultimatum the entire conference about the 140 issue… the vote rejecting their demand was 11-0 against them.

It is a LOT more than holding grudges. Ask USCe people how they feel about UNC causing them to leave the ACC. There are some things that last longer than a few decades.

Its what makes the sport great. Sterilize the hate and you will have modern day nascar where even the fans hate the sport.

I have an annual grudge against every team that brags that they are bowl eligible and actually play in a bowl with a
6-6 record. My favorite team growing up was Michigan which in 1972 or 1973 had a tie game against the Buckeyes. Both teams finished 10-0-1 and due to the B1G rules at that time only one Big Ten team-the champion-got to go to the Rose Bowl which was the only bowl available. Ohio State was voted to go by a vote of the ADs of the league. Yeah, I have a huge grudge against Michigan State as they voted for Ohio State. BTW, this grudge is because I am pissed off from more than 50 years ago.

Bowl Eligible my arse!

Saban crushed Freeze for sleeping with hookers.

One of our old coaches stopped coaching for us and later started coaching for someone in our own division and beat us a bunch of times. So I hate that team. And that guy.

I have a weird dislike for Florida State because of Terrell Buckley. Odd I know

Also for the record I’d be ok if Baylor lost every sporting contest womens or mens for the rest of eternity. F them

For example, I grew up an Alabama fan and in 1977 the National Championship was awarded to Notre Dame instead of Alabama. This was done in spite of the fact that Notre Dame lost to Ole Miss that year and Alabama beat Ole Miss.

That's funny do you have any problem claiming the 64 mnc awarded by the AP? After all, you had one loss to Texas and Arkansas went undefeated, was awarded the Grantland Rice trophy (sports writers) and beat the same Texas team.

Interesting question. I’m not a Texas fan but I would like to know if Texas fans still remember and hold a grudge against The U for the way the infamous 91 Cotton Bowl went down. I watched that game and it was ugly for Texas. Miami just flat humiliated Texas both on the scoreboard and with the way Miami acted during that game. I don’t know if I have ever seen anything like that game since then. Miami totally destroyed Texas that day then rubbed it in to boot. That game should still have Texas fans burning mad.

If you have never seen that game pull it up on the net and watch it. Miami put on a show that day. It’s worth a watch for sure.

Alabama finishing third in 1966, despite having won the NC in '64 and '65 and finishing the '66 season as the only undefeated and untied team in the county, continues to piss me the motherfricking hell off.

I was not actually born until twelve years after this occurred.
