But Roll Tide. How can you not see that this is the greatest program to ever grace a field, a court, a pitch or what have you? You don't have to leave the borders of this great state of Alabama (which I haven't) to smell the greatness that is Crimson Tide football. Best in the world. Everyone knows it and everyone sings praises around the glob. Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer the aboriginals sing across the outback. Give em hell Alabama, the Japanese respond....ignoring that it doesn't actually rhyme.

Boston Celtics is the greatest of all time. Bama is not even close, they have to make up championships.

Most of your "16" NC are debatable. For instance, I debate whether it counts as a NC if black people aren't allowed to play with whites


Maybe 2 of them. That's it. And we were screwed out of playing for another one but don't claim it.

I was only replying to your question. But if you want to bring viewers into it, then just about any NFL team is a greater program than Alabama.

Alabama NOT claiming a national championship? In 1952, some guy sitting on his front porch drinking lemonade declared Bama his national champion and the Tide hung a banner. 1952 Lemonade Drinker's National Champions.

If Alabama wins one more, here is exactly what will happen:

Alabama fans will claim their program is the greatest of all time. Notre Dame fans will pretend they didn't notice and Alabama cheats anyway. Ohio State fans will also talk about the SEC cheating as they finish serving their probation. auburn fans won't count it and claim Alabama only has 5 "legitimate" ones anyway, while LSU fans will console themselves with the belief that Saban is headed to Texas/Oregon/Notre Dame/Manchester United/The Vatican anyway.

Tennessee fans won't notice because they are busy rigging their exhaust into the bed of their pickup truck because they can't take it anymore...and wondering why it doesn't work like it does in the movies.

Pick an argument and stick to it. You say we're a better program than Montreal because you think more people watch college football, but we're better than most NFL teams because we've won more championships. Which is it?

This guy is what most people can't stand about Alabama fans. Arrogant self entitled pricks who think Alabama football is God's gift to the world and everyone adores it.

Either way you want to go, no, we're not the greatest program.

No college football program can claim to be the greatest sports program of all time seeing that all of the championships won in college football are mythical.
