debate about how many national titles Alabama had, how we really didn't have all that many, etc etc made me want to jump off a bridge
Nick Saban has won a lot in the last 5 years, but that really doesn't have anything to do with Alabama... hate to be the one to tell you

pretty crazy that alabama only had 6 ap titles before 2009.

Now that you mention it, I don't think that I've seen the annual 'How many NCs does Bama really have?' threads at all this summer. phan, AU24, and Bowl have let me down.
I feel cheated.

Like I said, when the response can be "does it matter? We have more AP ones than anyone else" there isn't much sense in it. Was a lot more fun for them when we were 2-3 behind Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, etc.

Does that crazy Tiger in Miami guy still post on here? He was another "good" one.

Can we claim 1942 instead of 1941?
Posted on 7/27/16 at 4:44 pm to Sid E Walker
LOL - we finished ranked 10th in 1942 as opposed to 20th in 1941.
