Alabama ranks 47th.

EDIT: I Give Bama credit for 14 (1941 is a true joke)... I do believe Auburn should claim 3.

If Bama didn't claim 1941 (which is completely bogus), there'd be very little bitching about the others.

Just out of curiosity, which would be your 3rd for Auburn?

wtf is an obama phone? is that like a big thing in arKansas?

is it like the bat phone, except its for a welfare state like arKansas to call for more funding?

The wording of the actual bill:

The years he mentions:
The awarded years:
1957
2010
The "worth going into detail" years:
1913
1983
1993 (he admits this team was ineligible for post season play)
The "we were the best, end of story" years:
1910
1914
1958 (LSU MIGHT disagree with this one)
2004


By his criteria, Alabama should claim *begin computing now*...

28

which other ones are "absurd". granted 1941 is total horseshite. i know the ones in the 20s and early 30s arent as legit as an ap/coaches poll title, but wtf. if a team went undefeated in the pre poll era and won a major bowl, they should claim that shite.

good grief, thats pathetic.
