And Bama had a zero in the loss column in 66 and zero to show for it. So much for your 64 argument. I just watched the 62 Sugar Bowl where the Lance Alworth led Hogs got a total of 3 points.

One thing we can ALL agree on. Alabama has more SEC titles and more National Championships than any of your teams.

So why did y'all claim 41 instead of 45 and/or 66?

That doesn't do much for the prestige of the team though. Wouldn't it be a lot nicer to have the two big daddy trophies on the campus?

Just for shits and giggles and to give us all something to talk about on message-boards, in the off-season, when Alabama isn't actually winning more NC's.

Just try to envision the lack of entertaining discussion on this board, and a couple of hundred others like them around the Internet, if not for the '41 claim.

Everyone loves talking about Alabama. You can go to virtually any team's message board on Scout, Rivals, 247, here, etc... and there is almost always one topic about Alabama 365 days of the year.

They aren't all talking about the '41 claim but, there is always something to discuss about Alabama, even for fans of teams Alabama has never played.

SEC message boards, well, you can just about bet a part of your paycheck that 15 to 20 of the average 50 topics on any team's front page is going to be about Alabama.

That is market saturation.

Unless they stole it from Tuscaloosa, they don't have an AP or UPI trophy. Whatever they have couldn't be much better than a People's National Championship trophy.

Anyone can go to the local podunk trophy shop and get a trophy and write some shite on it.

Tell me should Alabama Fans feel cheated for 1966? A time where they could have won 3 National Championships in a row? You want to focus on 1941 but completely ignore all the years those previous teams went undefeated and accomplished something. 1966 Was the biggest jobbing in sports history and yet your on 1941 a year that had multiple champions. Obvious Minnesota claims the title that year but just like most years back then there were multiple title claims. Honestly I don't agree with 1941.

"In addition to Minnesota's regular season AP national championship, the Golden Gophers were also selected national champions by Billingsley,Boand, DeVold, Dunkel, Football Research, Helms, Litkenhous, the National Championship Foundation, Poling,Sagarin and Sagarin (ELO-Chess).The Alabama Crimson Tide were selected national champions by the Houlgate Poll.The Texas Longhorns were selected national champions by the Berryman[5] and Wilson polling systems."

The fact you actually took the time and effort in writing this really tells a lot about you. You really need to focus this energy into something more productive in your life b/c investing in this priority mindset about Alabama football can not be healthy for you. There has got to be a void in your life your trying to fill with crimson elephants.


In short, get a fricking life. Its pitiful

Like everybody else who posts on this board, you don't know shite about other posters, or their lives. He's managed to rustle the jimmies of half the Auburn and LSU clowns that post here, plus I haven't read a post that successfully refutes what he's said. As far as this forum is concerned, the guy's bullet proof and the smarter anti-bama folks around here are scared to confront him.

Unlike you, I'm sure, I'm able to type about 45-50 wpm on average.

I'm quite certain that thoughts form in my brain a little more lucidly and clearer than for you, also.

Therefore, it doesn't take me long at all to type out my thoughts. For someone like you, first you have to have a thought and that is step one and the biggest obstacle.

Next comes wiping enough boogers off your fingers so you can type but still have some to eat later.

It's a complicated process for you, and due to your dullness that shows in your droopy, lackluster eyes, you imagine everyone has the same complications as you.

It isn't true.

I think the word you are looking for is Boogers. I think Buggers are folks inclined to same sex interactions. It is funny either way tho.

Ad hominem attacks are the refuge of the dullard.

Thanks for your assistance, CoachCrisp.

I can't stand to see Alabama fans, no matter the forum, beaten into submission by a deluge of criticisms and never-ending insults.

The FWAA's Grantland Rice trophy. They're recognized as a major selector by the NCAA, started only 4 years after the AFCA poll, and (most importantly) always waited until AFTER the bowls.

Before or after the bowls has no bearing on legitimacy. You can't retroactively decide that things weren't done to your liking many decades ago and declare something invalid.

The reason the Grantland Rice selectors never gained much traction and held no sway over public opinion, like the UPI and AP did, is because their selection panel only consisted of five individuals.

Many times, when discussing Alabama and it's championships, or lack of championships, common fans and media and experts alike wish to ridicule our claims based on supposedly spurious polls.

A year like 1964, in which Alabama swept the two major selectors recognized by the majority of all football enthusiasts as the gold standard, is beyond reproach.

But, here you are, arguing for Arkansas' '64 championship awarded to them by FWAA. On the other hand, I'm almost certain you would deny that same luxury to Alabama. That is usually how it works.

As far as NCAA major selectors and trophies are concerned, anyone could accept trophies from any of these:



major selectors recognized by the NCAA.

Would they have the legitimacy of the UPI and AP trophies and would they carry the same prestige and have the same renown? Of course not.

How come no one ever mentions the national championship Notre Dame won in 1964, not even Notre Dame?

Things are done how they are done when they are done. I suppose Alabama should have refused to accept the AP and UPI trophies and told them that they didn't agree with their method of awarding trophies. Yeah, sure.

Let's wait on Ohio State to return their College Football Playoff trophy and renounce their NC and remove it from their record books because, five years from now, there will be 8 teams in the play-offs, instead of four, and we will all consider the current format invalid.

My bad, I meant that they're a recognized consensus selector by the NCAA.



It's presented alongside the AP and AFCA:

You should stick to posting "Auburn is Bama's daddy" multiple times in every thread. I think it will really catch fire soon!
