What did I say? Your next post proved my point.
If you really wanted to play Bama you had your chance.
I repeat my self. Until your team beats Bama all you got is talk. And everyone knows talk is cheap.
Your argument is cheap.

Who has more than 11 unclaimed national championships
Posted on 6/24/17 at 11:21 pm to CapstoneGrad06
I call bullshite on this one. Every time I see an 8th grade drop out in a Wal-Mart parking lot here in Mobile they have a new pre-1950s championship added to their sleeveless tshirt.

Based on the NCAA records book, Texas has 5 unclaimed national titles. Oklahoma has twice as many.
Meanwhile, Alabama has 4 more that they don't claim. A whopping difference of 1.

77 and 81 would really be stretching it. But hey, SMU claimed some early 80s titles so there's precedence.

Those are not claimed by the university
Someone else says UT was a champion that year and UT doesn't hang the banner
Unlike Bama that hangs every championship that someone gives them

Except of the 16 claimed titles, 11 are poll titles. And there's four more Alabama doesn't claim.

11 of the 16 national titles that we claim were awarded by either the AP, Coaches, BCS, or CFB Playoffs. Four of the remaining five that we claim were from before the AP Poll Era. 1941 is the only dubious title claim we have.

I never said they were. He asked how many Texas could claim since 1936 and that's going by the NCAA records book.

Since their most recent national title in 2005 you have to go all the way back to 1970 to find their next one. They win games but they are among the most overrated programs in all of college football.
Since 1969, Texas has won more major poll/BCS/CFP national championships than Ohio State, and three times as many as Michigan during that time frame.
Texas has the same number of national championships as Notre Dame since 1969, too.

And few, if any, people go around saying something to the effect of: "If Saban were at Michigan, Ohio State, or even Notre Dame, he would make what he's been doing at Alabama look like child's play by comparison."
Only Texas fans or those knighting for the Texas program are saying this. What has Texas shown in the last 50 or so years that confirms such a theory? Hence why I say the Texas fanbase has an overinflated sense of self-worth.

Texas blue chip prospects from
2013 to 2017 229
Alabama blue chip prospects from
2013 to 2017 59
For Saban it would be able to coach in the state with the largest amount of talent.
No other school can touch UT inside Texas.
A&M is not anywhere near the status of Texas when Texas is good.
For Saban that would mean less time spent on recruiting.

Listen, you will get no argument from me that Alabama is a superior football program to Texas. You are the best all time now, passing Notre Dame. Also duly noted.
I was a huge fan of your program until I got around your fans and saw their massive insecurities despite being on top.
I don't subscribe to your theory (based on ignorant posts by kids online, or writers stirring the pot) that Saban would do even better at those schools. Is this part if your massive inferiority complex? Intense paranoia?
You also act like Texas flat-out did not play football from 1971-2004, despite winning a shite ton of games, playing on New Year's Day for 4 national titles (77, 81, 83, 90). 1990 was a remote chance, but still.
Hell, I can even remember the 1982 Cotton Bowl when the Longhorns under Fred Akers beat Bear Bryant in what I guess was his last major bowl game.
I am too young to remember Coach Royal beating Bryant in the Orange and Cotton bowls.

He doesn't need that. He recruits well in Florida (#2 in high school talent behind Texas), Georgia (#4) and Louisiana (#6). He also gets his pick of the litter from in-state talent in Alabama (#7). And the distances these kids are traveling to go to school and play at Alabama are less than the land mass of Texas. So it's not like they're traveling thousands of miles from home to play football (unless you're Tua Tagovailoa).

Then you misunderstand the nature of the man. Recruiting is his favorite part of the job.

A lot of it has to do with who Nick Saban is and his resume. Leaving Michigan St for LSU, LSU for Miami Dolphins and then returning to college football at Alabama
For sure the NFL pays more and has more recognition. I am sure even insecure Bama fans will not admit that the NFL is not a better job than theirs.
That leaves college football and the seven other blue bloods
I say Nebraska and Oklahoma would be a step down
Michigan, Ohio State and ND would be a lateral step
That leaves SC and Texas as steps up in college football. He had the chance to leave and did not.
There is also Florida St and Miami even though they are not considered blue bloods they would be a step up in regards to talent maybe not in recognition as Texas and USC would be.

Good. Because that's not my theory at all.

You are way too prone to hyperbole. That's not what I said at all. I believe I even acknowledged a few pages back that Texas wins games. Their problem has been winning championships.

The only Alabama-Texas match-up I have been alive for was the most recent one in January 2010. I know Texas has the winning record in the series, but I wasn't around for any of those games I'm afraid.

Sorry, Saban to Texas wouldn't be a step up from Alabama. They have more hardware and bring in as much money as Texas.
You baffled me when you said Darrell Royal was overrated. You are not an idiot but that one still blows my mind. Oh well, I knew Coach Royal from the early 90s onward and he was like Jesus Christ incarnate.
And to the Alabama poster, I meant "your theory that other people think Saban would do even better at..."

If he was at Texas he could just open his doors to the kids in Texas and then recruit California, Louisiana and Florida.
Funny thing is John Mackovic tried this approach and it alienated the HS coaches in Texas. The top talent started going to A&M
Like it has been said on here before Texas' biggest problems is Texas itself. From the high school football coaches, media, fans, boosters and administrators.
If someone was able to figure everything out they could hit a Home Run every time
Even the great DKR couldn't. I have the upmost respect for him but I believe he is overrated in the history of UT football
