re: All those "glory years" for Bama...You must have had

Sounds to me like you inadvertantly complimented Bryant and Alabama on the great teams they had in the 60's. 3 NC's and in the hunt for two more without any real stars. No Heismans,but certainly some fine players.

Was that an "inadvertent" compliment. I don't think there is any doubt that Bryant won with ordinary guys. Bryant wasn't comfortable with youngsters who were "studs." He thought they had had it too easy and would let you down at crunch time. Not say that Alabama's players weren't talented. But they were for the most part journeymen.
