If we went back in time to before 1936 and AU went undefeated and won the major bowl, would you want your University to hang a banner and give kudos to those young men?
Fine, hang a banner. It can say "1925 Rose Bowl Champions".
Why does it have to be any more than that? More importantly, why was it no more than that until after Bryant died, when UA starting retroactively claiming those as NCs?

Why are you claiming 03 as a national championship? The ap didn't award you one but you want bama to erase some of their ncs because the ap was non existant when they won them. And what's the difference in bama winning an nc in 41 with 2 losses and lsu winning an nc in 07 with 2 losses?

I honestly don't remember how many NCs were reported after Bryant died so I couldn't tell you. All I know is we put southern football on the map with our Rose bowl victories (doing something other teams from the south couldn't do which was consistently beat the northern teams) and opposing fans don't like it.
All of Bama's past accomplishments are great and apart of football history and I'm very proud of the teams that took the field back then but at the same time, I'm looking towards our bright future.
