re: Serious question/poll re: Bama's claimed NC

Just curious - why is it so important for Alabama fans to bring in the past, and in particular the far away past. Is this supposed to tell us that we are not in the same "class" as them?

This is the same crap I get when talking with ND fans. What a person is saying when they bring up their 'achievements' long ago is really like saying that they are up here and you are down here, and there is nothing you can do to change that. There is a word for it -- INSECURITY.

I guess we can bring in the, ah, "storied" past of Army, Princeton, and all of the great teams of the first half of the century.
