I'm really ashamed at the Alabama fans, not mentioning Frank Thomas, and instead going with Wallace Wade. Wallace Wade had three undefeated seasons: 1925, 10-0, 1926, 9-0-1, & 1930, 10-0; was 2-0-1 in the Rose Bowl and had an .824 winning %. Frank Thomas also had 3 undefeated seasons, 1934, 10-0, 1936, 8-0-1 & 1945 10-0, was 2-1 in the Rose Bowl, and won the orange and cotton bowl as well, had a .827 winning %, and coached one Paul Bryant.

"All that bullshite about what happened at A&M, for just 8 days of practice! We had to put up with him for a month at Millersburg! I say Junction was a boyscout camp compared to what we went through!" Howard Schnellenberger on Bear's Junction practices.

Don't lump me in. It seems I'm going to have to write a thesis on Thomas and Wade, for some of the posters in this thread to understand their worth to Alabama football.

No disrespect to Frank Thomas intended, but Wade put not only Alabama on the map, but also Southern football in general. Frank Thomas walked in those footsteps. Frank Thomas ranks as near as Stallings does, but I like that Stallings got Bama out of Bryant's long shadow. It's all subjective really.
