It makes me happy when Bama fans claim 14 national titles
Everyone on this board has talked about ad nauseum the "14 titles" and they've been debunked several times over. but in case you live in a cave, here:

Moving on, It makes me happy when some Bama fans make this claim because it just reminds me that they are stupid and don't know much about college football. Straight up. And before you on the offensive, I am fully aware that LSU has its fair share of dumb/obnoxious/arrogant/whatever you want to call them as well. Lets be honest, every team has them, no exceptions.

The difference is, not many other fan bases tend to carry such an egregious lie/exaggeration as a "calling card" or motto if you will.

Here's my question for knowledgeable Bama fans, and many of you I know know your stuff:

Do you make this claim too along with the masses? Do you ever correct your fellow bama fan?

What say you gump nation.....?

After reading your insightful post, I clicked on your link expecting to read an intellectual discussion. Instead I found mindless drivel.

Here's the thing: I am happy to go with the AP poll prior to the BCS era as the be all and end all of college football national championships. The entire college football world recognized it as such. And Alabama, by winning their ninth tonight, will have more than anyone else.

Your linked article was moronic, because it calls out Alabama for claiming the 1964 title which was awarded before the bowls, yet it ignores the fact that Alabama doesn't claim 1966 even though Notre Dame not only had a tie but refused to play in a bowl. So it's really simple...certainly simple enough for you to understand: If final polls taken before bowls don't count, then none of Notre Dame's national championships in years where they refused to play in bowls count, either.
