What is the real reason for all those claims? Why do they do it while other schools do not do it? Does anybody, including Alabama fans, really know why ?
In 1983, Bryant had just retired and Pat Dye was building a machine at AU that just won the SEC title and was named national champion by more selectors than anyone else in the country.
Bama started feeling insecure and knew a bunch of arse whuppings from Dye were on deck.
Therefore, their SID claimed 6 new, additional, retroactive, and in many cases bullshite titles to make the gumps feel more important.

The only really questionable ones we added was 1941. All of the others were teams that went to the Rose Bowl and won or tied.
