What you fail to mention, WildTchoupitoulas, while copying and pasting rails against the strength of Southern teams is that no one really knew how strong or weak Southern teams were.
You can't copy and paste quotes about total shite quality of Southern teams, in those long gone days, and just expect us to gobble it up as gospel.
News-writers and sports journalists, in those times, were all from the North. They didn't know the names of Southern teams. They didn't know the names of players on Southern teams. They didn't know the schedules. They didn't know the quality of the players or the quality of the teams.
Ever wonder why a player on a Southern team didn't win a Heisman trophy for about a thousand years? Ever wonder why when Alabama, a team that broke barriers for all Southern teams, finally got a Rose Bowl invite, it was just a gift to those stupid Southerners because other Northern teams wouldn't accept it that season for various reasons?
You parrot that, because you are ignorant of the facts, only West, Midwest, and Northern teams were considered powerhouses. Why? Because post Civil-War, the general perception of the rest of the nation was that Southerners were mentally retarded, less athletic, and were far too ignorant to play the game of football, to even grasp the concept of the game.
Southern teams simply didn't exist to the rest of the nation and that is why they had no All-Americans, no Heismans, no invites to bowl games, no NC's, etc...
How in the frick do you know what the talent level of Southern teams were? How do you know what the strength of schedule for teams like Alabama and Tennessee and LSU were compared to teams like Harvard, Washington, Dartmouth, or Colgate?
Simple answer is that you don't, no one then did and certainly no one now does. You don't know football history, you only copy and paste and then attempt to bash others based on what you just read, with no context to what you have read.
Who did know the strength of Southern teams? Southerners did. And when Alabama was finally granted a great privilege by the football Gods of the North, Midwest, and West to be given a chance, they burst onto the scene like a caged animal being set free.
After the final beating of USC by Alabama, in yet another Rose Bowl slaughter of yet another supposedly superior team with smarter players, better players, and more athletic players, the powers that be had finally had enough and made the Rose Bowl a private affair between the current Big10 and Pac12.
Your SOS arguments that you copied and pasted hold no merit. Southern teams were just as good and just as tough as anyone.
Our Southern team's schedules weren't like Div.1 AA compared to Northern teams Div.1-A schedules.
I thought all those silly arguments died when Alabama came out swinging and decimating the "powerhouses". Guess not.
