Right! Anyone that slaps your stupid arse in the mouth with facts is a troll.

Once again, go pull a few more championships out of your Little Dick Syndrome suffering asses.


1925 - retroactively claimed championship
1926 - retroactively claimed championship
1930 - retroactively claimed championship
1934 - retroactively claimed championship
1941 - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
1973 - beaten on the field by the other co-champion
1978 - beaten on the field by the other co-champion

FACTS:

1925 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn’t exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC. (no one claimed 1925, let's jump back 15 years and claim it )

1926 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it! (15 years AFTER the fact)

The Associated Press Poll has been active since 1936. The AP took their final poll prior to bowl games from 1936 – 1964 and in 1966 and 1967. They took their final poll after the bowl games in 1965 and from 1968 – Current.

1930 National Championship- The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933! (one guy proclaimed you champions...hang a banner )

1934 National Championship- Alabama says they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel, Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who came up with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with his own system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946! (even better...a geologist names you champions a dozen years later...print the rings )

1941 National Championship- This is a complete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teams with better records in the top 20. Once again it is the Football Thesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SEC that year. Mississippi State won the SEC title..yet Bama claims a National title! (what a joke )

1973 National Championship- AP puts Bama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama claims a NC from the UPI poll that was taken before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and lost. There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. The embarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to name champions after bowl games. Yet Bammer has no shame in claiming it of course. (beaten on the field by the real champion)

1978 National Championship- AP gives this to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC (12-1-0) had the better record Guess who Alabama lost to that year? USC!!!!!!!!!. UPI gave the NC to USC. (beaten on the field by the real champion)

YOUR media guide. 6+5=16

I LOOOOVE how on that USC 1978 game which was awarded by the UPI, you call them a co-champion but don't want recognize Bama's UPI title in 1973. Typical Vol stupidity or ignorance.
:lol: :lol: :lol:



Preach on brother!

Oh, and later on that season SC was BLOWN OUT by Arizona State which knocked them down the polls. See, when you lost, you moved down and teams that won moved up. It wasn't voted on by a panel which is probably the way you think it's always been. It was simple. It was always better to lose early than late. That's what happened.
