Intentionally dumb post is, in fact, incredibly dumb.

Congrats on your success.

He wouldn't have been allowed to get away with holding kids hostage that he oversigned to keep away from the competition


1. Those kids were free to leave at anytime. Some did. Most wanted to just say they played at Bama and for Bryant and stayed.
2. The oversigning rules applied to everyone.

I agree kids would have left but you can bet your arse some would have transferred to Bama. Like what is happening now.

Saban has 1 title since the transfer portal was opened? whats it been, like 3 years?

I also see your point in trying to diminish Bama's century of dominance. Bama was awarded titles by the voting committees at the time. Just because it wasn't the BCS or the CFP and happened before you were born doesn't mean it didn't happen. Go tell a Notre Dame fan they have 3 national titles. Go tell USC they have 3 because by your metrics, thats all they have.

IF IF IF

But the transfer portal did not exist then.

However if it had existed, Bear would have been scooping more players from other schools so your argument does not hold water.

Go crawl back under your rock for twenty years.

What a douche. Bear was sending planes to future All Americans before Jimbo was born. He invented the system and was the best at running it. Kinda like Saban, before Saban. RTR

Bryant signed all those young men but he played them. Look back to those days and he sent in waves of players, some times playing 2 and 3 QB's several RB's entire OL's and DL's and so on.

Wouldn't he just get the NCAA to put in a rule that none of them could wear a tear-away jersey?

I'm impressed, you got a lot of bites on this one and you didn't even try to hide the shiny hook. It is good to see you back in prime trolling form so soon after your return.

Being a Hog fan it's obvious you are easily impressed. You probably love Gloryhole Bill 21 and have his poster on your wall.

Its not the transfer portal that is a game changer its the one time transfer without having to redshirt that will help teams like Arkansas. Two different things.

The Bear is a legend. He had an aura about him that even his rivals admired. Football today would be better if there were more people like him in charge

lot people seem forget bear bryant was a man from ARKANSAS... seem like Bama fans ought to thank Arkansas for success... just like how they got their current ball coach from west va.
