NEWSFLASH: from 1936-1964, whether a program was in a bowl or not, the national title was decided BEFORE the bowl games were played.

Don't expect casual Bama fans to understand how titles are awarded. They all assume their just supposed to be able to claim them based on reputation alone.

That's not a very common name. Interesting that you've had three starters with that name. Last two obviously related.

Lloyd Nix was hardscrabble … tougher than nails in an era where tough players were the norm.
