And what the hell does "War Eagle" mean anyway?

Isn't an Eagle a carrion eater and considered a type of buzzard?

Bama has 9 national championships. The other 5 are retroactively( bullshite) claimed. BUT THEY HAVE 22 SEC TITLES WHICH IS FAR MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN 9 NATIONAL TITLES.
9 poll era national championships.

22 Southeastern Conference championships

4 Southern Conference championships (before SEC was formed)

Well, you have to consider the state of Alabama as sort of a family. (Not a Fambly, lololol )

Being younger sibling, the newly-minted Auburn University naturally looked up to the big brother it -- at that time -- idolized and adored. Seeing an old, disused logo of Alabama's, Auburn thought it looked pretty nifty. They ditched the elephant and the ice cream cone (It was the fricking 50s. Today we smoke spice, back then they ate fricking ice cream. DWI. ) and instead focused on the inverted letters.

Of the rest of our little family, only one of Auburn/Alabama's retarded little brothers, Alabama A&M, thought this would also be a cool idea and jumped on the bandwagon.




TL;DR: Don't smoke spice. Don't do meth.

Technically the crystal balls are all the coaches trophies (AFCA) and one can rightfully be ordered for every #1 back to 1950.

CFB warehouse has UA, OU, USC and ND with 95 NC's. No way I'm going to check everyone but the NC's must be in the several hundreds...which is why a NC tends to be a subject of debate.

Meh I say just let it be and let schools claim however many they want. It's not gonna bother me one bit if some school starts claiming more than Bama. I think Pitt claims 7 and all but 2 are dubious. It really doesn't matter. We all know who the great teams are historically.

True if you go back to the 1800s when only 4 or 5 teams were playing.

I read about the former Yale professor who started teaching at Bama and introduced football in 1892. They had never even heard of it before then.

So, if you recognize the obvious fact that Bama is one of the very few elite teams historically, why does it matter how many NC's we claim?

Do you care how many USC, Notre Dame, OU, or Michigan claim? My guess is no.

I don't know how much history reading you've done but the true glory of UA football (before it got turned into a youtube 'road to 15' vid) was making a Yankee game Southern, and and becoming a traveling roadshow 60 years before FSU and BSU were even heard of.

Because Bama has enough legit titles and Conf titles that there is no reason to claim bullshite titles. Bama is, historically and now, the best football program in the sec. There is no need to add questionable titles to an already , astounding resume. Bama helped build the SEC into what it is today.
