Just watched "Before they were Cowboys" and now know that Arkansas really won that championship. They went undefeated and beat the only team Bama lost to...Texas! Now I understand why people keep talking about their "mythical" championships!

Was Alabama awarded the AP or UPI national championship that year?

21-0 did it. 6 in a row rubbed it in.

What an incredible post. I will descend deep into the earth and carve it into the living rock, where it will endure for millennia upon millennia, untouched by the passage of time. Then, finally, one day in the unfathomably far future, archaeologists from whatever species replaces us will discover it. They will puzzle over the strange runes, and their brightest minds will spend centuries trying to unravel their mystery. At long last, one among them will prove equal to the challenge, and upon finally reading the ancient message, he will look up to the sky in wonder, saying aloud in a state of awe, "Whoever and whatever this 'kjanchild' may have been, he was obsessed as frick with Bama."

You can go see the trophies anytime you want. They're in Tuscaloosa.

All your post said to me is you don't understand college football history and that bowl games were once considered exhibition games.

Stupid thread. Alabama doesn't claim it. They claim 1941 which is questionable. They were CROWNED, AWARDED, NAMED The National Champion by the AP and UPI in 1964 for an 11-0 record before the bowl loss, which was the norm at the time.

I could go get one made at the trophy store. Doesn't mean I rate it though.

But honestly who cares it's 1964, Alabama has done enough to prove its tradition. As an Arkansas fan this is where we need to step up.

It wouldn't be from the AP if you did.

When I said get one made that meant a replica of the trophy. It would say AP or whatever the one you have says.

The AP didn't give it to them, a representative did on their behalf....

Yes, another of their bullshite claims.

quote:

1964 National Championship- While the AP did award the NC to Bama (10-1-0), Arkansas had the better record, 11-0. Alabama played Texas in their bowl and LOST. The AP final poll was before the bowl.


By the way, Arkansas beat Texas that year.

Generally programs claim AP and UPI/coaches polls that are awarded. So...

Regardless, we're the SEC machine and the vols are irrelevant in everything.

Jokes on you lessers. Nick Saban.
