He was clearly the best at cheating.

How in the world to you get a Yankee like Joe Nameth to come to Tuscaloosa otherwise.

Yeah "Bear is dead stop living in the past". This coming from Bama fans who still wear houndstooth hats and clothes to every game . Yeah, not living in the past much.

Im not trying to start shite at all. I am curious about what "exactly" he was accused of. I always give Bama their props. This is not a shite stir.

Bryant's so called shortcomings have to be looked at with the rule book of the time in place, not today's. many of the things they did back then would be a violation in 2009. But EVERYONE had the same rulebook. Besides, his "dark deeds" fall far short of other well-known coaches transgressions:

Charlie Mac was a well-known pedophile.

Shug Jordan raped his own mother.

Vince Dooley shot down KAL-007.

General Neyland invented Zyklon-B.

I know what pedophilia is (not first hand thankfully) but not the other items.

you idiot... i guess we should just FORGET that we hat Coach Paul Bear Bryant at our university kicking arse for decades...

i guess you'd prefer it that we just completely vacate the wins too and NEVER talk about him because it's a BAD thing that he was here...

He knew the rules and took advantage of them. Back then you didn't have a limit on scholarships or the players you could sign, so he would sign kids that might never see the field at Bama

He is the reason you can't have the dual sport scholarships. If a guy is an awesome Basketball player and plays football too, then said guy is on a football scholarship. The Bear was signing guys to the basketball, track or whatever sport scholarships then suiting them up for football. Cheater? I would say no.

He was a drunk and a cheater. Cheated on his wife and cheated himself out of a healthy life.

Im not the one who said to lt it go he has been dead for decades a bama fan did. From the looks of it Bama fans have not let it go from all the houndstooth outfits. But your right maybe we can alldress up like midgits this weekend to dedicate our 03 NC to Nick Saban or we can wear a tall white LSU cap to the game to dedicate Les Miles.

I know he paid players to come to A&M, but then again so did Bud Foster at Oklahomo.

Books have been written digging up stuff (albiet mild) on Lincoln,for Pete's sakes. If Bryant was really pulling all of these cute ones opponents claim he did,don't you think it would have become common knowledge by now in SEC circles ?

so you admit that you like to get drunk once in a while... and you feel you are a better man than he is. noted.

I have heard that Dude Hennessey, an assistant that Bryant had going back to UK and now is with Tide Pride is a cross-dresser.
