Why does Alabama still lie about national titles?

I mean,

If everyone counted them the way Alabama does over the last 150 years, there would be over 250 claims.

Tell me I am wrong here:

Notre Dame got too much respect from the northeastern media types all the way up until the 1990s when the SEC came out and became king.

But in the 80s Bama went all in, then miraculously doubled down on the lie.

Ted......Why lie?

This deserves to finally be asked.

Response threads are almost always a bad look. This is no exception.

It's only fair since they have to play sticky day games.

It’s just a legit question to a legit statement.

quote:

“I tried to make Alabama football look the best it could look and just make it as great as it could possibly be. I was a competitor myself with the other schools, and what they bragged about and boasted about, I wanted people to know the best about my school.”

When you get trolled so hard by an obvious troll that you make a response thread.

Tough to watch. It does say something about those who spend their time messing w those w barely functioning brains.

There would be a lot more than 250 claims. I even remember seeing a post once on how AU could rightfully claim 9 more I think it was. I am glad they don't tho

I don’t think it was nine but Auburn claimed several more a few years ago- it seemed they were kind of floating the idea with the public. Hilarity ensued and they backtracked to the current number.

That would be the honorable thing to do. It was actually good that they floated the idea before putting it in black and white.

Bamas own fanbase would complain ‘bout how they wuz lied to. All the “17” tattoos would have to be lasered off and that ain’t pain-free.

Fanbase divided.

Besides 1941, please list all the titles that Bama claims that no one else would.

Prior to 2009, this was a legit debate. Now, not so much. Alabama doesn’t have 17 titles. Take those away. Alabama has 12 POLL era titles, still more than anyone else, poll era or pre-poll and poll era.

Everyone wants to be Alabama, even this Sooner fan. Conference titles are nice. But NCs are nicer.

They still have an inferiority complex because it is the state of Alabama.

You sound like a broken record. Glad LSU is on your mind 24/7.

Take away the questioned titles and Bama still has more than anybody. Move on OP.

Well, I think LSU has 4...about 1957 with the Chinese Communists, about 2003 and 2007 thanks to Alabama’s coach, and last year when they apparently beat Alabama 44-16.
