They have trophies for their 'claimed' championships and banners hung in the stadium.
Right, Alabama has the AP/FWAA/NFF/NCF/BCS/AFCA/etc. trophies that were presented to them on display.

Alabama does not display 15 crystal ball trophies because Bama only won 8 Coaches/BCS/Bowl Coalition/AFCA trophies. And 4 of the championship years were before the crystal ball trophy. They display the trophies that were presented to them.

Do you see any crystal ball trophies in the 25, 26 & 30 trophy cases? Nope, because it wasn't awarded back them.


These were some of the national championship trophies presented to Coach Bryant. He was never presented a crystal ball trophy, because they didn't exist then. Bama could retroactively request them for 61, 64, 73, 78, 79 because they won the Coaches poll for those years.

Even Nebraska only displays the 3 they won. Though they won the AP in 70, they don't display a crystal ball for that year, because they didn't win the coaches, Texas did.

Now, you stupid fricks do realize you have been commenting on an artists' rendition virtual tour, not an actual photo.

Here is your mission should you have the intelligence to accept it.

Post an actual photo of these fake crystal footballs we have.

Alabama is not trying to bullshite people by lying about how many crystal ball trophies they've won, unlike Tennessee.

quote:

1925 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn’t exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.

The Associated Press Poll has been active since 1936. The AP took their final poll prior to bowl games from 1936 – 1964 and in 1966 and 1967. They took their final poll after the bowl games in 1965 and from 1968 – Current.

1926 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it!

1930 National Championship- The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933!

1934 National Championship- Alabama says they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel, Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who came up with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with his own system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946!

1941 National Championship- This is a complete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teams with better records in the top 20. Once again it is the Football Thesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SEC that year. Mississippi State won the SEC title..yet Bama claims a National title!

1961 National Championship- Finally a legitimate NC. .

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.

1965 National Championship- The AP gave this to Bama. That year there were three teams with better records than Bama. Bama 9-1-1, Michigan St 10-1-0, Arkansas 10-1-0, Nebraska 10-1-0.

1973 National Championship- AP puts Bama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama claims a NC from the UPI poll that was taken before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and lost. There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. The embarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to name champions after bowl games. Yet Bammer has no shame in claiming it of course.

1978 National Championship- AP gives this to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC (12-1-0) had the better record Guess who Alabama lost to that year? USC!!!!!!!!!. UPI gave the NC to USC.

Y'all claim 40/51/67 despite losing your bowl (and weren't even #1 in the AP or Coaches in 40/67). You can't have it both ways.
