    Here's the Cliff's Notes version:

    Bear Bryant kicked everyone's ass.
    Bama has been kicking everyone's ass for the better part of 70 years.

    Fin.

    Pretty accurate, but there were a few bad years in the late 60's culminating in the 1970 USC plungering of 'Bama in Birmingham, and they ended up desegregating the team finally in 1971.
    Actually Bama had a black player on the team in that game. He just didn't get to play. But then that wouldn't make for a charismatic BS story about Sam Bam Cunningham desegregating Bryants team, would it?

    My favorite is 1973 when they lost to an undefeated Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl and still claim the national championship.

    We don't claim anything. They gave it to us before the bowls. That's how they did it back then. We were also fucked out of several outer titles.

    If you want to talk shit about bogus titles, then the answer is 1941. That was complete bullshit. The rest are legit by the rules at the time. They've since been changed, which most agree is a good thing. But if you want to take a few away from us, fuck it, go for it. We've got plenty to spare.
    UW has its share of shady MNC claims as well.

    Nothing shady about '84. Hope that helps.

    @Crimsonite1,

    Is that the proverbial, "but I've got a black friend!1!!1" southern defense?

    Asking for a friend.

    Maybe. Actually he turned out to be a pretty good player. But he was a freshman and freshmen didn't play then.

    And your mother swallows and takes it up the ass, which is why I'm keeping her around a little longer.
    Wow....that is really mean spirited.
