    1964 and 1973 are a little shaky, but they're still legit. UPI (the coaches poll back in the day) awarded its NC before the bowls. That's not Alabama's fault. What, are they not supposed to claim them?

    And though they don't apply to Bryant, how can teams (1925, 1930 and 1934) that went undefeated and won the Rose Bowl (then the only bowl that mattered) and another that went 9-0-1 and tied the No. 1 team in the Rose Bowl (1926) not have legit claims to the national championship?

    But I guess if you're going to pick apart Alabama's national championship claims, the rest of what I wrote must have been solid ...

    I'm not seriously picking on anything. I'm just kidding.

    I gave up trying to have serious arguments about Alabama football a long time ago.

    Please do not tease the fanboy. Or should I say, "Please Hammer, don't tease him."

    It's cool. It's just that the rip-everything-and-everybody-even-when-the-facts-don't-support-you attitude people on this board have sometimes, irritates me.

    Wait, I'm confused...

    There are Alabama fans who claim a national championship in 1934?

    Just as there are UK fans who claim a national championship in 1950...

    I honestly had no idea anyone disputed Minnesota's national title from 1934.

    Is this just fans, or does the school itself claim it?
