    Bama Game Thread: Bama SDSU postgame :(

    Excellent way of putting it.... Last night reminds me of 2015 Kentucky. They were trying to be the first Division I team to ever get 40 wins and the first to go undefeated since 1976 Indiana. 40-0 was their historic aim but they lost to Wisconsin. You would think Wisconsin would have gone on to...

    Link: Winningest college football teams over time

    I totally agree. In 1973 Ohio State had to tie Michigan for us to be #1. If not Ohio State, Oklahoma probably would have been #1 at the end of the year if they had not tied USC. Barry Switzer claimed that they would have won the nat'l title if they had not missed an easy 4th qtr FG against USC...

    Question About 1972 Season/Bowl Game Decision

    One of Coach Bryant's craftiest moves in those years was to schedule an extra SEC game. It also counted for the conference title. This worked beautifully in 1972. Auburn upset us as is well known. What is less well known is that Coach Bryant's crafty move cost Auburn an SEC Championship. Auburn...

    Do You Want Oklahoma And Texas To Join The SEC?

    No. Too big. Don't need them. They need us. The SEC had won 6 straight football national championships before Texas A&M and Missouri joined and I believe 3 basketball national championships in 6 or 7 years.

    Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. UCLA...

    If it offers any comfort on our free throw shooting, consider this. We were 11-23 in regulation. But Gary put back an Ellis miss of the front end of a one-and-one with 6:34 remaining . Stat sheet says 0-1, but the equivalent due to Gary is 2-2. That makes 13-24. Then substitute Reese's 3-pt bomb...

    College Football's Greatest "What If" Scenarios

    The 3 best teams in 1988 were Notre Dame, Miami, and Florida State with Miami probably the best of the 3. However, Notre Dame had beaten Miami and Miami had beaten Florida State. No one would have seriously asserted that West Virginia was as good as Miami or Florida State. But they received the...

    College Football's Greatest "What If" Scenarios

    I don't think the "What-If" scenario is as much about how big of an upset a loss is as its a "Dang if we had made this play or if that had not happened" we would have won the game. It also includes the stakes involved. Auburn fans can say that if they had not been caught napping vs 2013...

    College Football's Greatest "What If" Scenarios

    What makes no sense is why Auburn people are not more upset about losing the 2013 National Title game to Florida State. It is hands down the WORST LOSS in Auburn history. They led 21-3 with about two minutes left in the 1st Half and had stopped FSU on downs but were caught napping on the fake...

    ADMIN NOTE: Effects of pandemic on sports...

    The college football season could be moved from Sept-Dec to Jan-April if need be. Lets face it, the economy will have to restart in a few weeks regardless and the vaccine is about a year away. So there will be a long transitional period between the end of the social distancing/stay-at-home...

    1975 Sugar Bowl - Coach Bryant vs Tom Osborne

    Your points are well taken. I just thought the late date (Nov. 8) of Oklahoma's loss differed qualitatively from Alabama's in the first game. Regional politics as much as anything. I very much miss the bowls on New Year's Day from back then but NOT the politics and biases of the polls. That...

    1975 Sugar Bowl - Coach Bryant vs Tom Osborne

    I never understood why Oklahoma's decisive defeat to Kansas 23-3 at home at such a late date (Nov. 8) did not cost them more. Their victory over Nebraska was overrated. One-point wins over Colorado and Missouri and a 3-point win over a 2-8 Miami team plus the loss at home to Kansas should have...

    What was the best team ever Alabama played?

    A mythology surrounding the 72 Orange Bowl has developed I believe. That Nebraska team is often regarded as the best of all-time which I have no problem with. I'm actually a great admirer of the 71 Huskers, but the difference between them and 71 Bama is not as great as is commonly believed. A...

    Bama Fan Reactions CFP Final Play

    I agree regarding "Saban and Alabama". Remarkable synergy. The Alabama name attracted Saban. The Saban name attracts recruits. The Saban name attracted Alabama. The Alabama name attracts recruits.

    Bama Fan Reactions CFP Final Play

    The rule allowing a player to go pro after 3 years has probably benefited Saban and Alabama. For example, if you had Ingram, J.Jones, and Dareus returning in 2011 they would have been even more formidable, but some of the future recruits that chose Alabama probably would not have. You would have...
