George Teague Asks Whether "The Strip" Counted

[TideEngineer08]

I won't argue that Miami was a waning "dynasty" when we faced them on Jan 1, 1993. And I use the word dynasty in the loosest of terms.

In hindsight, Selma has all the critical points nailed down. The "experts" should have seen it. That Miami was so heavily favored proves that Vegas is not always so smart. Miami could not run the ball to save its life. Toretta was not Dan Marino. Miami's defense was great, but they were soft up the middle. If I recall correctly, Alabama did most of its damage running the ball between the tackles.

It may have been a narrow path to that that blowout score, but that 1992 team was the perfect team for said path. So I think uafan makes some great points as well. Although I don't think either of you are dismissing the other.

uh oh you gone and done it now mentioning Marino. you triggered a certain poster.

I remember the writer that kept voting Alabama #1 the whole year saying the reason he did and no one else did was because he "did his homework ". He said if they did too, they would have seen it coming like he did.

Corky Simpson. If my memory serves, he was an honorary invite to the championship parade.
