22 Days!

 

"22 Days!" till # 13!!! 13 National Championships!!!!

 

^^^I hope you're right... but I'm gonna keep it down low 'till it happens. It's not like we're playing Cinci. We went and pissed off the best QB in the country last Saturday, and Bama's record against Texas is pathetic (though, it's been 27+ years since we played).

22 days and we'll all find out.

 

My tickets arrived yesterday. Christmas came early. Can't wait to see Texas win another. Hook'Em!!!

 

I agree. Colt is pissed and the "Horns" will be ready, but I think Bama will also be ready. I think Bama has/wants to prove something, especially after last years Sugar Bowl!!
It'll be an excellent game and who ever wins, will be well deserving. I just the Tide rises in Pasadena!!!

 

I thought this was funny...

 

sweet

 

First... CONGRATS to Alabama's NCAA record SIX first-team All-Americans:

Mark Ingram, RB (unanimous choice)
Rolando McClain, Linebacker (unanimous choice)
Terrence Cody, D-Line
Mike Johnson, O-Line
Javier Arenas, Cornerback
Leigh Tiffin, Kicker

Second... 21 DAYS!!! (Look for it)

 

20 days until the Championship Game!!!

 

I know he is #12 but Im just going to post you biggest nightmare for the next 20 days.

 

I ain't skeered!

 

Ha Ha. You keep telling your self that if it helps you sleep better at night.

Wow just found this.
Thoughts???

It does help me sleep. That, and a little booze.

That sticker is a bit premature. If we win, I want to get a window flag that's crimson and has a white 13... but I'm not ordering a damn thing until I see 0:00 on the clock and we're the ones celebrating.

Of course... Ask the Huskers how that goes...

EDIT: I went to that website. I kind of like the "22 The Man" stickers. Won't buy one, but it's cool.

 

If I understand a little about how bammers think you can claim 13 now. After all your game with the gaytors was the real MNC game.

Here is something a friend sent me. I probably dont need to mention what theam he pulls for.

12 National Championships? … The Real Story
I just wanted to clear up a few misconceptions about Alabama’s claim to 12 national championships based on fact rather than bias. Credit is given where credit is due.
To clear up confusion, the word retroactive means they went back in time to award the championship.
‘TWELVE’ national championships is fraudulent, nothing but pure bunk ginned up by the SID Department. Here’s a rundown:

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.

1979 National Championship- Their second legitimate NC. Their first Unanimous NC.

1992 National Championship- Their third legitimate NC. Their second Unanimous NC.
You can see why people ridicule Bama fans when they talk about 12 NCs. The early ones were awarded by individuals years after the games were played. These weren’t consensus polls but NCs awarded by people that had their own formula for determining champions. Some NCs were given before bowl games that Bama lost. Using Alabama logic, Auburn could claim four national championships. But when Bammers brag they like to say they have twelve and Auburn has one. How silly. The NCAA recognizes 6 NCs for Bama and there are only two NCs that Bama has unanimously. You can’t find an Auburn site claiming four national championships but there are plenty Bama sites claiming twelve.
Debunking the Alabama National Championship myths...

 

^^^interesting^^^

 

I guess your f-tard friend pulls for Auburn? They have exactly ZERO national championships. (You read that right... Zero.) The entirety of Auburn's focus is "how can I bring them bammers down?" They have spirts of good teams, but it's usually when Alabama is down, and even then it's not great. I've heard the last several years of Auburn football referred to as among the best in their history. Here's what they have to show for it:

-ZERO national championships
-1 SEC Championship
-1 undefeated season (though, that's more than the Gators can claim in their school's history)
-6-game streak against their in-state rival

I guess it is great to be an Auh-buhn Tiguh

Yeah... I have to agree w/ the 'internet argument' thing. What's the saying... arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics... Anyway, I'd had a few last night and was in a bad mood.

RE: the 12 national championships, I can't change what my school claims. There are certainly some that are controversial. The ones where the championship was awarded prior to a bowl loss isn't our fault, either. That's just the way it used to be, so saying it's not a legit championship doesn't make sense. It's like the BCS now... If you win the game, you're the champ, even if there's a potentially better team that was left out of the big game. You deal with the system you have in place. That was the system then, and so that's that.

RE: the Auburn comment from last night. I JUST heard a guy call into a local radio show. He's an Auburn fan and just had a few comments about how he wants to see the Auburn team proceed. He said that the AU coach needs to win their bowl game, then go out and keep up the good recruiting he's done so far, and then he needs to beat Saban in a couple of years.


That was it, and that's typical of what you hear from Auburn fans. No mention of an aspiration to win the SECC, and certainly no mention of the NC. Their goal is to do well enough to beat Alabama. It makes their season when they do. After the Auburn game this year, an Auburn fan said to a group of fellow AU fans (and me), "Well, we didn't succeed in derailing the national championship train, but we certainly stopped that 'Ingram for Heisman' nonsense." It just made his day to think that Auburn had done something to affect Alabama negatively.

It's always about beating Bama. That's why they've always been and will always be the second school in the state.
