   This reminds me of a quote from AUbarnie:

   AUBARNIE: According to bammers, y’all have 12 National Championships, but according to my sources, they are all fake. Why is that?

   BAMMER: Logic vs. logic, how are AP and UPI titles fake? That’s like 30 years from now someone of a lesser program claiming BCS Championships are fake after a new determining factor debuts into the game of college football.

   AUBARNIE: But not all of your titles were recognized by the AP or UPI poll. In fact, in the 20s and 30s, you claim 4 titles and all of the polls that recognized you as champions didn’t debut until years later.

   BAMMER: Perhaps you should ignore what your clueless source tells you and do the research yourself. History lessen 101: Prior to the AP/UPI era, the Rose Bowl was indeed the championship game for college football and whoever won the Rose Bowl was deemed “champions of the universe”. In 1925 – keep in mind this was long before polls recognized teams as national champions – the University of Alabama had its first undefeated season and gave up only seven points. Alabama was the first “southern-American” team to be invited to play in what is now the most historic bowl in college football. Still, no Southern team—Alabama included—had earned enough respect to get an invitation to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

   Schools back east, reeling from criticism that they were sacrificing academics at the expense of athletics, declined to play in the game. So bowl officials reluctantly booked a game everyone knew would be a blow-out to earn a team outside of the south another National Championship victory: a weak Alabama team against the mighty Washington Huskies. But instead, Alabama upset Washington, stunning the nation, and causing a mass celebration throughout the south as this game is forever known as “the game that changed the south”. In nearly every town the team’s train passed through on the trip back to Tuscaloosa Southerners struck up brass bands and hailed the conquering heroes. And since you inbreds seem to be proud “confederates” maybe you guys should try and contact one of your ancestors through a seance and have them tell you all about it. And by the way, every title recognized up until the introduction of the AP/UPI era were all undefeated Rose Bowl victories which continued to help keep the south on the map.

   AUBARNIE: Excuses, excuses, excuses… Well what about the bogus AP titles when y’all lost your bowl game?

   BAMMER: The same AP title that recognizes us as champions prior to us losing our bowl game was the same poll that recognized you guys as champions in 1957 and guess what? You guys didn’t even play in a bowl that season due to NCAA probation. Allow me to repeat myself: perhaps you should ignore what your clueless source tells you and do the research yourself. History lessen 101: Prior to the later part of the decade AFTER the AP poll debuted, bowl games were considered exhibition games and national champions were awarded at the season’s end, which explains how and why we won the title before losing our bowl and how you idiots won the title without even playing in a bowl.

   Somewhat think about it as the way conferences once (and a lot still do today) awarded their champions by doing it toward the end of the season (for those who do not have conference championship games).

   AUBARNIE: Lies, lies, lies! Well what about the years y’all supposedly won the title when you clearly weren’t the best team in the nation?

   BAMMER: What about the years USC (1939, 1967, 1974, 1978, and 2003), Notre Dame (1943, 1946, 1966, and 1977), and several other teams (including the 2007 LSU team) won the national title when they clearly weren’t the best team in the nation? And if Alabama just claimed outright bogus titles, then why don’t we claim one for every undefeated season we’ve posted? Maybe because the AP/UPI poll did not RECOGNIZE US THOSE YEARS!

   AUBARNIE: We ain’t talking about other teams, we’re talking about BAMMER DAMNIT – NOR OR WE TALKING ABOUT YOUR FAKE UNCLAIMED TITLES TOO! But moving on…

   BAMMER: Another topic worth discussing, what about your bogus SEC titles? You know, prior to the SEC indicting a championship game, teams won the league title by who had the most SEC wins of those particular years. In 1988, you guys claim an SEC title, yet your sharing partner (LSU) had MORE SEC VICTORIES THAN YOU GUYS DID! And in 1989, your sharing partner ALABAMA had MORE SEC VICTORIES THAN YOU GUYS DID! And tell me what’s up with you guys hanging up SEC Western Division banners when you guys LOST the tie-breaker game that year?

   AUBARNIE: Lies… ALL LIES! CHANGE OF SUBJECT…
