I know that people believe that everything was perfect with Bear Bryant, but there was alot of fuzzy stuff that went on with recruiting and such way back then.
I can promise you that those players did the same stupid shite that players today do,

eh...to a certain extent. Talking to players from Maclendon's teams, there wouldn't be but one or two that failed a drug test (if they had drug tests back then). I'll just say that the players of that era were from a "different cross-section" of American society than today. Not saying they were way better, but it was different thant today no doubt.
