Cotton Bowl: Bama over aTm 29-21

probably our most interesting team ever. We went 9-2 this year, losing to Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. We were outgained like 350 to 75 against A&M in the Cotton Bowl, but we won because they had 12 turnovers.

And, yes, we claim a championship for 1941. It is, in my opinion, the only one of our "thirteen" national championships that isn't legit.

Heisman Trophy winner was Terry Baker, QB from Oregon State.


BTW, he is also the correct answer for biggest QB bust as a #1 overall pick, despite what JaMarcus did.

Brooklyn Dodgers won their only pennant in Brooklyn. I was two weeks after the pennant so Dad could gloat. My dad had a 1957 Yearbook from Brooklyn and I hope my mom never dumped it.
