Why does the rest of college football hate Alabama?

1. Bear Bryant established a legacy of cheating:

"I beg to differ bammer Bear Bryant controlled recruiting in the state of bama Miss and GA the NCAA established Scholarship and recruting rules because of him. HE CHEATED to win. But I do not know why I am telling you Bammers this. it goes over your heads . You are all too stupid to realize the truth. The ALABAMA U is candy coated in under the table perks to all the athletes that were in what would be concidered blue chip territory. Bear did this to eliminate competition. you see he knew that he would be beat and beat often by great coaches like Shug. So he offered player money, on top of scholarships. THATS why you saw 100's of Alabama players at practise and only a few startting and even playing. Bear would bribe these great QB's to come to bama and then send them off to Junior colleges like west Alabama (were he had major ties) and tell them he wanted to let them improve for a year and he would call them back up only to go on to other players.. he was a cheater and a scum bag...

2. They're insecure aholes who would slit their own mother's throat to win a ball game (or sabotage a fellow state school):

" If UAB is no threat to Alabama then why did Alabama's BoT prevent UAB from hiring their head coach of choice not once, but twice?

Watson Brown was getting $375,000 and the Alabama BoT was just fine with that but once UAB wanted to hire Jimbo Fisher (somebody who is actually competent) for $600,000 (of which only $300,000 would have been paid for by the Bama system) the Alabama BoT made up the excuse of "financial responsibility."

Why did Alabama's BoT essentially force UAB to hire Georgia's OC, Neil Calloway, as their head coach? Georgia had the 90th ranked total offense and the 54th ranked scoring offense this year, there was nobody beating down Georgia's door to hire Calloway.

Calloway got his degree at Alabama, served as their offensive line coach and their offensive coordinator. Giving him a nice spot at UAB where his most important job would be to not take any Birmingham recruits away from Alabama, not a bad gig.

Alabama is a joke."

3. The pathetic claim of "12 national championships":

"SO THERE YOU HAVE IT?

Yes, in this man's opinion. Any of the facts I give can be readily checked. Know this though: If you try to throw all of this in some Bammer's face, you're not going to accomplish anything. Denial is too strong a sentiment and this is way too much evidence to the contrary of their status quo. It has to sink-in on them. Just like you can't give starving people a steak dinner suddenly, you have to work on your favorite Bammer gradually. But chances are, most of them have little idea of the history of their team and the true facts of their self-appointed accolades.

We'll never straighten this mess out. The NCAA will never touch it. They may sanction a playoff one day, but they will never go back and declare retroactively what titles can be claimed by what teams. Some years in the past, 5-7 teams claim a national championship for a given year. There's just too much ambiguity in all this.

WELL WHAT ABOUT AUBURN? YOU'VE ONLY WON ONE TITLE, WHICH IS WAY LESS THAN OUR 12 OR 7 OR HOW THE HELL EVER MANY YOU THINK WE HAVE!

True, we only claim one, but know this: If we used the University of Alabama method of determining MNCs, which is claiming back-dated titles and claiming titles awarded by minor, inferior selectors, we could claim six--1913, 1914, 1957, 1983, 1993, 2004. Thankfully, we take the high road and do not! The university officially recognizes only ONE--1957."

4. And now, "The Divot Game:

"Since Miles won't say anything, I will. This is beyond bad officiating. It's so undeniably awful, I'm beginning to believe conspiracy nuts who claim the SEC is protecting its heavyweight teams (Florida and Alabama) since, you know, every poor call in the last month has involved, uh, Florida and Alabama."

Any questions?
