    Yes, Bama fans ARE awfully fond of counting championships.

    Try as much as you like, it won't bother me. Just so long as you don't actually get there, I don't mind at all. :yelwink2:

    Red, even when your agreeing with me you sound conflicted.

    There was a championship I don't think we were special in.

    You can quote me:
    1973, half the vote was taken prior to a tough one point lost to nutter dame

    We also got beat out of a few.

    Its a beauty contest most years, some years are more beautiful than others.

    In 2007 you came dangerously close to miss congeniality.

    Did I tell you we also got beat out of a few.

    Yeah, Bama claims it but most of the polls went to another team in 1973. Also in some other years that you know well. But they all feel special to you don't they? Same with us. Our Championships aren't supposed to make our rivals feel "special."

    Close only counts in horseshoes and H-bombs, chief.

    In 2007 LSU won the national championship on the football field by beating the number one team in the country. Period.

    Alabama has never won or lost a national championship game.

    No, it didn't feel special, as far as that being a special team, which was my point, once upon a time.

    However I'm happy enough with our team. I hate we don't have a true playoff, but I've given up hope on that.

    What success others have in the sec is really fine with me. Fans Being happy about it, is a given.

    So what do you think of my new mantra:

    If its special to YOU, its special to ME.
