Dadgum Robbie, will you give up on this Roll Tide thing? We know it’s you. Tide never shows up in the recruiting messages, almost never shows up in Dooley’s columns, but shows up here EVERY TIME.
.
Really, could you be more obvious?

“It was and continues to be a popularity contest.”

I actually agree with you there. Although, it’s too bad for Florida. They usually aren’t good enough in the popularity contest to get any votes. Otherwise, maybe you could claim some as well.

Roll Turd – Go back and look at those championships you speak of. There were other teams that should have won them. Also, there were no “sanctioned” body, recognized by the NCAA to crown a champion. Many media outlets put out their own rankings and fans, like Bamer fans, go back and cherry-pick the ones they like. There really wasn’t any legitimate way of declaring a NC until the BCS came along and matched #1 and #2. It was and continues to be a popularity contest. That’s why we have a watered down playoff system coming. The recent championships have been controversial; so, one can only conclude that most of the NC’s Bamer fans claim, from decades ago, were and continue to have no legitimacy. Like I wrote earlier, take your crap and post it on Bamer sites, with the rest of your tea bagging buddies. Maybe you guys can start a tea bagging competition and crown a NC for it, as well. You just have to leave the farm animals out of it.

Roll Tide….If you were any type of fan that BAMA should be proud of you would just enjoy your wins instead of being a complete Ass!
Bama is still a 1 sport school! We win the SEC all sports trophy every year because we have 27 sports not 1! Congrats on your wins but dont be a jerk type winner!!!
Now lets talk all sports….For instance Florida is on a 22 game consecutive Bowl appearance streak second in the nation…and in this past Olympics the Gators sent 34 athletes and the total number of medals won by gators was more than 32 NATIONS!!!!!!!!
and Dont even begin to talk about the quality of the 2 Universities and the academic rankings!!!!! Go Gators!!!!! Bob in Jupiter
PS I am a Grad school alum…..and season ticket holder and member of the Gator Nation!!! Go Gators…..

I’m sorry, 5th place behind LSU, Arkansas, Georgia, and Florida in the SEC which would make UA just slightly better than average.

Ain’t no bama wannabes here!

Toll Ride,

Even with last year’s success UA is still 4th in the SEC in overall national championships, your website lists 23 through 2012. Plus one season does not make a history of athletic excellence.

You really haven’t made a dent on the national scene with no top ten finishes in the National all sports trophy in the last 20 years.

In the SEC UF has captured the trophy 22 of the last 25 years and I believe 11 in a row, where is UA in this group?

Trying to make us wish we were you just ain’t going to happen!

So MO-ron would you like to talk about academics now?

Whatever makes ya’ll feel better. A National Title is a National Title. Saying Bama backed into national titles because of other team’s losses is kind of ironic seeing that Florida has NEVER had a perfect season and therefore, backed into all 3 of theirs.

GIGator, as far as “taking credit for NC’s that were awarded by unsanctioned bodies”, the 10 NC’s in the past 50 years were all AP/UPI/BCS, which as ALL considered sanctioned bodies. I know some were awarded before bowls, but they were still awarded…by sanctioned bodies under the rules they followed at that time. And the undefeated 66′ team should have been the only 3 peat in history. Only segregation backlash made voters pick teams with a blemish (ND/Mich St) over an undefeated 66′ Bama team after back to back in 64-65. Can’t even take credit for that one that was deserved.

As far as Bama being a one sport school alrg8tor? Alabama won 5 National Titles last year alone. Moron.

Toll Ride,

Guess that’s ok if you’re satisfied with being a one sport school, we’ll see a little emphasis of that fact this Saturday won’t we?

Here’s one from the SEC website:

Fun Fact: The University of Florida is the only school in the nation to finish in the top 10 in national all-sports rankings every year since 1983-84.

UA isn’t even in the top three for the SEC (only) all sports trophy.

But then you always have Dreamland!

You guys need to just ignore the Bama fan. Let him keep on with what he is doing. Acting like that is what Bama fans are known for and he is just keeping up a tradition. People like him are proof for everyone to see how Bama fans behave. They don’t have a reputation of being backwoods, ignorant, and out of control for nothing.
