to Radl,Re: "Auburn got a royal screwing a few years ago". I've had it explained to me how that came about and it was unfortunate... I think the State of Alabama agreed on that. Yet to ME, the 'People's NC' thing with the rings etc seemed a bit desperate, but that's just me.
You can claim that Alabama "claims all kinds of NC" all you want, yet it is not true. sorry
I’ve got a dental appt at 1120 but I’ll listen to 105.5 here in Mobile while driving over there and see if it’s on...this thing is just too weird.....I’m getting the feeling that the Awburn folks are pretty divided on this...I just don’t understand Tubs saying he’s going to stay and work for the President. I went to al.com to see what was being said and that’s what he’s been quoted as saying, that he’s staying on to work with the President but didn’t give any particulars other then to say he’ll stay out of the limelight and away from picking a coach....
I do know of one case where Minn was recognized by the polls as the NC but some minor poll gave it to Alabama which is one of the 12 they recognize. Maybe you should take a look at this:

I agree with you re: NC. We got screwed and that is just the way it is. I’ve also learned not to blame a loss on the refrees. A good team plans for bad calls and just plays through it.
