And, FWIW, I attended both games. The Sam Cunningham goes wild game at Legion Field in 1970 and the first Wishbone game in 1971 where we beat the Trojans at the Coliseum and watched Bama RB Johnny Musso run wild (the first Italian Stallion, and who Stallone reportedly borrowed the name from).

Woody Hayes had a period like that too in the late 50's. He had his first losing season in 1959 and there were calls for him to be axed, despite winning national titles in '54 and '57.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View Post

Yeah. Bama was stagnant. He had to do something. He did and reinvented the ethos of his teams. Er, I mean Sam Cunningham did.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View Post

Random question popped in my head....who's the oldest living coach to win a national title? Got to be either Osborne or Switzer right? Now with Bowden gone.Comment

I believe Gene Stallings is older than both.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View Post"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Oops, looks like it might be Vince Dooley instead. He's 89. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't realize he was still alive.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostComment

Dooley then Stallings, I guess."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Good call. I forgot about Stallings too, cuz he did his at a relatively late age. And how could I overlook Lou HolthzOriginally posted by AlabamAlum View Post

Stallings: 86

The Wizard will never forgive you for omitting Osborne's half NC in '97."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

It was a whole championship. Yours was a runner up. Just be lucky you could hide in the Doze Bowl. Hell FSU and Tennessee were both better than M in 1997.Shut the fuck up Donny!Comment

I was simply pointing out that Dr. Tom had another half championship that deserved mentioning, and now you get all huffy ...
And really? You use Tennessee and FSU to strengthen an arguement against Michigan?
