When your prof wrote "0-11", was he dissing Alabama football or just the coach?
Or both?
He was dissing Coach Stallings. He was intimating that hiring the very conservative, low key, Bear Bryant anointed Stallings was a big mistake. It certainly looked like Bama was going to have a horrible year. One of the losses was to Southern Miss, and that was supposed to be one of those "given" wins. Southern Miss just happened to have one Brett Favre as their quarterback that year. I don't remember the other two losses.
That professor is still at Bama. I think he is a football fan. You don't last long around there if you are a vocal Bama football hater. (there are profs at Bama who don't care for Bama football, but they learn to keep their mouths shut.)
