Johnny Mack Brown was my favorite screen cowboy when little. I had no idea he was a football hero before that.

Roll Tide bump for later read. By the way, any illiterate Auburn fans who need this read to them Public Radio-style, let me know.

I just finished a biography on Wallace Wade. A greater man and coach you could hardly find. I wish my Blue Devils were as serious about football as they used to be.

Great as this game was, that was nothing compared to one of the biggest upsets in college football history, when Columbia beat Stanford 7-0 on January 1, 1934! We're talking a team of de facto scrubs beating a decently established powerhouse in college football at the time....

Would loved to have seen that game. I never knew JMB was a 'Bama football player. Must have seen every movie he ever made from the old time cowboy movies they used to show everyday after school. Had about five plots and made a thousand movies from them, lol. The same chase scenes in all the movies, too.

I'm not the football historian but I thought it was in the 1920's when Georgia Tech beat the team from Tennesse 221 to nothing because John Heisman was fed up with the national rankings. If Ga Tech was concerned about national rankings how does that jibe with this article? Believe me, I don't know, just wondering.

Well, the Alabama v Penn State game in which Barry Krause stopped the ball carrier on fourth and goal from the one to win the game sticks in this old head as the greatest piece of Alabama football history.

More dreck from the apologists who thought winning was synonymous with annihilation.

"H.L. Mencken at the Baltimore Sun was writing very critical and satiric editorials about the brain cavity size of the typical Southerner and it was not at all uplifting or complementary to the South,"I wasn't alive at the time, but Mencken seems like he was the Michael Moore/Bill Maher/John Stewart of his era...
IOW, a complete leftist jerk.

You can look at the 1926 Rose Bowl as the most significant event in Southern football history," said Andrew Doyle, a history professor at Winthrop University who has written about the sport.Sorry, Sam "Bam" Cunningham USC tail back tearing up the Tide on National TV was much more significant.

Coach Wallace Wade was named for the Scottish hero William Wallace.
BTW, if any of you folks are interested in DVD's of old Alabama games, highlights, and specials, a fellow from Dothan who I met through eBay has a website that sells and trades them. If you're not an Alabama fan, they make good gifts for customers who are. eBay has a lot of old Auburn games as well.
My Dad graduated a from API(Auburn) in '49 and my wife and I graduated from The University in '82 and '83. We don't talk football much lately.
I am in no way associated with the site.
