Because that's around the time Miami became relevant. And it took a Bama guy to make that happen or they wouldn't even have a football program down there...
So true and thanks for that :up:
Actually i chose 1980 because if I went further back Bama kicks our ass with what 15 Nat titles ?
The very first football game I ever saw as a toodler was an Orange bowl Bama game. I used to had a Roll Tide pendant hanging on the wall dad got me at the game. Seemed like they always played in the Orange bowl classic every year back then. Great history and tradition which no Florida school can match.
