No serious Bama fan really claims 1941, either. But when you've won 100, it's easy to sneak one in and not have anyone notice. Personally, I'd be embarrassed if we tried to claim a 1941 national title. We finished 16th that year.
16th!!?? How?

It doesn't matter what "serious fans" claim. The University of Alabama claims 1941, so that means Alabama claims it.
I agree that we don't really have a case for 1941 beyond the fact that we have a stronger case than a school who claims one. However, we were undefeated (though with a tie) in 1940, so we should have no qualms claiming that, definitely a stronger case than UCF in 2017.

EXACTLY. They are acting like Rebels.

Hey guys from the Lodge ... make us a 1940 and 1941 National Championship Hat and Quarter Zip pull-over.
And make a Maroon hat with "2" over a Mississippi Map with a "Bully Banner" icon on the side
Like this hat....

Happy 80th 1941 National Champs!!!
Here, here. I second that. We are the 1941 NC Bulldogs of college football. Put the banner up in DWS somewhere.

They don't talk about 1941 because it was so long ago but Bama claims it every time they print the # of titles.
Challenge a Bamer on the number of NC titles and see what happens.

Even though this post is partially accurate, the substance is solid and can't be denied.
Fact Checker sez Germans bombed us, not Japanese. Other than that, solid and factual.

Ownership of something ethereal requires 4 things:
(1) Hats with "1941" worn by MSU fans
(2) Banner on the Field
(3) Granite etching on an athletic building
(4) A statue of Allyn McKeen
If a Minnesota guy balks, you Balk back. "You guys don't even have Championship hats, sorry Gopher"

no one has said one thing about Alabama's legit playoff runs. They have the money and fan base and best coach we get it.
That's what about ism bullshit to cover up Alabama's lies an false claims to fake titles and a very Ole Miss thing to do. And why? You would still have plenty of legit ones.

I believe the story is in the 80s a bama SID went back and reranked several years and "gave" bama several titles. We should certainly to the same thing, have Rosie, or whoever, write an article renanking 40 and 41, and claim it. It would be cringe worth at first, but before long everyone would forget and accept it, like Bama fans accept their 18 (or so) titles.

Allyn McKeen was the MSU GOAT

The article sets the stage for 18 national championships. They really have 12.
We should definitely claim 1940 and 1941. Two complete seasons, only tied one team. Beat the shit out of bama both years.
