National football championship tonight: who you got and why?

[coryfly]

I only started watching in the early 1990's... best team would either be 95 Nebraska or 01 Miami. Here's my top 5 from the team's I've seen play:

1. Nebraska, 1995
2. Miami, 2001
3. Texas, 2005
4. Clemson, 2018
5. Alabama (pick a year)

1. 2009 UNC

How could I let that team slip my mind? I'll never forget the time Hansbrough barreled his way right through Draymond Green and subsequently leaped over Raymar Morgan for a late-fourth quarter touchdown. Heckuva of a team. A lot of those guys played on both sides of the ball, too. So super impressive.

Where does this Michigan team stack up against the all time greats @hailtoyourvictor

After reading about Fielding Yost on Wikipedia I’ve come to the conclusion that Kansas should’ve given him a substantial pay increase to regain him after his 10-0 season in 1899 and they also should’ve just let him have whatever he wanted. His salary that year was only $350. Letting him go is probably the biggest mistake in the history of Kansas.

Edit - Also I’m retroactively declaring that KU team national champions. Don’t know how you can go 10-0 in 1899 and not be the national champion.

Congrats on your title, schooner!

I learned that James Naismith coached the 2nd eleven on that 1899 team as well. Pretty incredible to have Yost and Naismith as your coaches at one point. Also the starting quarterback was Bennie Owen who went onto fame as Oklahoma's head coach. They eventually named the football field after him where many still recognize the place as Owen Field today.

So in addition to North Carolina and Kentucky basketball, it looks like Michigan football and Oklahoma football also have Kansas to thank for their rise to blueblood status.

You're welcome.

That is interesting. It was a different world back then, eh?

Terrible time to live. Penicillin hadn't yet been invented and people rarely bathed. If a time machine sent me back to 1899 I'm not sure there's any woman in the world that I would be willing to bang.

This is now the first line on Charlie Weiss's resume.

Oral sex in 1899 doesn't appeal to you?

I'd rather sleep with women in the 1800's than drink the whiskey. Red meat would be third.

But you're open to other possibilities?

That's the only reasonable reading of that sentence.
