The 70's were a great time to be a college football fan. The coaches still wore ties, the field was grass, the games were primarily during the day. The only teams worth worrying about were Bama, USC, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma and Penn State. With the exception of a few upstarts, no one else mattered. Bama rarely lost during the decade, and I'll wager those losses came to the teams mentioned above and vice versa. It was at this time that I became indoctrinated to Bama football. Ahhh sweet youth!
