I don't think we have ever won a NC during a season when we did Rammer Jammer...I may be wrong, but I know that it is a modern era cheer, and I think it had been banned in 1992. Of course, as most know, it is a copy of Hotty-Toddy, brought to UA by Dr. Fergesun, who was the band director at Ole Miss. I think it started around the time Bryant retired.
RJ is kind of a hot button topic. When you talk about banning it, people get up in arms...but it is not a Bryant era cheer, and I know it was banned in the 80's & 90's for a while. Of course the pregame "we're gonna beat..." RJ was done away with entirely, just a few years ago.
Just my opinion...no need to argue...but my opinion is that RJ and the angry elephant need to pass into obscurity. The angry elephant is a Bockrath/DuBose era emblem. The elephant stepping through the A, and the Bryant A, are better. The angry elephant looks like something off of a box of captain crunch.
Others are entitled to their opinions, but I am almost 100% positive we never did Rammer Jammer in a season we were national champions. Championships are tradition...RJ is a controversial cheer.
