Anybody beating that probably connected to the internet with an abacus.

Not sure about "abacus" but..
@252BAMA & @Sid Youngleman were at bama in 61....they well were born in 41....
As to being a fan as tender age...i dont know...but if their first words were rolltide...( or any other words) ...
Have to give them #14 ( whether its recognized outside of ttown or not)

Surprises me... I would have expected you to be a post 2000 born person based on your post and the fact you are a soccer fan .

Well, I'm a late convert to proper football, was never around it as a kid.

You are from the south? If so how were you not exposed to football? If not that also explains a lot .

I'm from a small town in the South. I grew up playing American football, not proper football.

Did not know there was American versus proper. I assume you mean soccer.

You're missing out. Much better than American football.

I’ve tried it and my son plays. But watching the pros roll around on the ground and squirm like they had their foot cut off, only to be healed by a quick spray of WD-Jesus and jump up and never even limp, just turned me off. Especially after a reply would show the player often didn’t even get touched or at most got their foot simply stepped on.

In my sons U12 league one team has 2 players that do this. They want to be just like the pros. The refs have finally caught on and have given them yellow cards on some occasions. The kids’ parents have been livid. Lol I hate that crap, just ruins the entertainment and competition for me. I want sport, not theatre.

Gah lee, if you couldn't make more enemies you always one up yourself.

The Brazilian influence (flopping) has gotten out of hand, but I still prefer it to American football.

The NFL and now NIL have all but ruined American football for me. I keep up with Bama, and that's about it.

Yeah, I am at 14. Didn't realize '61 was not included in the 12 when I posted 13. And although I don't think Bama should recognize '41, I understand Houlgate's thinking. That was a helluva win over aTm in the Cotton Bowl. They (aTm) had lost but two games in three years.

10 for me. Born in 1966.

Good luck with that!!!!!!

10 for me but i really only remember 8. The others i was young and didn’t really care about sports at the time.

My pawpaw never watched a full game. I remember he’d have the game on the radio and would have mawmaw ring the bell when the 4th quarter started. He always said we’re a 4th quarter team.

I think maybe the farm demanded he kept on top of things and just would sacrifice for the his responsibilities for that short period of time. Then it was back to work. Truly our best generation.

 

[mando]

Good luck with that!!!!!!

Yeah the youngsters think they know everything. Like my son (early 20's) is starting to figure out his mom and dad are a little smarter than he thought lol.

 

[TerryP]

Good luck with that!!!!!!

If I listened to you we'd have Dabo as the head coach, Shula as the offensive coordinator...
