Talk:University of Alabama traditions

message: There is no need for a full on national championship debate. Many universities claim many different years depending on what polls were prominant at the time or repected by those schools. There has never been an "official" NCAA Division 1 National Champion in football. There have always been differing polls throughout the years. This article is not the proper place for this debate.
*The issue is valid information, though. In recent times there has been agreement on "consensus #1" teams at the end of the season. And these days, like it or not, there is an "official" champion under the BCS. If "the debate" is covered on Wikipedia, a link to that article is in order. If not, it should be mentioned here. Perhaps the coverage on this article could be streamlined to refer to the coverage elsewhere and merely indicate that other teams claim championships for certain years. Simply blanking this much verifiable material for editorial reasons could be construed as pushing a POV. Dystopos 14:43, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I replaced "Gators" with "Auburn" only because Auburn is UA's biggest rival and UA does not play UF every year (they rotate from the East). I also added the homecoming to even the controversy some. I got the results from the CW and can add a link if anyone thinks it's necessary. --Streyeder 02:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Rammer Jammer

message: I just made an extensive rewrite of this article. I hope this isn't disagreeable to anyone; it was pretty messy. A few notes:
* I rewrote the introduction. It's rather lame I know, but what was there was copied from the main article, which was not very useful and didn't say anything about traditions.
* I reordered the sections into a more logical hierarchy.
* I removed the list of championships, as it was superfluous to an article about traditions, and already covered by the athletics article.
* The article needs some serious citing of sources. The only specific instance I tagged was the one about the MDB in Sports Illustrated; it shouldn't be too hard to come up with at least an issue citation for that.
* In several places I cleaned up the language without being very sure of the facts. To note one instance, was the "Rammer Jammer Cheer" named for the Rammer Jammer newspaper, or was the newspaper named for the cheer? Was the title of the newspaper hyphenated (as was written)? When was the newspaper founded, and when did it run?
**The lyrics that I posted for 'Yea Alabama' come from an old book of college fight songs.  The copyright notice had The Rammer-Jammer hyphenated.  It existed at least as early as 1926.  I think it (re?)surfaced briefly as an underground newspaper when I was there (late 70's). MccullarsJ 21:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
