I don't think Leweman was saying Alabama was the greatest football team. I think he was talking about the passion we Tiders have for our team. You'd be hard pressed to find that kind of loyalty and passion anywhere else. There may be some that equal it, but I don't know of any that exceed it.
If you want to watch NFL football, knock yourself out. I prefer the rich traditions and pure love of the game that is college football.
Also, do you know what Vince Lombardi's response was when, after winning the 1967 Super Bowl, he was asked what it felt like to be the greatest football team in the world?
Don't recall what Vince said.
He said, "I don't know, we haven't played Alabama yet." .
He should have said Notre Dame.
Oklahoma Sooner after ND beat them 38-0 in Norman in 1966: "I felt for sure like we were playing against the Green Bay Packers."
