    waited a bit to watch this to let TH-cam allow higher resolution, im not the most into football let alone sports but things like secret base will still catch my eye. this falls into that category; watching someone who knows what they're talking about talk about it with clean editing. another banger upload, even if a little unexpected to see a video like this on here. good job!

    Great video, really enjoyed it especially as a Michigan fan lol. Would love to see some more history videos on Michigan if you’d be willing, for example I believe Michigan should have 14 National Titles with their unclaimed 1973 and 1985 seasons you could make a serious argument they deserve to at least split with Notre Dame and OSU in 73 and Oklahoma in 85.

  • @hluzanations8410

    Great video! I wanted to add that you mentioned the south not winning a national championship before Alabama in 1925, but in 1919 Texas A&M went 10-0 and did not allow a single point during the season outscoring opponents 275-0. I know in 1919 there was no contemporaneous system for determining a national champion, but they were named co champion along with Harvard and Notre Dame retroactively with the Billingsley Report in the late 1960’s.

    He kept saying that the planes region wasn’t that good at football until Oklahoma in the 50s. He didn’t mention that Nebraska was actually quite good in the early 1900s and they were even offered to play in the first ever Rose Bowl. They were also the only team to beat Notre Dame’s four horsemen (twice).

    Supposedly, Bear Bryant scheduled that game against USC to prove to the board of trustees, alumni and general public that in order to be successful, they needed to integrate. I don't know if it's true or not but I'm 100% positive that he didn't really care about skin color. The only thing he cared about was winning. If that meant integration then that's what had to happen. If the opposite had been true and segregation was called for, he'd probably go that route as well. I guess we'll never really know.
