[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 860616, member: 1640"] I was a huge Snake Stabler fan but he got better in later years. Michigan State and Notre Dame were not slow like Nebraska. That’s silly talk. Bubba Smith was the number 1 pick in the NFL and proved his size and speed for years after that. That was a dominant defensive line that would have kept Stabler unsettled all game, much like Oklahoma would do a few years later to Heisman trophy winner Pat Sullivan at Auburn. I shared your southern bias in my youth but I realize now that was my regional pride blocking out reason. That Michigan State team helped usher in the modern era of football. Bear Bryant admitted as much. Years later Alabama would play Notre Dame in a televised night game for all the marbles. In an on field interview before the game Bear said, “This is the most important game for southern football in history. Alabama ran a gimmick play late in the game to keep it close but, alas, Notre Dame won. I hated Notre Dame and was stricken by the loss but the game was considered the best in college football since Notre Dame and Michigan State. It helped usher southern football into the modern era and the rest is history. [/QUOTE]
