AUG. 17, 1952:
This image of Hank Williams as he left the Alexander City Jail after being arrested for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness on Aug. 17, 1952 has become an iconic photo for collectors. Some say it serves as a preview of the way his life would end.
By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Hank Williams will always be one of Alabama’s favorite native sons. His music created a legacy that is still treasured today. His death at the age of 29 on New Year’s Day in 1953 in a hotel in Oak Hill, West Virginia left Nashville saddened for the loss of a musical giant. But just four and a half months before Hank’s passing, Alexander City got a glimpse of the downward spiral brought on by alcoholism and prescription drug abuse

The night Hank Williams was locked up in the Alex City Jail
that began as Williams struggled to cope with years of back pain. Aug. 17, 1952 is a day that will live forever in the history of Alexander City. That was the day that Williams was arrested and spent some time in the Alexander City Jail. The original citation was unearthed several years ago as the Alexander City Police Department was going through old files. That citation has been duplicated and a now hangs in the office of Deputy Chief Jay Turner along with the now famous photo of a bare-chest-

If you have driven down Highway 280 in Alexander City this week, you may have noticed that a new building has appeared virtually overnight. The prefabricated building that will serve as home for a new branch of River Bank & Trust was put in place Monday at the corner of Central Boulevard and Highway 280. “I know people have been saying, ‘where did that come from?’” said River Bank’s Randy Dawkins. “They had been preparing the site and getting it ready for the building and it See BANK, Page 3

aspects of jazz have influenced my painting, and the rhythm. Like jazz, my painting is more abstract and in the moment.” Bazinaw says he will make a few conscious choices before letting the right side of his brain take over. “I will consciously pick things like colors and a brush,” Bazinaw said. “Then being left-handed, I believe in See ART, Page 5

Council to consider zoning for 53 parcels So called island parcels that were recently annexed into the city limits will have initial zoning designations set at Monday’s meeting of the Alexander City City Council. The 53 parcels were annexed into the city by a vote of the legislature, after the council sought the move with a vote on Feb. 3. Some of the property owners involved in the annexation were Russell Corp., Parkdale Mills, Dudley Lumber Company, Curtis Wellborn, Roy Granger, Robinson Iron and Robinson Foundry. Preliminary zoning recommendations show no significant changes from the way the properties are currently used. The council will also vote on calling for a public hearing on three properties that

Prior to his two years at TPI, Hardy worked with the Alabama Sports Festival Foundation. “I think that my previous two jobs have prepared me well for this new position with the United Way,” Hardy said. “TPI helped me become more familiar and better initiated among business people in the area and I think that will help me be more successful in this position. My time with ASF helped me become familiar with how non-profits operate. “Hopefully, I can be successful in helping better bridge the communications gap between the United Way and the people, its member agencies serve and in helping with additional initiatives for the agency.”

Friend drafted as photographer gets harsh review from bride
Sunday

DEAR ABBY: Recently, my husband was asked to be the best man at his friend’s wedding. The happy couple did not have the financial means to hire a photographer, so I was asked to take pictures of the ceremony and reception. I’m not a professional photographer, and the bride knows that. I gladly photographed the nuptials on the couple’s big day. Of course, I charged them nothing for doing it. I am now on the receiving end of insulting comments regarding the photos I took. When the bride rudely voiced her displeasure, I was taken aback. I did nothing less than my very best to accommodate her, and I have received nothing but ingratitude and disrespect for my efforts. I believe in keeping commitments I have made. I intend to complete the edits of the original photos and create a wedding album as I promised. However, how do I tactfully address the situation with the

DEAR ABBY Advice
bride if she “reminds” me again of my lack of professional photography skills? -- SAD NEWBIE PHOTOGRAPHER DEAR PHOTOGRAPHER: Alas, it seems that no good deed goes unpunished. The next time the bride “reminds” you, all you have to do is “suggest” that for the next happy occasion she spend some money and hire a professional instead of hitting up a friend for a freebie and then complaining about the result. DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, “Riley,” who is the sweetest woman I know. She’s in her mid20s and has a stable job, but I’m afraid she is setting herself
up. She rescues animals that are terminal or nearly so. She’s great with them and should become a veterinarian. A few she has brought back to health, but others just can’t be saved. My concern is that when Riley loses one, she breaks down. She cries for hours on end, but the minute she gets a call, she willingly takes in another one. She’s like a sister to me, and I respect and admire her determination to care for these creatures and give them love when no one else will. How can I nicely say to her that I think she shouldn’t accept any more rescues because she will only continue to get more depressed? -- CONCERNED FRIEND IN GEORGIA DEAR CONCERNED: There is no nice way to say that to your friend. What you CAN say is that you are concerned about her because of the depression she experiences when she can’t save one of her animals. For an animal lover, the loss of a pet is
painful and personal, and her reaction isn’t unusual. DEAR ABBY: I am hoping you can clear this up. A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I had some of his family members over for a visit. It was very casual, as usual, more like a Sunday afternoon drop-in. I came out of our room barefoot, because I usually walk around that way in the house. I was scolded by his grandmother and told I was rude to walk around barefoot when there is company. Was she right? -BAREFOOT CONTESSA DEAR BAREFOOT: No. She was out of line to criticize you. If people choose to go shoeless in their own home, it’s really nobody else’s business.

Burglaries of trucks, mowers total over $250,000 By Willie Mosley The Tallassee Tribune
Tallassee police were called to the scene of two burglaries on Notasulga Road at approximately 6 a.m. on Monday and their ongoing investigation indicates that not only were the two burglaries related, the total value of the items stolen is over a quarter of a million dollars. “The incident began at around 3 a.m.,” said Tallassee police chief Jimmy Rodgers, “and the subjects left the second business just before 4:30 a.m.” “Upon initial investigation, it was determined that three Isuzu pickup trucks (which are) flatbed, delivery style, and a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 four-door truck were stolen (from the first business),” Rodgers detailed. “The same individuals left this business and proceeded down Notasulga Road and stole four Cub Cadet zeroturn lawnmowers, still in crates.”

This a surveillance image of the two-tone pickup seen at the scene of the first crime involving burglaries of trucks and mowers in Tallassee.
The crimes appeared to have been coordinated, and the perpetrators numbered seven or eight, according to Rodgers. Video surveillance images taken at one of the locations shows subjects arriving in what appears to be a black SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Tahoe, and a twotoned older model pick-up truck, possibly a Chevrolet
C-1500 with a lighter stripe in the center. The subjects were last seen heading south on Notasulga Road. One of the four vehicles stolen at the first business has reportedly been recovered. Still missing are a 2004 Isuzu Truck (VIN# JALC4B14247008773), a 2014 Isuzu NPRHD Utility Truck (VIN# JALC4W163E7003091),
and a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado Truck (VIN# 1GC1KVCG4DF123792), as well as the four mowers. If apprehended, subjects will be charged with two counts each of burglary and felony theft of property. Police are urging anyone with any information to contact law enforcement authorities.

and was making a fuss after a day of traveling and drinking, according to historical accounts. “I believe he was more or less having DTs,” Chief Winfred Patterson was quoted as saying in “Hank Williams: The Biography” by Colin Escott, George Merritt and William MacEwen. “He was running up and down the hall of the Russell Hotel yelling that someone was whupping old ladies and he was going to stop them.” After a few hours, reports indicate that Darwin Dobbs , who had been hosting Williams and some friends at his Lake Martin lodge, posted a $25 bond and paid the $10 fine and Williams was on his way. Legend has it that is was after getting out of jail that Hank penned “Kaw-Liga,” which would become a No. 1 song after his death. Before he became ill, Williams was a regular visitor to Lake Martin and the Alexander City area. His recorded interviews with long-time Alexander City disc jockey Bob McKinnon have survived and are available on YouTube.
In 1950, Williams talked with McKinnon about his love for Alabama, Alexander City and the people who called the area home. “Alabama is my home and always will be,” Williams said “We are kind of partial to the people in Alabama and the good people there in Alexander City. We get back to Montgomery every two or three months and visit my momma. It is sure good to get back home. … I’d like to thank everybody in Alexander City for supporting us and buying our records.” The legend of Hank Williams may grow even larger. Sony Pictures is working on a movie based on his life adapted from the book “Hank Williams: The Biography.” The film will be called “I Saw The Light” is expected to be released in November with actor Tom Hiddleston playing the lead role as Williams.

Support the United Way and its ‘Super Heroes’ campaign
T
he Lake Martin Area United Way is gearing up for its annual fundraising drive and this year it has set an ambitious goal of $530,000. The need in our community is great so the agency is asking for area residents to be “Super Heroes” and help them raise the funds that will make the work done by 26 agencies possible. The kickoff is set for Tuesday Aug. 25 at the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center on the campus of Central Alabama Community College. Over the next couple of months, you will see the agencies that are supported by the United Way featured in The Outlook. We hope this will help you get to know more about the good things that you help these groups accomplish with your donations. We know that this is not the last time we will remind you, but we hope this plants the seed to inspire you to get involved this year. This is probably one of the most important years for United Way to make its goal. There is a large need in the community among local charities. Your donations make sure that people in need have the most basic needs like food and shelter at times when they have few other options. From working to end homelessness, provide youth services, promote early learning, offer health services and help older adults – your dollars do great things for our community. Donations can be made with confidence the money will reach those in need. The program runs with minimal overhead. Our area is made up of people with big hearts and we know that residents will again become “Super Heroes” and give to this worthy cause. Your donations will help make a difference in someone’s life. Let’s do our part to make help the United Way help the community this year.

illary Clinton shut down the haughty John Barrett Salon inside the Bergdorf Goodman store on Fifth Avenue in New York last week while she had a haircut and coloring, which reportedly could have cost $1,200. It’s imperative that she look good for her upcoming stump speeches on the excesses of capitalism and of “the rich” in America. It will be interesting to watch Hillary, who has made over $100 million (as have Al Gore, Harry Reid and similar liberal co-conspirators) through crony capitalism, invoke class warfare and vilify the successful in her quest for coronation as the Democratic presidential nominee. “Atlas Shrugged,” the 1,168-page “door stopper” of a book by Ayn Rand, inspired many of us and foretells the politics of today. In hopes of getting you to read the whole book and to explain the banality of Democratic class-envy rhetoric, the following passage from “Atlas Shrugged” is called “Francisco’s Money Speech.” A character in the book, entrepreneur Francisco d’Anconia is confronted at a party by a liberal interloper, who indignantly murmurs, “Money is the root of all evil.” “So you think that money is the root of all evil?” d’Anconia replies. “Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is
RON HART Columnist
not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil? “When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper, which should have been gold, are a token of honor – your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money. Is this what you consider evil? “Take a look at an electric generator and dare tell yourself that it was created by the muscular effort of unthinking brutes... .” “But you say that money is made by the strong at the expense of the weak? What strength do you mean? It is not the strength of guns or muscles. Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think. Then is money made by the man who invents a motor at
the expense of those who did not invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools? By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy? Money is made – before it can be looted or mooched – made by the effort of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability. An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more than he has produced. “Money permits no deals except those to mutual benefit by the unforced judgment of the traders. Money demands of you the recognition that men must work for their own benefit, not for their own injury, for their gain, not their loss – the recognition that they are not beasts of burden, born to carry the weight of your misery – that you must offer them values, not wounds – that the common bond among men is not the exchange of suffering, but the exchange of goods. Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men’s stupidity, but your talent to their reason; it demands that you buy, not the shoddiest they offer, but the best that your money can find. And when men live by trade – with reason, not force, as their final arbiter – it is the best product that wins, the best performance, the man of best judgment and highest ability – and the degree of a man’s productiveness is the degree of his reward. Is this what you consider evil?” Ronald Hart is a syndicated op-ed humorist, award-wining author and TV/radio commentator. His columns are carried in over forty newspapers and online publications

There was an attempt to move revenue from use taxes from the Education Trust Fund to the General Fund in the special session. This would cost ETF $250 million. As expected, the education community pushed backed strongly with a barrage of emails and phone calls to senators. While this measure came out of committee with a favorable 8-6 vote, it never came to the senate floor before they closed up shop and went home on Aug. 11th. However, apparently Governor Bentley did not get the message as he now says that some existing dollars in the state’s better-funded education budget should be moved to the General Fund. Bentley has said those dollars that move over should be replaced by revenue from new taxes. (Will someone please tell me why you would take monies from one pot, move them to another, and then talk about finding new taxes to go to the first pot that you just took money from? Where I come from this sounds more like a check-kiting scheme than any-

thing else and people go to jail for attempting it.) Bentley said moving money from the education budget into the General Fund is a fundamental change in how the budget process works and he will continue to push to make it happen. “There will be some tough decisions made,” said Bentley. “The decisions will be to adequately fund the essential services of state government or not. ...These cuts affect people’s lives. They affect people.” He is right. Public education is an essential service of state government. Many would say that it is the MOST essential service. And yes, it does affect the lives of people, a great many of whom are less than 10 years of age. We have 300.000 children in Alabama in poverty. You could fill up Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa three times with just children of poverty. Unfortunately, try as we might, many of them will never escape the grasp of poverty. But those who do will look back some day and thank a caring teacher and a concerned school. For most, education is their ONLY hope. Most people in Alabama know that Governor Bentley has not taken a salary since taking office. This is admirable and appreciated. But this
is only possible because the governor had a career that was financially rewarding. And what made this career possible? His education. Like me and many other Alabamians, Robert Bentley was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. We both graduated from rural high schools in 1961 and headed off to college. He became a physician, I became a journalist. We can both thank public schools and their teachers for giving us the foundation that carried us this far. Governor, before you call the next special session I suggest you spend a couple of days visiting schools in rural parts of the state or in downtown Mobile or Birmingham. Stop by Berry Elementary in Fayette County and let principal Debbie Devours explain how she has to fund raise to pay for telephone service and copying machines. My guess is that no one in the governor’s office is bothered by such. Last time I was in the state capital I did not see machines selling snacks lining the halls so that workers there could keep their phone service working. Governor, be sure and tell the principals and teachers you meet they have all the resources they need. And tell me where you are going because I want to be there to see the looks on their faces when you do.

that right side brain creativity. I will let it take over.” Music comes into play for Bazinaw also. “I see the rhythms in my work,” Bazinaw said. Bazinaw got his start in the art world with music as a child. “I watched MTV as kid,” Bazinaw said. “I saw what they were doing and where all they were going. I joined the school band as a means to an end. The band director did not like that I used the band as a means to an end. I was always getting into trouble for tuning the drums for a different sound to play whatever Guns N’ Roses was playing at the time. I have the distinction of being thrown out of band in the 8th grade. But they did take a hyper kid and get him to settle down some.” Bazinaw created a garage band next. “There were not many of us around that were interested in the garage band thing,” Bazinaw said. After the music thing did not work out, Bazinaw turned to writing. “I was a musician, then I started writing music,” Bazinaw said. “Then the band broke up but I kept
writing, poetry type stuff. “My ears and hearing have always been my favorite sense,” Bazinaw said. “But music is too easily stolen now a days. So to remain viable as an artist I picked up painting about five years ago.” Bazinaw is just now starting to show his work. “I have shown some pieces at Emporium Wine,” Bazinaw said. “I am starting to talk to Henry about a solo show now that I have enough pieces.” The other thing painting has let Bazinaw do is connect with his 14-year-old daughter Hannah. “She is quite the artist,” Bazinaw said. “She is a writer too. She has been painting about a year. Painting gives us something to do together. It is a chance for her to make choices as I supervise, but never too direct or heavy handed.” Bazinaw may have a problem selling his paintings. “She (Hannah) claims a lot of them,” Bazinaw said. But Bazinaw does not it see as a problem. “I am driven to create things,” Bazinaw said. “It is something that is so necessary for me to do. If one form of creation is taken, I will find some other form.”

Horoscope
JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You might Âżnd yourself in a situation where you have the ability to end a problem and move forward. How you deal with a personal problem could be more important than you realize. Stay upbeat in your dealings. Tonight: Time for some good old-fashioned fun. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You might want to hear more from a loved one whom you care about. Make plans to spend plenty of quality time with this person. You might be surprised by what comes up for you if you just relax and hang out together. Tonight: Let someone else choose. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You could be at the end of a problematic situation if you are willing to discuss it completely. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a personal matter open up as a result. You might feel uncomfortable at Âżrst, but the results will justify the discomfort. Ease up. Tonight: Stay close to home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --Join in on a project involving a neighbor or a close relative. You are likely to get an earful, some of which might be important to hear. Otherwise, stay centered and enjoy the camaraderie of the moment. Confusion surrounds a conversation. Tonight: Visit with friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You might want to understand what it takes to continue on the present path. How you handle a personal matter could change after you see what someone else wants and expects. You have the right to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? if need be. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a night out on the town. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You will be on top of a problem. Honor a fast change of pace, and know what you want. Others respond to you and your ideas. Understand that a loved one could distort your words. Clarify, if you see this possibility occurring. Tonight: Understand what needs to happen.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Listen to news and remain censored. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume that you have all the answers. Understand what can occur if you choose not to interfere. Realize what needs to happen, but move to that goal slowly. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to jump immediately in a new direction. Tonight: Calm down. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Zero in on what you feel is important. Your sense of direction comes out when dealing with friends. You know how to make others feel special. Draw out the best in those around you by encouraging them to help you with a somewhat silly project. Tonight: Where the gang is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Deal with an older relative directly. Understand what this person wants, and then open up a discussion. Whether you can follow through wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be important in the long run. This person often makes unreasonable demands. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Decide to hop in the car and take off for a favorite place. You seem to need a change of scenery. Others who are with you will beneÂżt as well. You will be able to detach from an issue and approach it later with a promising solution. Tonight: Reach for the stars. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Defer to others. A suggestion from a loved one will delight you. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to imagine what could be better. Your ability to understand what is going in between you and someone else will encourage you to say little. Time heals. Tonight: A cozy dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --Visualize more of what is going on with others. Demonstrate your sensitivity and ability to understand. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a matter in a new light, which will take you to a new level of understanding. Stay open to changes and new possibilities. Tonight: All smiles...

Elmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant advances in statewide steak contest By Willie Mosley The Tallassee Tribune
A popular restaurant in the Tallassee area has moved into the next â&#x20AC;&#x153;bracketâ&#x20AC;? in a statewide â&#x20AC;&#x153;best ribeye steakâ&#x20AC;? contest. Elmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant, located in the Liberty City area of Macon County, has now advanced from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sizzling 16â&#x20AC;? bracket to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enticing 8â&#x20AC;? category in a competition sponsored by the Alabama Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association. Voting is done online. The restaurant, which specializes in Southern cooking, has been open eight years. According to co-owner Kelly Jones, this is the third year in a row Elmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has been nominated in the ribeye contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first year, we finished seventh,â&#x20AC;? Jones detailed, and last year we were knocked out in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sizzling 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (round).â&#x20AC;? Elmer â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is up against a restaurant in Livingston in the South Alabama region of the contest. Other competitors include two restaurants each in the North Alabama, Central Alabama and Gulf
regions. Jones also noted the reasons why she believes Elmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ribeye, which is the only cut of steak the restaurant serves, is popular enough to have been nominated repeatedly for a statewide contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a special seasoning that we put on it,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we cut our steaks to order; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t marinate them.â&#x20AC;? Jones estimated that the restaurant serves some 100 ribeyes a week, but during the contest, the total rises to approximately 150. While the restaurant can count on regular ribeye patrons who travel from Montgomery, Opelika and Lake Martin, Elmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has also served such steaks to customers from Australia, New Zealand and England. Should Elmer â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advance to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fiery 4â&#x20AC;? category, judges will dine incognito at the restaurant, according to Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who they are, or when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming,â&#x20AC;? she said. Online voting for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enticing 8â&#x20AC;? category is ongoing at www. AlabamasBestSteak. com.

Reeltown junior William Wright will look to have another All-State caliber season in 2015 as he makes the move to the middle linebacker position on the Rebel defense.
By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
Whether it is in the trenches or in the middle, Reeltown junior William Wright doesn’t really care where he lines up for the Rebels. As long as he gets to do what he does best, he feels blessed to play a big part of one of the state’s best defenses. As a sophomore defensive end in 2014, Wright recorded 80 tackles and 12 sacks and was named first team All-State for Class 2A. He said last season was a great one, but he is always looking to get better. “It feels like a blessing. It just makes me want to grind harder and get better,” Wright said. “Everything that I didn’t do last year, I need to get better at for this year. I just take it as a blessing to be playing and try to get better every time I step on that field.” When Wright lines up in the trenches opposite of his opponent he looks to make all game tape obsolete, as he changes up his approach each down. “I just try to be unpredictable and make the opposing linemen have to block me. I change up what I do each time and try to give the quarterback a hard time,” Wright said. “It takes a lot of lot of hard work and strength, most importantly. It takes listening to the coaches and doing your job.” Wright attributes his success to hard work hitting the iron in the weightroom, as he said
this off season has been a good one in preparing for 2015. “The weightroom is the best thing I could have ever done. It’s just stretched me out, made me more flexible and stronger,” Wright said. “Now, I move a lot faster and I’ve gotten a lot stronger during the off season.” This season will see Wright take on an even bigger role for a Rebel defense that lost a lot, as he will line up at middle linebacker in 2015. He said he is excited for the challenge of learning the new position and stepping up as a leader. “This year, I’m going to do some work at middle linebacker. It’s always fun learning something new, and if it helps my team, I’ll put my all into it any time,” Wright said. “Being on the field, it’s just a blessing, so any time I can step on the field no matter what position, I give it my all.” Despite that youth, Wright said the Rebels are poised to once again be one of the state’s best defenses. “I think we might have one of the best defenses again this year. We’ve had a lot of young guys that have come in and worked hard,” Wright said. “They’re helping replace what we lost and everybody has come together as a team and gotten better.” And the goal for this year, much like his teammates, is to send legendary Coach Jackie O’Neal out on top in what is likely his final season roaming the sidelines for the Rebels.

Claiming national championships is a flawed method of gaining prestige
D
uring the slow burn between the past couple of weeks and the official start of football games next week with high school teams getting started, one story stood out to me. On Monday, Alabama State Sen. Tom Whatley, R-Auburn, proposed a resolution urging Auburn University to claim nine national championships. To go along with Auburn’s two current national titles (1957, 2010), the resolution calls for the claiming of national titles in 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993 and 2004. “The Auburn football team also proved itself to be the best team in the nation in 1910, 1914, 1958, and 2004,” the resolution states. “All nine of these special seasons are held close in the hearts of Auburn coaches, players, and fans and should be embraced by the university as championship seasons.” Now, I could sit here and type a pages-long rant about how this resolution was proposed during a special session mainly dealing with the state’s budget crisis and $200 million(!!!) shortfall in the general fund, but that’s text best saved for The Outlook’s opinion page. No, my beef in this column is the idea of claiming national
ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
championships and mythical national titles in general. And no, I’m not only going to pick on Auburn here because even if they did claim seven more titles they would not be the first university to do such a thing. First, let me just start by saying that pretty much every college football national championship is mythical. You have heard it a thousand times before, but that’s not going to stop me from saying it here: college football is the only sport that doesn’t determine its champion on the field. Now, that statement is not 100 percent true anymore, but even though we now sort of determine the national champion with a playoff, sort of, people are already claiming that system is inefficient. The result is that since the birth of the sport the national champion has been determined not on the field, but by the press, coaches, and anyone else with enough influence or name
recognition to attach their name to a trophy or news article. That’s why you can look on school athletics websites, NCAA.org, Wikipedia or wherever you search for your college football facts and notice that there are multiple national champions on any given year. The problem with claimed national championships is back in the good ole days of college football, anyone could give out a national championship and it would be accepted most times without question of the merit of the entity giving out the title. You only have to go back to the 90s and see how ridiculous that was. In 1990, four teams lay claim to being national champion (Colorado, Georgia Tech, Miami (FL) and Washington). Also, claiming national championships in this current day and age serves no purpose at all. Frankly, claiming titles from more than a hundred years ago is just dubious. The only purpose of claiming a national title from the early 1900s is so that we can sell a myth (hence, mythical national championship) to future generations. My favorite part from that legislation is the part about how those seasons are cherished by fans. Seriously, how many Auburn
fans remember the 1910 team or that season in college football in general? I’m not kidding, I want to meet them. You also have to take into account the politics of college football, especially in those days. This is the same sport where Baylor was able to successfully gain membership into the Big 12 because of threats in the Texas Statehouse. Alabama and Notre Dame take the cake when it comes to inflated national championship totals. All one has to do is go back and look at who awarded some of those titles and you can break 15 national titles down to about seven somewhat reputable ones. Take the 1930 season, where Notre Dame was crowned champion under the Dickinson System, which is some system created by a University of Illinois economics professor to determine strength of schedule. Oh, and Alabama was also crowned national champion that season retroactively by Parke H. Davis, a former player, coach and historian whose main claim to fame is specifically looking back at the seasons from 1869 to 1932 and retroactively awarding national titles, so that counts for something, right?
Claiming titles in the statehouse now would be even less reputable than the Associated Press crowning the best team in the land. And what good would it really do if Auburn all of a sudden had nine national championships? Just because you say it doesn’t make it true. It’s like how we’re supposed to pretend that Reggie Bush didn’t win the Heisman because somehow improper benefits contributed to him being the best player in the country. Another example of this revisionist history is the call to claim the 2004 national title. Did Auburn get a fair shake at the national title? No. But they were not national champion under the system that they and every college football team agreed to crown their champion in the Bowl Championship Series. Listen, I’m not saying that any of those teams that went undefeated or whatever don’t deserve recognition, but retroactively awarding national championships is a flawed attempt to add prestige to one’s program by placing significance on having a higher number of mythical titles than another program.
