Less and less ... as the people who swear they knew Bear and therefore actually care have been dropping like flies.
Whatever the total is, be sure to subtract one since only a total puss would claim the 1973 "title" that Notre Dame fairly and squarely won on the field.
so its 12 or no? what championships were contested... or shared... like USC and LSU in 2003... (as much as I HATE to say that)
The number was 12, but the Bama archeology majors uncovered another 5 at a dig site bringing the total number to 17.
They claim 12................ My room-mate is a Bama fan and I think every shirt,cup,hat,key tag, sticker,helmet,hell everything that says Bama claims 12 titles.
