25 years ago, Alabama's Sugar Bowl masterpiece made winning national title a breeze

When teammates meet for reunions, the memories flow as freely as the libations.

Tales grow larger than life as years pass. It's blurry where truth ends and exaggeration begins.

That could have been the case earlier this football season when Alabama's 1992 national championship team held its 25-year reunion.

On a squad that became the third in college football history to finish 13-0, no doubt that weekend this past October produced romanticized antidotes.

Like how Alabama won the first SEC championship game over a Florida team that blanked the Tide 35-0 the previous season.

Or how the Crimson Tide's sophomore quarterback was a 54 percent passer who threw for fewer touchdowns than interceptions, yet ended the season with a 17-0 record as a starter.
