Do everyone prefer to play bama at night or during the day? I don't think it matters due to the fact we don't seem to have a problem winning at bryant denny. I do think that cbs will pick up the auburn/uga over the Lsu/bama game. I think au/uga is a bigger rivalary than lsu/bama? I am making the road trip to Tuscaloosa this year, and I was just wandering what time do you all think this game will be?
Bama really does have a hard time defending their home field...we have the same mentality about playing in T-town. 5-0 all-time
Agree Aubie, we just can't seem to get it done against y'all at home. LSU has had success there as well but Bama has owned LSU in their stadium since '69 with only a loss here and there the last couple of years, 2002 notwithstanding. It's weird how some teams just do well at some venues and horrible at others: Clemson has never beaten NC at b-ball in Chapel Hill. Never. Bama had a better road record than home record for awhile in the 80's, UT seems to play well at ND, etc..
Looking at 100+ years of college football records there are always going to be weird stats that stick out. Alabama is 0-7-1 against Texas all-time. Go figure...
Last 5 years, LSU is 4-1 against Alabama and 2-1 at home. No doubt Bama dominated LSU for years. We hate that and Alabama loves it. I remember growing up how Alabama pretty much dominated everyone. Now, times have changed and things have shifted. Alabama is a notch below LSU and Auburn in the SEC West. There is no way in hell that Bama fans can expect a reversion to the old pattern of dominance for as long as they were dominant in the 1970s and 1980s. Winning seasons, sure, but not dominance. There will not be another streak like the one that went back to 1969 ever again. No reasonable Bama fan (is there such a thing?) can honestly say they expect to be as dominant in the future as they were under Bryant and Stallings. So you have that Bryant-Denny West thing to hang your hat on for the past, but that record is getting smaller and smaller in the rearview as the years pass.
