    We beat defending National Champion and undefeated #1 Florida in 1997 here.

    A better trivia question might be... How often does a team host TWO !@3 teams in the same year! (see above)

    I would take another 3-0 victory on Saturday... it would definitely be a good omen for us!

    "And believe me, to have been in the city of Tuscaloosa in October when you were young and full of Early Times and had a shining Alabama girl by your side--to have had all that and then to have seen those red shirts pour onto the field, and, then, coming behind them, with that inexorable big cat walk of his, the man himself, The Bear--that was very good indeed." - Howell Raines

    good stuff,

    here is another odd fact, the last time LSU lost when Nick Saban was in Death Valley was 2003 vs. Florida. And LSU has only lost 5 times when Nick Saban was in Death Valley. (of course he was on our sideline) but who cares.......im all about throwing out useless information out today!!:insane:
