Title: "Alabama's All-Time Records Against SEC Opponents" Post by: Chechem on July 02, 2012, 06:49:06 AM http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2012/7/1/3130143/alabamas-all-time-records-against-sec-opponents
Quote An Alabama record that stood for more than four decades fell as the Southeastern Conference now includes a team with a winning record against the Crimson Tide. With the arrival of Missouri to the SEC fold, there is once again a team in the conference who has won more games against Alabama than they have lost. The Tigers from Columbia have met the Tide just three times and have been victorious on two of those occasions. Alabama first faced off against Missouri in the 1968 Gator Bowl and was downed 35-10. The two teams first regular season meeting was on Sept. 2, 1975 when the unranked Tigers shocked the No. 2 Tide 20-7 at home. (You can find recaps of these two games at SB Nation's Missouri site, Rock M Nation.) Alabama extracted a bit of revenge with a 38-20 victory in Columbia three years later that turned out to be a heck of a lot closer than the final score might suggest. Similarly, the Tide's limited number of games against SEC newcomer Texas A&M makes the record with the Aggies a tight one -- 3-1-0. Alabama's one loss in the series was the 1968 Cotton Bowl that pitted Paul W. Bryant against his former protegee and future Tide head coach, Gene Stallings. That 20-16 loss evened the series and Alabama would have to wait 17 years to meet the Aggies again and regain the lead. Prior to Missouri's entrance into the conference today, the last SEC team to hold a winning record against Alabama was arch-rival Tennessee...

Pretty funny image in the article (from a 1978 game program). What's this, suggestive of a D-Day invasion? Title: Re: "Alabama's All-Time Records Against SEC Opponents" Post by: 2Stater on July 02, 2012, 07:20:45 AM Love it! Coach Bryant walking on water, and the water being the Crimson Tide. :lol:

There was a group of students from Sewanee on the island in Belize. Good kids, but not up to DIV-1A standards!

That even makes Ears look good (or better). Title: Re: "Alabama's All-Time Records Against SEC Opponents" Post by: ricky023 on July 02, 2012, 11:48:16 AM I remember when Mizz. ripped us that 35-10. It was heart breaking to a kid who thought Alabama and CBB were the greatest thing going. The others I did not know the gap was so large. With the bad years we still stand tall over the other teams. RTR!
