🏈 Alabama Fans Panic Over Dramatic Win Misplaced

[CRIMSONTUSKS.COM BLOG]

By Greg Truelove (bamafan4ever)

I knew before I even looked at the various blogs and message forums after Alabama's close, last second win, over the Volunteers that there would be the typical second guessing and wringing of hands by Alabama fans despite another win.

Forget the fact that Alabama had played ...

Greg, just building a bit on what you've put together.

Here's a great stat pointed out by someone on another forum.

Only one team has faced five SEC teams in a row, and won, in this decade. This 2009 squad.

Ironically, Florida did in 1996. What happened in '96 with UF?

Having that week off; I guess we will find out the value of that soon as we get a week off before the LSU game while they have to prep for Tulane. If you have to have a week off, this is a good one to take huh?

The last time an SEC team played five SEC games in a row and won them was Florida in 1996? Since then there have been 13 years. 12 SEC teams means 12 full football schedules for each year. 13 season multiplied by 12 teams is 156 scheduled seasons. 156 years of football if you will and this Bama team is the only one to accomplish it during that stretch. AND, there are several National Champs in that "failed" column as well.

Great stat! We actually will play 7 in a row after LSU and MSU. If we win those two, I wonder how many teams in the past have reeled off 7 SEC wins in a row?

:shock:

Wow, I never saw that coming at all. That is very impressive. Are we certain that is true?

If so that really puts this all in perspective.

Also, didn't UF play 'Bama in the SEC CG in '96?

i hope everyone is getting the point of this.. i was so excited at the end of the game then every bama fan i talked to acted like we sucked.. i heard stuff like we don't deserve to be in the top ten, and we will get embaressed by lsu.. it really made me mad.. not to mention how wrong it is to undermind what kind of play cody made... if we win the NC this year that block will be immortalized.. he deserves his chance to be a hero, not hearing how bad bama sucks.. i am still pumped.. i think this year is in the stars..

Heartbreaker. Lost 40-35 in an awesome game. Shaun went on to run wild on Meechigan though. That was kind of fun.

Again, Florida in 1996. They played eight in row.
