2008 Alabama Mirrors Teams of the Past.

In the wake of Alabama’s 29-9 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers Saturday night it’s tempting to look back to the early 1990’s and make comparisons between this team and the teams Coach Stallings led. After all, if you want to know the last time Alabama won back-to-back games against the Vols you have to go back over 15 years.
If you do so, you’ll be making a bad comparison between ‘Bama teams of that era and this one.
Sure, the win in 1990 when Bama upset the eventual SEC Champion Tennessee in Knoxville by a score of 9-6 was the start of a winning streak. Sure, that win was followed by another, that time in Birmingham which marked back-to-back wins against our longest standing rival.
This victory by the Tide goes back to older days. Those days we talk about glowingly while rival fans accuse us of living in the past. In fact, after the victory Saturday night Alabama fans won’t be the only ones that can talk about the past.
