🏈 If my memory serves me right about Colorado

Didn't we play them the first year of Stallings in a bowl game. If so, we all know how that sling-shotted that Alabama team into the national picture.

It seems like Deja Vu.

I think your thinking about Louisville.

I was very young, but for some reason I remember this game distinctly. I beleive it was the year before we won the NC...I think it was the Blockbuster Bowl

 

[RllTd3413]

Yeah! You are right. I remember the alabama players taunting the colorado players by simulating riding a buffalo down the sidelines.

It was a great game.

Big Al is correct. Our first bowl game under Stallings was against Louisville and it was awful. Browning Nagle was a no name QB that looked like Rohan Davey did against us in Franchione's first year at UA. Louisville was coached by Howard Schnellenberger (Bryant disciple) at the time, and they were ready to play. I was 18 years old at the time and I remember one of the sports writers for The Dothan Eagle wrote that the only way Bama was to lose this game was if the bus didn't show up.................guess what. As sickening as the loss was, it was hilarious to see this dill-hole try and crawfish the following article about how he got it wrong.

The last time we played them was in 1991 in a bowl game I can't remember. The next year of course was a special one...

I'll be hoping for the same good luck from them this time...lol! :twisted:

Currently the Florida Atlantic head coach. Thanks for the history lesson. ;tr

1991 Outback Bowl

Always remember the commercials had Rachel Hunter in a bikini saying "Alabama Crimson Tide" in that really hot Australian accent. Rowf

Also the game that put David Palmer on the National map with a great punt return for a TD.

Good Times

We lost the game at Florida that year ('91) and didn't lose again til '93. Wow, just wow!

No, it was The Blockbuster Bowl. Bama actually probably got shafted a little bit that year. At 10-1, they could have been chosen as the at large team in the Cotton Bowl, but instead they chose 9-2 FSU who was coming off two straight loses (which really didn't make much sense). Heck, they could have picked Alabama for the at large bid in the Sugar and set-up a rematch with Florida, but they took 9-2 Notre Dame.

Bama should have run 8-2-1 Colorado right out of the building, but the defense uncharacteristically struggled in that game. The game was a match-up of Freshman QBs pitting Jay Barker against Kordell Stewart. Barker found a way to generate 30 points in that game (Stallings’ teams weren't known for hanging points on the board) and led the Tide to victory, despite the defensive struggles.

We did play Colorado Stallings second year. Its when they had the QB named Darian Hagan. And we beat them. And we did win the NC the next year.

Speaking of Howard. When he was at OU for all of what...one, two seasons? He had a real problem with alcohol. To this day OU fans refer to him as Howard "SmellsofBourbon".

Fiesta loss then Blockbuster win. I was on the field for both.

Stallings first year saw him recruiting heavily before the Fiesta, which some say cost us that game against a program on the rise. (Not the first time. See Virginia Tech in the first Music City Bowl.) The following year saw the formation of a Champion to be.

that music city bowl game could have been the coldest game I've ever sat through. It sleeted the whole time. And, we took a pounding from Vtech.

Yep, if I remember correctly we had like one big play from Shaun and that was it. :? I mean we got hammered.
