🏈 Let it sink in. For the 6th time in the last nine years Bama will play for the national title.

[TerryP]

Damn. Just damn.

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Crazy.

Insane.

 

[sean]

right?

it's almost too good to be true. and if it is, do NOT wake me up! i'll come out swinging, lol.

 

[JoshB]

What's even crazy is they beat...no, dominated the unbeatable Clemson!

Okay, now I'm really done being petty. This really is a run that no other team/coach will likely be able to duplicate anywhere else.

 

[Bamabww]

Amazing. Roll Tide.

 

[kbama15]

It's Great being a Bama fan!

 

[jdpas29]

Great to see the defense have that kind of game against a good opponent and to see Alabama run the ball more and with more authority.

Roll Tide Roll

If my lipreading was correct, he told Daboll exactly what a hoard of Tide fans has been wanting to say.

He said he was acting like a fan. Funny enough, but I'm taking that one like a compliment.

If anyone needs some seasoning just go visit the other football boards. Free salt everywhere.

“What are you doing here? Tell me why you are here. If you are not here to win a national championship, you’re in the wrong place. You boys are special. I don’t want my players to be like other students. I want special people. You can learn a lot on the football field that isn’t taught in the home, the church, or the classroom. There are going to be days when you think you’ve got no more to give and then you’re going to give plenty more. You are going to have pride and class. You are going to be very special. You are going to win the national championship for Alabama.”............Coach Bryant

 

[UAgrad93]

Unbelievable run that we are on!! Makes you wonder if Avery got the #BuckleUp from Saban!

well.....did he lie?

They flashed a stat up last night and I can not find it. I think CNS is 8-2 against AP#1 teams and no other current coach has more than 4 wins.
@TerryP can you verify?

That's close, though not sure of the exact number. I want to say he's now 6-1 at Bama and had two when at Michigan State (OSU) and LSU (OU.)

Last year lost to Clemson at #1. I can't think of who the second would be.

 

[planomateo]

Yup, he's 8-2 @#80 @TerryP

6-1 at Alabama
2009 - Florida (W)
2011 - LSU (L)
2011 - LSU (W)
2012 - Notre Dame (W)
2014 - Miss State (W)
2015 - Clemson (W)
2017 - Clemson (W)

1-0 at LSU
2003 - Oklahoma (W)

1-1 at Michigan State
1996 - Nebraska (L)
1998 - Ohio State (W)

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Saw this morning....has 7 wins vs #1.....next HC has 4....
Going by an old memory here....but pretty sure that was what I saw

 

[TerryP]

1996 - Nebraska (L)

Ah, I remember that now! That was the year following the blood bath we saw when Nebraska ran over Florida in Sun Devil Stadium. The game sticks out because Nebraska lost in '96 to either Arizona or Arizona State early on in the season. If I remember this correctly, it was the week following their game with Michigan State.

 

[#80]

And no other current coach has more than 4 wins against #1. VERY impressive.
