the Barn's spring practice

[thethird]

appears to be going well. They have some holes to fill, but they seem to be reloading every year, these days - with all their recent top 10 recruiting classes; and the fact that thay have more SEC wins than any team over the past three years. It's amazing that Bama is 0-3 in their last 3 SEC games and tha Barn is 23-3 in their last 26 SEC games. That stat is absolutley amazing. I don't think Bear, from the ancient days, accomplished that. Some people compare Saban to Bear. They might want to consider comparing Tommy Tuberville to Bear.

and also none of the coaches mentioned drank much bourbon, save Bear Bryant.

Your posts are always hard to decipher so I'm not entirely sure which stat you imply was so unaccomplishable by the Bear. A 23-3 record in 26 SEC games, or doing so while the Barn went 0-3. I know that from '71 thru '79 Bama's SEC record was ridiculous, it was hard to find a year when they lost an SEC game. I could reseach the numbers and let you know if you're really up to feeling like a heel. Oh, by the way, a drunken Bear still accomplished more than a sober Tuberville could dream of. RTR.

[Crimson Kicker8]

I could reseach the numbers and let you know if you're really up to feeling like a heel.

Uh-oh, I just did. Ok, fruity pebbles, chew on this. From 1971 thru 1975, Alabama went 34-1 in SEC play. I know you're not a math major so let me simplify, THAT'S 34 WINS IN 35 GAMES OVER A 5 YEAR PERIOD. What does that equal? I'll answer that for ya too, it's a hell of a lot better than the 23-3 mark you are so proud of. As always, I provide sources for my numbers.


So what's the moral of the story? If you're going to play the football history game with another school, don't do it against Bama.

Big deal. Try this on for size:

Conference Record, 1990-2000

Conference Record, annual
Year Florida

2000 8-1 SEC Champs
1999 7-2
1998 7-1
1997 6-2
1996 9-0 SEC Champs/National Champs
1995 9-0 SEC Champs
1994 8-1 SEC Champs
1993 8-1 SEC Champs
1992 6-3
1991 7-0 SEC Champs
1990 6-1

I think this is a bad topic for Auburn fans to be throwing stones with. The only schools that won't be able to top your figures are probably Vandy and MSU.

[thethird]

I guess the difference in this argument is the fact that AU's great coach in alive and well with no attentions of going anywhere anytime soon. ALA's great coach has been dead for a while now. Least UAT will always have the past....the good ol days!

based on that record right there, you are tied with auburn on SEC championships, thats 1990-present for you, and all-time for them:laugh:

edit: i forgot about you winning it this year, so make that 7 for you and 6 for auburn all-time


here is the breakdown based on the website above

Alabama- 21 SECC's
Tennessee- 13 SECC's
Georgia- 12 SECC's

Auburn- 6 SECC's
Kentucky- 2 SECC's

and if anyone cares, just for fun
SEC West-43 SECC's
SEC East-34 SECC's


former SEC members
Georgia Tech- 5 SECC's
Tulane- 3 SECC's

Here is a sad yet compelling fact: Ga. Tech left the SEC in 1964.

No, the difference is NorthFla was puffing his chest about Tubby's 23-3 SEC record and said he didn't think the Bear had accomplished anything like that, even though he went 34-1 at one point in his career. Again, the Auburn fan brought up the past (never a good idea if you're an Auburn fan) and I countered with the facts.

The pattern here is simple, you guys bring up the past, we put you back in your place based on the past, then you whine about Bamers living in the past. Read the first post of this thread and see for yourself.

[thethird]

Before any of you start blasting my post that it was about the past and that I had invalid facts, let us first review my post. Actually was I stated was the fact that 'Auburn is currently 23-3 and Bama is currently 0-3 and I didn't think at a point during the Bear era, when Bama was 23-3 or better and at the same time - Auburn was 0-3'. So when I said 'I didn't think', I guess I wasn't stating a fact like the fact that currently - Auburn is 23-3 and Bama is 0-3- the only true fact.

My main point was what is currently going on, not the past. As an add-on I wondered if Bear had accomplished the same feat. I could be wrong about Auburn losing 3 in a row at the same time Bama was 23-3 or better.

Anyway, times are different today in the SEC. Going 23-3 in the SEC in this century is quite an accomplishment. And I regret comparing Tubs to Bear. I am old enough to have witnessed both of them - Tom Thumb is much more classy.

you know CK, this is exactly what he asked us to do, we are comparing tuberville to Bear. Hmm, the words...no comparison ring a bell

we also had one National Championship in there in 1973. How many National Championships did Auburn get during their years of reloading, top 10 recruiting classes, and more SEC wins than any other team in the last 3 years. O yea, they got the people's national championship... Too bad they dont give out hardware for that though. If you want to see what that trophy looked like, here you go

i dont agree with the "back-to-back" part, but that is the 2004 trophy, and its probably sitting in a trophy case @ USC right now.

cheer up, im sure you'll have better luck on your next undefeated season, based on your average, it should be about 25 years from now

Excellent math there. I'm sure we're all in agreence that the 2004 season occured roughly 25 years after the 1993 season. :thumpsup:

Excellant math yourself, or maybe its your comprehension. You will notice the word "average" in UA0509's post. I may be wrong and I dont feel like looking it up but with I think 4 perfect seasons in the last 100 yrs, 25 yrs sounds about right to me.

Oh, so he was assuming our football program hasn't progressed in the last 100 years, and that's totally more reasonable.

Dont even know where you are going with that but whatever. He said based on your "average", not based on your progression. Looks like the problem points to your comprehension.

[shk999]

To add to CK8's post, with a 3 loss stat like Tubby's 23-3. CPB went 63-3 from '71 thru '80 winning 8 SEC Titles. That my friend is "Total SEC Domination", things that tom thumb can only dream of. Not to mention 3 NC's during this period, no comparison in the two coaches. Also, to answer another question, AU went 0-8 during this period starting with a Bama loss in 1979.

This is probably the biggest collection of garbaly-goop I've read from you yet. All I heard was, "what I meant to say was Alabear Tomytub somethinginthepast babble babble". So I'll guess I'll just have to blast your post based on it's assumptions. I'm surprised to say that your facts are actually correct, Auburn's 23-3 SEC record that is, so I'll leave them alone. But to answer any of the ridiculous questions you asked; YES, Bear Bryant achieved ATLEAST a 23-3 SEC record during his tenure at Alabama, I believe SHK has shown he went 63-3 at one time. YES, Auburn produced just as poor (if not poorer) an SEC record during that time as Alabama did last year. So to close this case, both of your assumptions from your first post were wrong.

[thethird]

Hopefully ALA will give their fans something CURRENT to cheer about next year in football. Yall can have the distant past and your phony 12 titles, I'll take the current situation any day. The current situation is tough for the Tide faithful to handle therefor they must refer to a time when ALA was once good. I'm 24 years old and I like to talk about the present. Like I said, yall can have the good ol days because it looks as if the current Auburn football program is going to continue to be SEC title contenders for years to come.

In other sporting news: Bama lost 2 of 3 this weekend to Nebraska in baseball finishing their record for this week at 1-4. Between baseball, football and basketball it is tough to find bright spots for the ALA men lately. It's a good thing they had Monday off.

The funny thing is, all it takes is Bama to win one Iron Bowl to regain bragging rights for 365 days. Then we'll own the past, all of our phony 12 titles, and the present (to include your ever-beloved current situation). What will Auburn have to beat their chests about then? You guys better really enjoy the ride because when it's over you'll just be Auburn again, good ole' Auburn.

[BamaFanNKy]

This Iron Bowl stuff is boring. Until Bama can win in football or basketball we have nothing to say about Auburn. We do however have as many BCS games and SEC championships which shows that Auburn has underachieved in their strongest history of the franchise. We also have been better in basketball save this year. Like how I still talked smack.
