[mcgufcm 4,107]

if you're a vol, should we start the clock on "last time we had a winning season" or maybe "last time we beat vandy"? if you're a tider, well you just got nothing as long as those numbers on our clock keep getting bigger.

This is hilarious. I know it drives the bammers nuts...

In the first place, it hasn't been 50 years.

The '57 team won the MNC. Last time I checked, this was still 2006.

Has there EVER been a 20-year period in the entire HISTORY of API football that has been better overall than the 20 years prior to today?

I believe that the honest answer would be no -

The only POSSIBLE exception might be the 20 years ending with the 2004 season (which is not much different). Still, I think even the most jaded booger would agree that the prior 20 years were just about as good as its EVER been for aub football.

In addition, at the same time, is there ANY aub fan, Alabama fan (or ANYONE else) who seriously questions whether there has EVER been a 20-year period in the entire HISTORY of Alabama football that has been worse overall than the 20 years prior to today?

Maybe someone could argue that the 20 years preceding the hiring of Coach Bryant were worse - I suppose that argument could be made, based only on the on-the-field results. Still, taken as a whole, I still say these past 20 years were the very worst overall!

So can we all agree that when we talk about the past 20 years, we are talking about the VERY BEST period for Auburn football EVER?

Moreover, we are talking about the VERY WORST period for Alabama football EVER.

Can we all agree that this is basically correct?

True enough, our bovineaphile friend is absolutely correct that aub has won more of our head-to-head games in the past 20 years. Therefore, IF you measure "success" solely, or primarily, on how you fare against "Big Brother", then it is True - API has been more "Successful" over the past 20 seasons than Alabama.

In addition, to be fair - ALL the things he says are "technically" correct - over the past 20 years, during this "Golden Era" of auburn football, the barners have accomplished what he says - "12-8 against UA, more undefeated seasons, more SEC champs, higher winning %".

Sounds impressive, doesn't it?

Nevertheless, if you look just a bit closer, the "Big Picture" is not nearly as rosy as the boogs suggest.

Head to Head Record? - Nope, I will not try to candy coat this!

The barn has been more successful. It is a fact I detest, but it is still a fact, REGARDLESS of how any of us feel about it!

More "undefeated seasons"? - Yep, Poor old Alabama - we have only had ONE undefeated season in 20 years! While API has done it over and over again - a grand total of. . . .,

uh. . .

Twice!!!

Ooooohhhhh!!!!!!

Uh, but when we look a bit closer, API has only had ONE undefeated season in the past 20 years when NOT on probation.....

So, I'd say the "Undefeated Seasons" issue is really not any great advantage to aub at all!

More SEC Champs? - Yep, once again "technically" true!!

In the past 20 "Golden Era" seasons, the barn has won or shared the SEC title FOUR times, while Poor, downtrodden Alabama has only won or shared the SEC title THREE times.

Of course, when you look just a bit closer, you see that THREE of the boogs' four SEC titles came 19, 18 and 17 years ago. . . .

Now, I am not DENYING that they happened! Far from it!

However, I think it is telling that all but ONE came at the farthest edge of the 20-year envelope . . .

& I think we all know what the stats look like if I include just a few more years in the picture. Heck, the comparison becomes laughably one-sided in Alabama's favor if we include even half of UA's run of the 1960's and 70's. . . . .

But of course, that would just be an example of "living in the past", right?

No, the barner-guy's point is "Technically" correct - though it is practically meaningless.

Not much to brag about when you look at it realistically, huh?

Here's some other interesting facts - the SEC has had East & West Divisions since 1992. Despite Alabama having gone through hell for most of the years since then, we still have won the west FIVE times. Aub's Golden Era has netted them Three SEC-West Titles. . . .

Alabama has played in the SECC Five times and won twice; aub has played in the game three times and won it once - in 2004.

So in terms of conference championships and divisional championships - aub's "Golden Era of football" really doesn't exceed, or even match, Alabama's accomplishments - even at the very dregs of our Worst EVER 20 year period of football.

Imagine that . . . ?

Higher winning % ? - Yep, once again he is "Technically" correct, but in substance its a completely hollow claim. In the past 20 seasons, the barn (by my count) is 166-68-5 overall, which I figure as a winning % of 0.6946.

Alabama, over the same 20 seasons is "officially" 159-86-0, for an "official" winning % of 0.6490. (again, if I counted correctly. I am using only "Officially" recognized wins)

So that means over the past 20 years, this acknowledged "Golden Era" of aub football, and the very worst era of Alabama football - aub has won a GRAND TOTAL of only Seven more games than Alabama and has amassed a winning percentage that is less than 0.05 better than the Alabama teams of the Very Worst 20 year period in our history. . . . .

Wow. . .

But it gets even better, boogs!

During the past 20 seasons, both The University and API have played a SHAMEFUL number of Div-1A creampuffs - neither of us has ANTHING To be proud of in that catagory! -

but get this!

in the past 20 seasons Alabama has played FOUR opponents who were in a lower division at the time. . . .

Aub's stunning 0.05% winning percentage advantage includes victories over A FULL DOZEN (yes, you heard right, neighbor!) TWELVE Div-1AA opponents in the past 20 years!

On top of the DOZEN lower division opponents Lowder-tech played, the barn also played at least two other programs that, while they were still "technically" Div-1A teams at the time, were nonetheless so pitiful that they abandoned football alltogether within a few years thereafter. (Those would be Pacific and Cal-St.-Fullerton).

But "Dead-program-walking" wins aside, if we factor out Alabama's and aub's wins against lower division opponents, the results are a bit different. . . .

Alabama has won more games, but, thanks in part to not being wussies and playing for ties, we've also lost more games.

By my count, the results vs. Div-1A opponents for the past 20 years are:

Alabama 155-86-0 and 0.6432% winning percentage,

& A.P.I. 154-68-5 and 0.6490 -

Mind you, these are the "Official" NCAA results, so unless I miscounted, we still OFFICIALLY won one more Div-1A game than aub during the Very WORST 20 year period in our history!

and the barn's better "winning percentage" is only better by LESS THAN 0.006%

Again, all I can say is - Wow. . . .

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering - the numbers are about the same for SEC games -

U of A 94-62-0 for a winning % of 0.6026 -

barn - 98-53-4 for a winning % of 0.6323 -

A whopping margin of 4 wins and 0.03 % ?

OOOOhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

But now that we've established that the barn has chronic appetite for fattening up their W/L record with lower division patsies, lets see what other "Jewels" the records reveal:

How about 10 or more wins in a season?

Alabama has accomplished this (Officially) 8 times in the past 20 years.

The barn?

6 times (if we count 1993).

How about 11 or more wins in a season?

Alabama has done it 3 times,

the barn twice (again, if we count 1993)

And 12 or more wins in a season?

API did it in 2004, of course. I think they held a parade, didn't they?

The University did it in 1992 and 1994.

And that, of course, leads us to the "800 lb. gorrilla" that the barn doesn't like to talk about -

1992. . . .

But laying aside our most recent Concensus National Title for just a moment - lets see how have the two programs fared in bowl games in general:

Well, the "Golden Era of barner football" has seen the boogers appear in 14 bowl games, winning 8.

Yet during the very most dismal and bleak 20 year period in the history of Alabama football, we have gone to 15 bowls and won 9.

wore eagle, huh?

How have the two programs fared in the final AP Polls each year?

Well, we all know how many times Alabama has managed to end the year ranked #1 in the polls and how many times aub has managed to do the same.

(uh, that is - in the "Real" polls, not the rigged ones invented and manipulated by local high school brats. . . . . )

But how about AP Top-20 Finishes?

Alabama has 11

the barn has 12 - advantage barners!

How about AP Top-10 finishes?

Alabama has 7

the barn has 7 (Hmmm... some "Golden Era", huh?)

& How about AP Top-5 finishes in the past 20 seasons?

the barn has 2

Alabama, during the WORST 20 year period in our football history - has 3.

Imagine that ! ? ! ?

So what does it all mean?

I think it means that when aub's football is at its Very, Very best, and The University's football is at its Very Worst, the booger-eaters can win more games against us than we can win against them.

But they still can't win many (or any) more games against Div-1A opposition,

They don't go to bowls more often, or win bowls more often,

They can't win many (or any) more Conference or Divisional Titles,

They can't win more (or any) legitimate National Titles,

and they can't finish any better in the eyes of the nation (i.e. the legitimate polls). . . .

Can you say, "Red-Headed Step-Children"?

All right guys, I'm outta here! See you in the funny papers!!!

[WarTiger 3,910]

And 12 or more wins in a season?

API did it in 2004, of course. I think they held a parade, didn't they?

The University did it in 1992 and 1994.

WRONG....UAT finished 11-1 in 1994
