Could the unthinkable happen?

[Ogre]

Yeah, but it sure sounds good.  I actually have no empirical data to back it up.  I'd like to see a breakdown of Iron Bowls won by favored teams over the years vs. those that weren't.

I have seen that data, and trust me, it won't help your argument.

And when the favored team lost the record of the favored team would be like 9-1 and the underdog would be 8-2...there hasn't been a 3-8 team beating a 9-1 team in this rivalry or anything similiar.

You know what?  Fuck it.  Now's a damn good time to start.

WAR EAGLE LET'S DO THIS THING!!!!

IN A MONTH

[Thrilla]

I hear you.  However, these games are always close.  I'd still like to see who was favored each year, but I'm a retard when it comes to the googles.  I'm not so much trying to argue as I am trying to see how Las Vegas sees these matches year in and year out.

Alabama leads the series 38-33-1.  In the last five years the games have been decided by 10 points or less.  I'm just as ready for this season to be over as the next fan, but I hold out for this game because it would give me immense satisfaction to ruin the turd's sugar bowl dreams (maybe even a national championship).  It's honestly all I have left for this season, besides my planned strong showing for the GA game.

Auburn finished that season 10-2, not exactly the same situation....But the whole "throw out the record books" argument is bullshit, almost always the favored team wins.

Way to come in here and piss all over everybodies corn flakes.  JackAss.

[CCTAU]

I think this would be a good game to take the family to. Higher percentage of not getting beat. Higher, but not that much higher.

Exactly, but if we lose it might be the first game that has the children comforting their crying fathers....
