Let's take a little trip down memory lane, aight? Let's look at bama's big streak in the 70's (the last big streak you guys have had by the way - but I won't rub that nugget in), and see what our record was during that span.
1973 6-6
1974 10-2
1975 4-6-1
1976 4-7
1977 6-5
1978 6-4-1
1979 8-3
1980 5-6
1981 5-6
1982 9-3
Wow, you guys were able to run up the streak over a period when we were 63-48-2.
I guess these 10 don't count then, right?
Wow, you had to bring up something from
36 years ago to try and prove a point? Seriously? You never will catch me bringing up something from the 70's as an argument. I pefer living in the present, thank you.
Seriously though, I'm not actually trying to pass of what I said as a valid thought, I am simply taking a play from the AU fan playbook. I don't mind taking the 6 streak. You guys won, I know this. AU fans were the ones to quickly cite their horrible season, and lack of offensive coaching in 08, as the only reason we won. The same could be said for half of the 6 years of the most recent streak, so how do you want to play it? Those are all fine and dandy excuses for both sides, but I would say that the reason is that the team that was better won each of those meetings. There is a big difference between a reason and an excuse.
