This is our current record against Alabama. Anybody wanna take a stab at how long it will take until we even up the series?

| Well, I would guess another 15+ seasons unless we string a bunch of wins together. If Saban gets some kind of streak going could be a lot longer. | |

| 11 would be nice, but it might take 20 years. Saban will have the edge in talent from 2009 to who knows when. | |

Im talking about the Citrus Bowl in 05 against Iowa or the Boot game from 02 against Arkansas.... there are others like this

| We're seven down now. If we were to win two out of three years, it would still take about 20 years to catch up. I know we've been on a good run against since the mid 90s, but I don't see us winning 2/3 of our games against Alabama indefinitely. I don't really expect to see us catch and pass them in my lifetime. Unfortunately. |

| Fulmer's gonna have to prove he can beat Saban, Fulmer won the battle in their first encounter but has lost 3 or 4 in a row to Nick Satan, and one can argue that UT had the edge in talent in each game, I wont argue about it cause its time for something to eat.  | |

It is worth noting that Saban has never won a game in Neyland Stadium. 
True, he's only coached there once, but we can use it as motivation. | |
