That's a pretty important statistical outlier. I don't care how close the games are between the two teams. In the biggest game, we were blown out. Miles record of 3-4 also includes wins when Alabama was in the process of rebuilding. Is Miles 2-3 or 1-4 in the last 5? If it's 1-4, being 3-4 overall isn't looking as good.

The 1/9 game was obviously the biggest game between the two. It was also a rematch after the first biggest game ever between the two. And it is a statistical outlier.

The only win vs Bama that could be considered during rebuilding would have been '07.

Miles is 2-3 vs Saban in the last five games (wins in '10 & '11, losses in '09, 1/9, an '12).

Saban is obviously getting it done better than Miles at present but the gap isn't as great as sometimes thought. It remains to be seen if we're going to assume a prolonged status of 2nd place. IMO it's TBD (but we could know as early as two more seasons).

I don't know about y'all, but from 1969 to 1979 I can remember leaving tiger stadium at least once or twice a year with my dad threatening to beat Cholly's brains in.
It was really bad in 1974 when we thought we were going all the way only to fail again.
My dad's gone now but I can still remember him jumping up and down in the living room one afternoon hollering yes finally he's gone. We thought he had lost his mind. He finally calmed down enough to tell us Cholly had been forced to retire.
So what we are seeing right now looks like an echo from the 70's.
And this is definitely the best thread I've seen in years.
