We had beaten Florida on the road in Swamp in 2002. In 2003 they beat us with admittedly inferior talent, coaches, and scheme. We were favored at home in 2003. Hardly an, “automatic,” loss.

2011 was a perfect 12-0 season. We won the SEC, handily, convincingly. You baws know the rest.

It's 2019. The Tigers are 12-0 and headed to Atlanta.

Merry Christmas.

So is there an implication here? It reads like a poorly articulated, mistake-riddled inference that nobody really got. You just rambled enough to show off your memory is a little off and then just wrapped it up without telling us anything of substance.

I’m 40 years old but if ever there was an appropriate time for me to respond with, “Okay Boomer,” the time is now.

No. No Hallman didn’t. You misremembered or mistyped that.

Admittedly mistyped. I was trying to avoid mentioning him by name and did anyway. Sorry for the inconvenience.

After the UAB loss that team gelled together and kicked arse from there.

Did we "kick arse" when we got blown the frick out by Florida two weeks later (41-9)? Or when we lost to a bad Arky team to close out the regular season? I mean, if we had won that game we still wouldn't have gone to Atlanta because Auburn won the head-to-head, but we would have shared the SEC-W.

So, I stand by my "rocky, but successful".

So, that's relevant to the 2000 in what way?

Sure beginning in 2002 to present, we're 11-7 against the Gators, but going back to 2 seasons prior to Spurrier taking over at Florida (so 1988) through 2001 (Saban's first SEC Championship season and we STILL got blown the frick out by Florida), we were 1-13 against them.

Bama hasn't owned us over the past 15 years like Florida did back then. So, I stand by my "automatic" loss statement, which wouldn't be reversed until 2002 forward.

I was thinking Archer and typed the other guy - who I was specifically trying to not name. Other than that, what "mistakes" are in there to make it "riddled"?
