1906 is the first season in which the Forward Pass was legalized in American Football.

The answer to the question is: edited and corrected to Nine home Wins, not 8.

Since 1906, LSU has won 9 football home games vs Alabama.

What does this mean?

What is means is this: Do not place too much emphasis on what happened last Saturday night. Do not make long-term judgments about coaches, players, etc. Be patient and look at other games in other venues - that is to say, base your conclusions on a larger sample size.

If you judge LSU football on the metric of "Nine home wins since 1906", then LSU is going to look bad every time.

Take a larger sample size.

I don’t know what kind of curse or juju they put on this place, but they have owned our arse at home.

Two of those eight wins were when they had a losing record (2000) and a third string QB playing (2004).

I understand all of the history we have with Bama, and there have been some incredible games, but I’m glad that we don’t have to play them every year anymore.

Tired of getting amped up for this game only to be letdown.

This is the most depressing thing I’ve ever read.

Especially on a Monday

LSU is truly Alabama‘s bitch boy

8 “home” games is more specific than overall

LSU has won 27 games against Alabama which is 4th most behind

Tennessee 41/108 games
Auburn 37/90 games
UGA 28/77 games
LSU 27/91 games

ETA: it’s also incorrect, LSU has won 9 home games since 1906 - why are we picking 1906 anyways?

Only 5 wins since 1964 vs Bama in Tiger Stadium, in 30 games. Let that sink in. And I've watched every one of those games, several of the losses of which, like this year, LSU was favored. It's uncanny, even a mystery.

I was counting since the 93 flying pigs game at Bama
..94 L
96 L Host GameDay first time, S. Alex
98-L didn't intercept the pass
2000- Saban Win
2002-L 31-0 Francione off UK hail mary week before
2004- Win
2006-Win
2008-L OT Saban
2010-Win
Darkness starts again
2012-L
2014-L
2016-L
2018-L
2020-L
2022-Win
2024-L
2026-L


Going back to 1991-L
We were playing Ala in BR odd number years.
Looks like due to the SEC expansion, in 1992, Alabama played in BR 2 years in a row. Shockingly, they won that, too.
That's how we started playing Alabama on even numbers in BR
1983-L
1985-Tie
1987-L
1989-L

LSU was 9-3 vs Bama between 2000-2011.

2-14 since 1/9/12

Some real Les Miles/Nick Saban voodoo going on

27-59-5 all time against Alabama. I'm glad they're no longer permanently on our schedule.

Just looked it up and if my math is correct, Bama's winning percentage at Tiger Stadium since 1900 (79%) is higher than their HOME SEC winning percentage (77%)

Absolutely disgusting statistic

Bama has statues of their coaches who have won "national titles": Wade, Thomas, Bryant, Stallings, and Saban. So, let's compare, shall we (For the in Alabama numbers, I have compiled games in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile. I have also left out games before 1906 as the OP did and left out the two games in New Orleans (0-1-1))

Vs Wade (1923-1930): 0-1-0 in BR, 0-2-1 in Alabama
Vs Thomas (1931-1946): 1-1-1 in BR, 0-0 in Alabama
Vs Bryant (1958-1980): 1-8-0 in BR, 3-8-0 in Alabama
Vs Stallings (1990-1996): 0-4-0 in BR, 1-2-0 in Alabama
Vs Saban (2007-2022): 2-6-0 in in BR, 3-6-0 in Alabama*
Totals: 4-20-1 (.180 winning percentage) in BR, 7-18-1 (.288) in Alabama

Versus all other Alabama coaches: 6-11-1 in BR (.361), 8-8-1 in Alabama (.500)

Bottom Line: This is a really weird rivalry. Obviously, Bama is overall better, but in all categories, LSU plays against them better in Alabama than in Baton Rouge. Even among their legendary coaches, only Wade has more wins in Alabama than in BR.

*If you remove the overtimes in 2008, 2011, 2014, & 2022, LSU's record against Saban moves to 1-4-3 in BR and 2-6-1 in Alabama.

Since the 1906 college football season inclusive, LSU football home games record against visiting Alabama is:

9 Wins

30 Losses

3 Ties

The 1906 American football season was the very first season in which The Forward Pass was legalized in the rules for the game of Football.

The year 1906 was 120 years ago.

In the last 120 years, in a home football game against Alabama, LSU has emerged victorious exactly Nine times. 9 times in 120 years.

Don't make over-arching long term judgments on anybody involved in LSU football or any aspect of LSU football based on any Alabama at LSU football game. If you do, you are going to reach a negative conclusion, for sure, because 9 home wins in 120 years is pretty bad, by any metric.

Thanks for the stats. There is no need to remove the New Orleans home games from your calculations, because those were indeed LSU football regular season home games. LSU did not do better than a Tie in those games.

What exactly is the main point that we should take out of your statistical analysis? I'm sure I missed it.
