If we win this Saturday, it will trruly feel like the first time we beat Bama in TS. The '00, '04, and '06 games were against weak Bama teams. '00 we still tried to give away. '04 was a horrible referee call that turned game around for us. 2006 may have been the worst Bama squad I have ever seen.

The last GOOD Bama teams to come to TS:

'08 - So close, no matter how far...

'02 - Saban's 3rd worst arse beating only behind '04 UGA and '01 UF.

'96 - Electric night...until Tyler went down and Sparacino came in. And then entered Shaun...

Please, no ore games like any of the above.

Let's review the last decade:

Year, Bama's ranking, record prior to LSU game and result of LSU game

2009: #3 Bama (8-0) beat #9 LSU 24-15. Bama won national title and finished undefeated.
2008: #1 Bama (9-0) beat #15 LSU 27-21 (OT). Bama won all SEC regular season games but lost SECCG and bowl game to Utah.
2007: #17 Bama (6-2) lost to #3 LSU 34-41. Bama went on to lose their next 3 games to Miss State, ULM and Auburn.
2006: Unranked Bama (6-4) lost to #12 LSU 14-28. Bama lost the rest of their games to finish 6-7.
2005: #4 Bama (9-0) lost to #5 LSU 13-16. Bama finished season 10-2.
2004: Unranked Bama (6-3) lost to #17 LSU 10-26. Bama finished season 6-6.
2003: Unranked Bama (4-6) lost to #3 LSU 3-27. Bama finished season 4-9.
2002: #10 Bama (8-2) beat #14 LSU 31-0. Bama finished season 10-3.
2001: Unranked Bama (3-4) lost to unranked LSU 21-35. Bama won rest of games to finish season 7-5.
2000: Unranked Bama (3-5) lost to unranked LSU 28-30. Bama finished season 3-8.

Long story short, LSU has beaten Bama only once in the last 10 years when Bama was the higher ranked team. That was 2005. 5 of the 7 times we beat them they were unranked (everyone was beating Bama). In the 4 games where Bama was higher ranked, they won all but 1 (2005). This is another one of those games.

Thanks to Google and Tiger Roar Tiger Football History - here is the answer:

LSU has """""""""NEVER""""""""" beaten an Alabama team """"IN"""" Baton Rouge when Alabama was ranked """"ON THE SAME DAY"""" that we played them in Baton Rouge.

The last time we beat an Alabama team in Tiger Stadium that was ranked """IN THE SAME SEASON""" we beat them was............. 1946.
And even then, Alabama on Oct 28, 1946 was ranked #15.
They lost to LSU in Tiger Stadium on Nov. 9 1946,
12 days later - 31-21, but were unranked on that day.
They were ranked as high as 6th on Oct. 7 of 1946, before we played them, but they weren't ranked the week we played them on Nov. 9.

Also, we tied 19th ranked Alabama in Baton Rouge in 1944, 27-27.
