Here’s a few Saban ones

- Since Saban took over Alabama in 2007, there have been 44 different head coaches in the SEC since.

- Alabama has been ranked #1 in the polls at some point during the season since 2008.

- Alabama has won minimum 10 games every year since 2008.

- Alabama has 9 consecutive 11 win seasons.

- Since the 2008 NFL draft, when no Alabama players were drafted, 96 players have been drafted since. The most was 12 in 2018.

Tulane has won an SEC championship more recently than Mississippi State.


Tulane never played in the SEC West. At least MSU went to Atlanta

Tiger Woods made 142 straight PGA tour cuts in a row. Hard to fathom.

Running/option team so less drop backs, which have more potential for sacks/holding calls. Still, no holding calls an entire season is unfathomable.

1. From 1997 through 2008, Woods was a combined 126 under par in majors. There are 138 other players who played at least 40 rounds in major championships in that span. Among that group, Woods was a staggering 189 shots better than anyone else. Second on the list: Joe Ogilvie, at 63 over.

Two early early baseball facts:

1) The 1906 White Sox, known as the "Hitless Wonders" after finishing with the worst team batting average (.230) in the American League, beat the Cubs in six games for one of the greatest upsets in Series history.

2) This was the first World Series played by two teams from the same metropolitan area.

My favorite stat on Olympic wrestler Alexander Karelin, 887 wins, 2 losses.

After going 13 years undefeated in international competition and six years without giving up a point, he lost 0–1 to Rulon Gardner of the United States in the final of the Sydney Olympics.[15][16][17] Karelin retired from competitions in 2000.[18

LSU homered on its first pitch AND last pitch of the 1996 CWS.


Also had HRs from their last AB in the 1996 CWS Final (Warren Morris) and their first AB in the 1997 CWS Final. (Danny Higgins)

50 years after his last game at LSU, Pete Maravich still holds the NCAA D1 scoring record. This despite only playing 3 varsity seasons, no shot clocks and no 3 point lines.

I remember back when Rulon got caught in the cold weather and ended up with frostbite.

Reggie Miller in high school scored 40 points in a game. His sister, Cheryl, earlier that night, scored 105 points. It broke 8 National and state basketball records in California.

Interesting considering the dead ball
era. Or would that help you? Hit the ball over 2nd and wouldn’t get to center quickly?

Doesn't impress me. The Bengals haven't even won a playoff game since 1991. Plus only 22% of the teams are from Canada so it's not completely crazy.
