I hear so much about how tough the SEC is, but I haven't seen any of those teams go in Alabama and win, either,


well only 3 SEC teams have gone to tuscaloosa this year so I guess you're right Steve. You have done something that Ole miss, Arkansas, and Tennessee haven't. Bravo.

Bama has no homefield advantage



106-9 at home since Saban took over. Say what you will about the place not being that loud, but that's a hell of a record.

Three of the losses came in 2007. Since 2008, six teams have won at Bama and four of them went on to play in the national title game.

would you not agree that that's proooooobably more so due to the fact bama has been on the best run/dynasty in the history of the sport as opposed to the fans just being really into it?

Yeah, I’m guessing that record would still be like 104-11 if those games were played in a random parking lot in Toledo rather than Bryant-Denny.

Only on this board can Bama fans be both crazy and obsessed and also not really into it.

The fact is Bama wins at home, whatever reason surrounding it would say that there is a significant home field advantage. Only during the probation years in the early 2000's was this close to not being true.

What's Bama's away record in that time. I would assume it's pretty similar.

They've just been really fing good.

He's 196-28 at Bama, so 19 losses away from Home. Some away and some in bowl games/CFP/SECCG games so they are neutral. I would think he probably has 13 or so losses on the road and 6 neutral?

Or that Bama has just been very good for a long time which we already know.

Your toughest home game last year was a shitty A&M team. Toughest one in 2021 was OM I guess? Covid 2020. And you lost to LSU in 2019.

Your home schedule is a joke and your team has been good, thus you win home games. Its pretty simple. Doesnt mean you have some ridiculous advantage other than playing shitty teams.

The SEC is known for shitty teams now, right? Is that the argument?

Well, I guess since it's that easy, why hasn't any other team been able to do it? There are a lot of schedules out there softer than what Alabama has played at home.

I know you're a bama fan and have the IQ of a tree stump but thats not what I said.

Vast majority of your "tough" OOC games are neutral site games. Of the home games you have had over the last few years you have played very few actually good teams.

You've played more opponents on the road that were much better. Auburn was pretty good in 2019, LSU in 2019, A&M was better in 2021 than 2022, Tenn in 2022, @LSU 2022, @ OM and Texas last year you escaped by your teeth. 2017 FSU was trash and your toughest away game was Auburn who was good.

So, now your argument is shifting to SEC teams aren't bad, just when they play at Bama they're bad?

Again your assertion was Bama has a "joke" of a schedule; but as compared to what? Everyone in the SEC has a similar setup with a schedule, seems like other teams should be able to accomplish the same thing over several years.
