Easy big fella. Let's not forget that Croom coached against Mike Shula and first-year Saban trying to clean up Mike Shula's mess. Alabama wasn't very good. Hell, Louisiana Monroe beat Alabama during that stretch.

And Bama lost 12 games in the 8 years Mullen was at State. Most of those to top 5 teams.

Bear Bryant died in 1983. Last game was the 1982 Liberty Bowl. The next year Alabama beat us 35-18 in Tuscaloosa.

But hey, you were really close...

A lot of people forget Bryant retired from coaching before he died. He remained Bama's AD and hired Perkins, but he really wanted Gene Stallings.

Perkins also took over the AD role when Bryant died. Its really hard to imagine someone being both Head FB coach and AD these days.

Name any other team you felt confident that Croom could beat while at State.... Sure wasn't Maine. At least against Alabama, I knew Croom would have our guys ready to run through a brick wall for.

Fun fact: State also lost three times to Alabama under Croom and was outscored 79-20 in those games.

That was the worst five game stretch for Alabama in their modern football history (since 1990 expansion).

It was 16 years between the 80 and 96 wins. They've beaten us 16 times between the 07 game and this year. We're ranked #16. What does that mean? That we are bad at beating Bama in football.

16 years since the Saints won the Super Bowl and got crossed off the list.

Go ahead and come to terms with it. It will make Saturday afternoon less painful.
