The first Blackout game I remember was against Florida and it didn't go our way.

You’re thinking of Alabama 2009. We’ve never worn black against Florida.

We lost the first two games we wore black and the third one was a LA Tech game where we won in OT and likely should’ve lost, so they got a bad rap as being cursed.

But yeah, we quietly have a very good record in black jerseys. And we haven’t just beaten nobodies in them.

Yep. Undefeated in Black helmets too which is something. The only loss in black pants was that LSU game in 2010.

You're right - I fact checked and found I had mis-remembered. I was remembering the 2009 Tebow Florida game as a Blackout game. It was absolutely etched in my mind that we were in black. So much for total recall.

The replay in my mind of the Banks coast-to-coast interception return had him in a black jersey.
