Since Bama's regular season is over, but many other teams still have games to play, let's take a look back at an old post...
If I had a vote for Heisman, he'd get it.
On Sunday, July 9, 2006 I posted a preview of our game against Arkansas. By no means do I pretend to be a pundit with flawless predictions, but I hit the nail on the head with these statements:
"I think we drop this game and it will be an insanely frustrating loss."
I never would've imagined the plethora of missed FGs and PATs, but I was on the money with the fact that we blew a winnable game and that it was "insanely frustrating." I don't think that really even begins to describe it in retrospect.
I also mentioned that the outcome of Arkansas game is a pretty good indicator of how Bama's season will go. Here's the updated chart on how Bama's season turns out depending on whether we register a "W" or an "L" against the Hogs.
| Win | Record | -- | Loss | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1992 | 13-0 | -- | 1995 | 8-3 |
| 1993 | 9-3-1 | -- | 1997 | 4-7 |
| 1994 | 12-1 | -- | 1998 | 7-5 |
| 1996 | 10-3 | -- | 2000 | 3-8 |
| 1999 | 10-3 | -- | 2003 | 4-9 |
| 2001 | 7-5 | -- | 2004 | 6-6 |
| 2002 | 10-3 | -- | 2006 | 6-6 |
| 2005 | 10-2 | -- | -- | -- |
The above chart doesn't take into account the fact that we'll likely go to a fourth tier bowl and get smacked around by a team that's not a traditional power.
