Ranking all 114 Nick Saban wins at Bama by how much anguish they unleashed into the world

The list is ranked by total anguish, not numbers of people who were anguished.
1. 1-9-12: NC Alabama over LSU; though the number of people who were anguished is pretty much limited to one fan base, the depth, suicidal rage, and long lasting psychological damage that has poisoned the atmosphere is un-matched by any other Saban win.
2. 12-5-2009: Saban’s Alabama beat Tim Tebow and Florida in the SEC championship, the tears game. Much wailing among the huge contingent of Tebow fans across the nation that still has an echo.
3. 1-7-2010: Saban’s Alabama beat Texas for NC. The mass of Texas and anti-Alabama, anti-Saban fans still talk about “if Colt McCoy…” as if Alabama didn’t have anything to do with Colt McCoy quitting the game. The mass delusion that persists in Texas will seemingly never end.
4. 1-7-2013: Saban’s Alabama perpetrates the total slaughter of Notre Dame, which unleashed an outpouring of emotion in the announcer booth and across the entire Yankee world, though mixed with serious resentment. It was epic and wonderful.
5. 11-3-2012: Though confined to a single fan base, the total angst caused by the screen pass to Yeldon in the waning moments of the LSU-Alabama game in Tiger Stadium was generational. It also was the most complete silencing event ever… at one moment 90,000 people were screaming. 14 secs later only 14,000 people were screaming and you could hear a pin drop on the other side of the stadium. There were reportedly mass suicides as the truth about “the decline” was made stunningly clear even to the die-hard. An argument can be made this event was even more traumatic than 1-9-12.
6. 11-14-12: This is just one representative of many... it is Alabama's 49-0 mugging of Auburn. Say after me, “Frick Auburn.”
7-114. Fill in blank with anguish increasing exponentially with time and increasing success rate. Add bonus points if opponent's fans actually expect to win.

Only 6? I bet there are at least 114 penalties or bad calls that fricked teams over while playing Bama that you can rank.

Are you seriously going to manually summarize all 114 victories?
Holy cow you guys need more hobbies that Alabama football.

You have a point. But scientific analysis leads one to believe the total anguish meter measures emotion that is magnified if the fan-base of the Alabama opponent expected or fervently wished their team would win.
"The decline" is actually cause be a decrease in expectations by Alabama opponents of winning. Almost no team plays Alabama today and expects to win, hence reduction in anguish when they lose.

It's hard to make an impact after all that success. I mean, nobody was even phased by this. They knew and accepted it long before it happened.

I can't believe this post only has 6 downvotes. Seriously the mods need to ban anybody who doesn't downvote the OP. This is one of the worst OPs I have ever seen on any website.

It wont make the list but the 2010 game when Arkansas and Bama were both top 10 ranked and Alabama came to Fayetteville. Arkansas had the ball and was driving and Mallett threw the INT at the end of the game.

More anguish for the Urbs "heart attack" angle. I don't give a shite if a 22 year old kid cries after a loss like that. Tears are better than upper decking every toilet that you come in contact with after a loss.

Lmao.
What a poorly thought out stupid post. You bama fans really are dilusional.
Having watched the 9-6 LSU win in Tuscalooser in 2011 and how the bama fans reacted to that loss, i can assure you that defeat did more damage to the bama fan base than any win Bama ever did to any other fan base.

I agree with this. It was certainly funny when they cut to the stands and the sideline to show that stupid look of "wtf just happened" on Saban and the fans faces.
