The bottom line why Alabama backed out is because Auburn was beating alabama's arse on the reg before the break. Cute how you didn't mention that part. Yall getting put from under our thumb is the only reason you were able to spread your wing and have success on the interim. Then after the series resumed and we started beating that arse again it caused yall to go out and hire Bear Bryant. Kind of like how yall hired Saban because yall were tired of us beating that arse.
Basically what I'm saying is all the good things that have happened in your programs history are a direct reaction to Auburn beating yalls arse and you owe all of your success to Auburn

Especially the years they scheduled seven conference games with a ;-) nod nod from the SEC and the other schools had six just for this reason. This is why their 1972 SEC title is bullshite, as an example.

Auburn was 0-2-1 vs Alabama the last 3 years before they quit playing.
Eventually Auburn, actually Alabama Polytechnical Institute, pleaded with the state legislature to force Alabama to play API, lest you probably wouldn't even be in the SEC. Since that time, Auburn became the most often busted team in the SEC, and 3rd in the nation, trying to keep up with Alabama, though UA leads the series 40-28 since it was resumed. Google it. It ain't that hard. Hell, I'll do that for you too...

Arkansas is 35-27-1 vs. Ole Miss, but we also own some classically devastating moments against them in Oxford
4th and 25 (How far is it from Oxford to Atlanta? 25 yards)
7 Overtimes (Matt Jones as a freshman almost single handedly just won't lose)
Perhaps most devastating, we gave them Houston Nutt...rather they ignored our warnings and gleefully 'took' him.
Note: They never beat Arkansas with the illegally constructed teams of the past three years, just underlining how sad their program actually is.

We usually beat them in Tiger Stadium but struggle in Oxford. The 2009 and 2013 games really sting, in particular.

Series resumed in 1948, Auburn was a founding member of the SEC in 1932.
Nice try with the #FakeNews though

Ain't no fake news to any of that.
You said Alabama was lucky to have played the Mississippi teams.
I said Auburn was lucky to have not played Alabama for the 40 years that Alabama was #2 in the nation in winning pct, and Auburn was #74. Mississippi State, for the record, was #61.
Auburn won 1 of the last 4 games vs Alabama before the series was suspended in 1908 (and Auburn fans used to say Bammers liked living in the past). 4 seasons is obviously the span of a college players career, so a good term with which to measure. Since the series was resumed, after API pleaded to the state legislature, Alabama is 40-28 despite the fact that Auburn has been busted for cheating more than any other SEC team.
Those are the facts from which you are trying to spin away.

So what you're saying is if you remove a whole quarter century of games, history, and the on-field results from the Rebels' greatest coach, series records look vastly different?
You don't say?
I bet half the posters on this site have not been alive for 26 years.

Im confused, do you want to talk about the past or not? Because you keep bringing up ancient history of Auburn cheating (like that's relevant to this thread at all, you just have not real talking points) when we haven't been busted in almost 25 years. Bama has been busted what, 3 or 4 times since then? Bama is the modern day cheating GOAT. There was serious talk barely a decade ago about giving Alabama the death penalty and you want to throw stones about cheating?
you got cajones, bro

I'd just like to point out that their little two game win streak in 14-15 was their first back to back wins in the history of the series. Before that, the best they had done was a win and a tie back to back in 1909-10.

Historically, the bottom tier SEC teams are these (with all-time SEC W%):
Tulane- 38.7%
Miss St.- 35.9%
Kentucky- 30.9%
Vanderbilt- 25.9%
Sewannee- 0.00%
These are the only 5 programs to ever play in the SEC and produce a conference winning percentage of less than 40%.
From 1933-2002 (which is the year Bama finally quit playing Vandy annually), here are how many regular season conference games each of the Big 6 played against this lower tier group:
Bama- 181
LSU- 179
Tennessee- 171
Florida- 147
Georgia- 135
Auburn- 131
Bama certainly got the most "easy" SEC games during the regular season in those days, although LSU was close.

And that's why Auburn and Georgia have by far the highest all-time SOS and most games against top 25 programs in the history of the entire NCAA.
We ain't skurred of a good game and some competition like Bama and LSU are. DSOR = GOAT

Is that not what "cherry picking" means? It also says since integration Ole Miss is about as good as MSU.

Out of curiosity, I looked at how often the Big 6 played the Big 6.
Auburn - 384
Alabama - 362
Georgia - 354
Florida - 321
Tennessee - 271
LSU - 254
Auburn and Georgia can kind of be considered skewed since they played each other 119 times, while the second most meeting between schools is UA/UT at 97 times.
Alabama and Auburn are the only schools to play 3 of the Big 6 at least 80 times.

So it's skewed because neither of us are pussies and have played each other nearly every year our football teams have existed, instead of Vanderbilt? Interesting take.

But I agree with you. No matter how you interpret the data, Auburn comes away as the least scared and most down for a good competitive game of any team in the SEC

44-61-5, but before you start laughing, the series is tied 15-15 the last 30, and State leads 13-12 the last 25 which also coincides with SEC expansion. I know this is "cherry picking" but if you take out the Johnny Vaught years which we were 2-19-4 the series is 42-42-1.
These types of arguments are always so "meh." If you take out y'all's first 23 contests, where State went 17-5-1, y'all are only 61-27-5 all-time against Ole Miss. Any series record is going to look worse/better if you remove the most successful run by the other team. When you remove both streaks for both schools, Ole Miss Leads the all-time series 42-25-1
