Was a team from Louisiana.

In 2007, UL-Monroe came into Tuscaloosa and defeated Alabama 21-14 on Senior Day. Can LSU mimic the legendary Warhawks squad tomorrow?

Should’ve put the world on notice that Major Applewhaite just didn’t have it

But Mack Brown decided to throw him a life raft instead

That's the same thing we said when we lost to UAB under Saban in his first year!!!

It’s an incredible dynasty Saban built. Thank God he left po’dunk LSU and came to a football powerhouse.

Is that ULM coach the only coach with a winning record against Saban while at Alabama? I can't think of anyone what who would.

Same here. Saban has a funny story about that loss.
NOT WITH SABAN

The phrase "pigs fly over Alabama" is a reference to an unlikely scenario, popularized by a 1993 sports headline for the LSU-Alabama football game where the LSU Tigers were a 25-point underdog to the heavily favored Alabama Crimson Tide. The headline "Tide could lose, pigs might fly" from The Mobile Register became famous when LSU won the game 17-13, making it one of the biggest upsets in college football history.

Bobby Bowden took down Alabama in 2007 although both teams vacated all their wins from that year.

He retired in 2009 so no rematch.

Kyle Whittengham beat him in the Sugar Bowl in 2009.

Stoops in 2013,

Harbaugh 2023.

That will be interesting trivia someday, honestly.

But I wonder if those schools will cling to it the way the Vols cling to Neyland's record against Bryant.

Charlie Weatherbie at ULM was The only one with a winning record at BDS vs Saban.

I think Wittingham might’ve been the only other coach period with a winning record against Bama.

I've lurked on tRant - w/ threads which referenced this 'pigs fly' but never understood the reference.

LMAO - makes perfect sense.

Thanks for explanation.

Speaking of streaks, OU broke the TN steak not named Georgia

“Tennessee has a 25 game home winning streak vs teams not named Georgia”

Look, I survived the era after Stallings and wondered if we would ever see another championship run of Alabama football. I thought we were in the same boat with Nebraska. So I really do appreciate what Saban built.

Meyer beat him at OSU in the Sugar Bowl in 2014. Don’t know if he has a winning record overall vs Saban
