I'm going to argue that this is the clear cut #2 for Alabama in the past eight years.
Obviously winning 21-0 in a revenge game for the national title would y'alls #1.
But that 2008 Auburn team while struggling on offense was not that bad of a team. We lost most of our games by a few points thanks to a salty defense. We were coming off a 6 game winning streak in the IB. Tuberville was coaching for his job and still had the audacity to throw up seven fingers prior to kickoff.
And we got laughed out of the stadium.
2011, 2012 - those don't really count. We weren't a football team those years no matter how much our offense skill players kept us in games in 11.
But 2008? That year I felt like we got our asses kicked.

As bad as that ended up we actually made a FG before the half which would have made it 10-3 going into the locker room. Refs said saban called a timeout first, we missed the ensuing try, and the 2nd half was disgraceful.
When I think of real beatings I think of ones that started from the opening kick. 2012 would be a prime example but that was against the worst team in SEC history so I don't know if it even counts.
