We probably don't belong, I mean I think we have a losing record vs. Duke in football.

So I looked up the all-time record (24-17-3) and you're right, but a bulk of those losses came in the 40s and 50s when Wallace Wade and William Murray were coaching, both of whom are in the CFB Hall of Fame.

Wallace Wade in particular (arguably) won three national championships at Alabama before leaving for Duke, and is who their football stadium is named after.

So while technically true, it's not as shameful as it may appear.
