And of those 133 games....they have won 120 of them.
120-13 since August 30, 2008 - a winning percentage of .902. I know it sucks to be a rival fan right now and I know you're getting sick of us Alabama fans beating a dead horse, but runs like this don't come around too often. This is history. In 20 years, when this run has long since vanished into the annals of lore, you will be able to look back with awe, with anger, or with whatever emotion that comes to your brain when you think of this era in SEC history.
It might suck to live in, but when all of this is over with and in the past, you'll be glad you were alive to see it.

How can you beat yourself only 13 times in 9 years

In lieu of the way the world is right now I think it's safe to argue that outside of family and God CFB is the safest thing to put all your marbles in these days.

There hasn't been a school that has had a winning percentage above 90% over a ten year span since Bud Wilkinson's OU Sooners from 1949-1958. Well, technically Boise State did from 2002-2011 but the gulf in competition Boise State faced compared to Bama is cavernous. If Bama goes 14-1 this year, their overall winning percentage would be at exactly 90%.

Congratulations to Bama for their great accomplishments. It really is pretty amazing what Saban & Co. have done there over the past decade. Good for them.
And, for Alabama fans who watched the whole thing, happiness in life is good, so I'm glad you found joy there. Good for you.
To be honest, as an LSU fan, I used to care a lot more about what Alabama was doing when LSU was competitive with them. Now that Alabama beats LSU every year and it isn't that competitive and since LSU fell back a few notches, I don't pay much attention to Alabama at all. They are impressive, but I really don't care. I don't feel appreciation or awe or anything, really. They are just a college football team that wins a lot.
Sure, they'll beat LSU again, but the fun thing about actually being a fan of a TEAM and not just a fan of WINNING is that you get to enjoy life and root for your team whether they win or lose. Yes, you'd like to see your team win every game, but it's kind of a good feeling to know that I'm just as much a fan of LSU if the win or lose. I enjoyed the Auburn comeback and Ole Miss beatdown. It was fun.
All that said, congrats Alabama on all your winning. I wish it was us. I'd love to experience that. But, I can't hardly tell you a player on Alabama's team now. Back in 2009-2012, I could list the whole roster and the backups. Now, its just a bunch of college kids.
Admittedly, that has more to do with LSU being an 8-4 type program now than it does with any deficiency from Alabama. But, it is what it is.
So, congrats.

LSU has hit rock bottom.
Sounds like a fit for Butch Jones.

Bama from '71-80 89.7% and Miami '83-'92 the same percentage
I might be of a year with Miami and maybe it 89.6% but pretty awesome runs.

It's definitely impressive what the Tide have done and are still doing. However, College Football is in the business of "what have you done for me lately".....so lol ironically none of this dominance really isn't going to matter in the end because it's about winning now. Soon the Tide will stop winning and the reign will come to and end just as all good things do. When that time comes people will hate on the Tide and we will just leave in the past saying oh well we were dominant at one point way back when. So this winning has been special but unfortunately it's not going to last.

Wall of text to explain how Bama is not important to him. Makes you wonder just exactly who it is he's lying to.

I bet one can literally feel the swell of pride in your trailer while researching this.

Sounds like you could use a soothing ointment for some fairly intense rectal discomfort.

Saban's tenure started in '07, the current run started in '08, dickweed.
