re: Saban is 13-1 in Revenge games since joining the SEC

Because you wouldn't count every loss in the loss column for revenge games. He lost to Auburn in 2000, and beat them in 2001 as a "revenge" game. He lost in 2002, and beat Auburn in 2003 as a "revenge" game. He lost in 2004, but wasn't there in 2005 to have a "revenge" game. The same goes for the Arkansas series, while Saban was at LSU. He lost to the Hogs in 2000, and won in 2001 in a "revenge" game. He lost in 2002, and won in 2003 as a "revenge" game. The Florida series brought a loss in 2000 and 2001, so the "revenge" didn't come that that time. He got it in 2002 winning 36-7. He lost in 2003, and got his "revenge" in The Swamp in 2004. As for UAB, he never got the chance for a "revenge" game, as you said.

So, the numbers do "jive". His one loss in a "revenge" game came in 2001 to Florida, in Steve Spurrier's last season in Gainesville.
