Arkansas hasn’t shown up to play many games either since joins the SEC

Bama is way more times than not the favorite in the Iron Bowl, and Barn pulls out their entire bag of tricks to make it close. It’s an annoying frustrating game to watch.
Bama has been way more times than not the favorite in every game since Saban got there. Literally I don’t think they were an underdog more than five times in 14 seasons, so I don’t get your point.
Saban’s dominance and our stupidity has diminished the Iron Bowl but it’s been way worse for the TSIO. Alabama has dominated Tennessee worse than Georgia is dominating Auburn right now.
The thing with the Iron Bowl is that Alabama and Auburn share the state and there is a very sizable portion of the state that goes for Auburn. Winning or losing the Iron Bowl means something on a daily basis for the entire year. The TSIO ends and everyone moves on with their lives.
And prior to Saban and Gus’s demise/Harsin/Freezefrickery, the series was fairly even. Alabama is currently 22-20 against Auburn since 1982 (when Auburn began playing football, of course). 50-37-1 overall and was 38-33-1 at the start of Saban’s dominant run.
The whole idea that “Alabama always wins it unless Auburn pulls out enough tricks to snag a win” ignores the history of the series. It’s been fairly back and forth overall with each team having some spurts of consecutive victories.
On the other hand, Alabama is 59-39 against Tennessee and 16-1 against them since Saban got to Alabama.

What are you basing this on? Your OT win against lame duck Sun Belt Billy last week?

If not for Nick Saban, LSU would still be a dumpster fire program most likely
So what you’re saying is without Saban, LSU would be like Tennessee?

Shows you don't actually watch football or Tennessee. We are the most physical team in the conference right now.

As someone once said, "There is no team that Alabama fans want to beat more than Tennessee. There is no team that Alabama fans hate to lose to more than Auburn." That remains true, I think. I just kind of pity and feel sorry for Auburn, although when we do lose to them it makes me fricking miserable. Tennessee, on the other hand, can burn in the fiery pits of Hell win or lose.

Another victim of the great fat Phil. There's never been another man in CFB strike fear and hatred in the gumps more than Fulmer did.

Whatever Fulmer did or didn't do to us, it can't be anything to remotely compare to what Saban did to Tennessee. I mean he just held you down and buttfricked you, year after year after year.

You looked awfully soft and finesse last week vs Florida.

You don't know SEC football.

Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but considering a shite ton of IBs were played at "neutral" Legion Field before 1989, I'm actually impressed we kept the all-time series record as close as we have in spite of that....
