Three Most Memorable Wins of Saban Era (Discuss)

[pmull]

There are so many it is hard to pick only three.

2009 Florida - Make CUM azz quite and Tebow cry

2008 barn - 36-0 and ended their streak

2012 LSU - We were outplayed but managed to win anyway

My next three:

All from 2008 Clemson, UGA & LSU

Others: 2007 Arky, any LSU or barn win, 2009 UT, Mich St

Whew. Only three, huh? I got to go blackout game against Georgia, another from 2008, at LSU in overtime, and I guess Rocky Block from 2009.

Wow! I forgot all about the 2008 LSU game. Good reminder.


 

LSU was the "defending national champs" in that game.  Here's an even better reminder:  (Watching the video, you see Bama didn't have quite the talent level that it has today, while there are some great players on the field, a few gaps here and there on D which LSU exploits, and while I like Coffee he's not quite as powerful as the RBs that followed.)

That is the reason I consider 2008 to be Saban's greatest coaching effort and team of all time. He took a team with limited talent, speed, and ability and came close to winning the SEC and maybe even the National Championship. This was 2 years removed from the bumbling, stumbling, incompetent coaching of Shula.

The Georgia Blackout Game - because Georgia was all the rage before anyone snapped a football, and then they were properly Sabanated.

The Clemson Game - see above

The Michigan Game - because everyone in the big ten was thinking that this game would reveal that the best Big10 teams could be competitive with the best SEC teams, but then they were Sabanated.

For me what makes a top win is the domination/demoralization/"you thought you were gonna come in here and do what?" factor. For that reason the MichSt bowl game was a close call for my third place slot.

The first one that stands out to me is 2008 Clemson.  Ba-bye Tommy Bowden.
I guess the next one was 2008 UT.  Ba-bye Phillip Fulmer.
Then 2008 Auburn.  Ba-bye Tommy Tuberville.

Ba-bye now, thank you for flying Crimson Tide airlines.

07 Arky
09 Tenn
12 LSU

The Arky game was for the fans. It showed us what was possible. UT we were on our way to NC and LSU was a game the team needed to show it could come back after being out played.

Honorable mention would be the UGA blackout and O9 aubie

I can't argue with this.

I thought about including 07 Arkansas in my list.  That was when I knew Bama was on its way back to prominence.

Tubs reaped the benefits of our probation years and the barn thought they were hot stuff. Then the stars aligned when we were no longer on probation, combined with Saban coming to the rescue. I love the fact that Bama has rendered them useless.

The Barn is never useless. If it wasn't for them, we would only have UT to make fun of.
