Roll Tide! Bama 59, Aggies 0

Some games are blow outs. Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium we did more than beat a ranked SEC opponet; we stomped their face with a hob nailed boot. It was a glorious win, much needed shot in the arm for Bama faithful, and an indicator that we are still in the hunt for a playoff berth. When the updated rankings placed us at #4, behind Mississippi State, Florida State, and Ole Miss I was very happy. I think my Alma Mater works better as the underdog. We have a history of winning championships against highly favored #1 teams. Let's just hope those other three teams lose a game and we keep winning! Below paragraph from Al.com

59 Point margin of victory for Alabama over No. 21 Texas A&M on Saturday - the largest for the Crimson Tide in a game against a ranked team. The 59-0 victory eclipsed the 55-point margin established in Alabama's 61-6 victory over No. 14 Syracuse in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 1953. Saturday's game had Alabama's largest margin of victory in any contest since the Tide beat Tulane 62-0 on Oct. 12, 1991.

135 Games between shutout losses for Texas A&M. The Aggies' 59-0 loss to Alabama on Saturday was their first blanking since a 77-0 loss to Oklahoma on Nov. 8, 2003. That game is the worst loss in Texas A&M history. Saturday's loss is the second-worst.

Ok, nice factoids. The wonderful part of this story is that I was an eight year old kid at the game against Tulane back in '91. I distinctly remember the win and chanting "It's great to be from ALABAMA!" as my dad and I walked out of the stadium. We went on to defeat #1 Miami in the Sugar Bowl that season, winning the first Nat'l Championship in my lifetime under coach Gene Stallings. Hard to believe that was twenty-three years ago... time flies. Rammer Jammer!
