Interesting stat in the CL this morning.

[State82]

No team has won at Baton Rouge and at Tuscaloosa in the same year since 1957. That team was MSU.

I'd be curious how many teams actually have this opportunity. The SEC usually doesn't stick it up some ones rear with that schedule.

For example, I think we are the only team this year that actually has this opportunity. Ole Missus & Arkansas both played Bama at home, and Texas A&M and Auburn both play LSU at home.

[FlabLoser]

Ole Miss hasn't. They avoided playing Bama during the Vaught era.

Ole Miss hasn't. They avoided playing Bama during the Vaught era.

Must be cause Ole Miss is one of three flagship Universities in Mississippi.

co-co-flagships.

One other thing that has affected that: Alabama for many years played most of thier big games in Birmingham.

This reminds me of the stat that shows how many times we have lost to Alabama. They don't consider that most, something like 80% of those games were played in a different venue than Davis Wade. I mean correct me if I am wrong, but didn't we play alabama in birmingham and Jackson more than Davis Wade?

[EAVdog]

Yes, State and Ole Miss both played Bama in Birmingham and Jackson more than on campus. I went to a few of those Bama games back in the day as a kid with my Dad, a Bama 15%er (actual alum).
