2002 Alabama was on a post season ban so we couldn’t “win” the SECW, but we did really stick it to the SEC by forcing everyone not a Georgia fan to watch the second worst SECCG ever.The record is 3-1-1. Alabama won in the Orange Bowl behind Joe Willie, 17-0. We tied in the old Blubonnet Bowl 20-20. Then the home-home in 2002-03. I believe your 2002 team won the SEC west. I was at both games and this series is what brought me to Tidefans. For the record, Bob's comments about the SEC were highly complimentary of Alabama. His point was that the conference as a whole, like other conferences, had its weaker members and wasn't all it was being made out to be top to bottom. He was also speaking from a position as a member of the Big 12 south which at that time was a very tough division. This all reminds me of the next time coach Fran brought a team to Norman ( 77-0 ). The OU student section began chanting "Roll Tide."
2002 Alabama vs Oklahoma was a pretty epic game even though we came out on the losing end.
