[FONT=&quot]What was the best team Alabama ever played at home? When I asked the question about ever, I realize many will probably name a team Alabama played in a bowl game or SECCG so I thought I'd make this question about a visiting opponent. [/FONT]

One of the U$Cw teams, that came to Legion Field.

2011 LSU has to be on up there.

 

[BamaMoon]

One of the U$Cw teams, that came to Legion Field.

Isn't that when CPB basically decided to integrate and change Alabama football forever?

1978 season USCw with Charles White as their running back, or LSU 2011 get my vote. Certainly the two best I've witnessed in person.

 

[BamaMan09]

Oklahoma in 2003.

That was one of them. (I think someone wrote a book about it.)

The other was when we won a disputed Championship, that U$Cw said should have been theirs, since they beat us, on our field.

1978 usc.

What was the best team that Alabama ever beat, on the road, in an odd numbered year, with a Democratic president in office, by exactly 11 points?

1993, USCe at Columbia. Score 17-6

Changed my mind: 1999 at Awbarn 28-17

Penn State in 1986. They went on to won the National Championship. They took us behind the wood shed, in Bryant Denny, 23-3.

That 2011 LSU team had almost everything this 2018 Bama team has except a world class QB. We got two of them.

Don't forget about UF with Emmit Smith at rb -- cannot remember the year. I was sitting on the 50 in the upper deck in Legion Field and watched him run all over us. We mocked them in warmups, but they ate our lunch...totally and completely.

I honestly don't believe any of the USCw teams of the 70s could beat the 2011 L8U team. So I'll go with L8U in 2011.

That's easy. Georgia, 2009 in Athens, 41-30 (Obama's first year. Interesting that we won four natties during the tenure of the only American president with Bama in his name!) (That's in no way intended to be political, so please let's not have anyone get their panties in a wad)

Oklahoma in 2003.

The LSU team we faced at home that same season was better.

We played UGA in Athens in 2008, not 2009.

i'm going to get my panties in a wad over the egregious use of the term "natties"

2011 lsu.

Yep, they beat that Oklahoma team.
