In 2021, The Texas A&M Aggies pulled off the shocker of the season when they upset the Crimson Tide in College Station 41-38. The upset snapped Alabama’s 19-game winning streak that dated all the way back to 2019. However, the Tide haven’t forgotten and have had this game circled in their calendar for months.
To make matters worse, Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher shared a war of words this summer over the use of name, image, likeness (NIL) that got a little out of hand. While both sides will tell you it’s not a big deal and it has been resolved, this one is personal to both sides.
