Alabama vs Texas
In the long history of both Alabama and Texas football there have only been eight meetings between the two teams - three regular season matchups and five bowl games.The first game was held in Tuscaloosa 1902 and the most recent was the 1982 Cotton Bowl. Alabama has never won against the Longhorns.
The Crimson Tide hopes to bring that streak to an end on Jan. 7, 2010 when the two teams will go head-to-head in the BCS National Championship game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
In anticipation of that event I am taking a look back over the historical matchups between the two teams over at Roll Bama Roll. A list of the entries including direct links is after the jump.

An Interview with Andy Staples
The College Football Preview issue of Sports Illustrated for the 2009 season hit newsstands this week and it pretty much follows the pre-season script. Ole Miss is the new hotness and will represent the SEC West come the conference Championship in December.Whatever.
I got a chance to chat with the magazine's SEC writer, Andy Staples and he explained there is a lot more uncertainty in the conference this year than most people seem to think. Ole Miss has some advantages going in but Alabama, LSU and Florida are hitting their stride as powers on the national scale. We also discussed the progress Nick Saban has made stocking the talent cupboard that was pretty bare when he arrived in Tuscaloosa.
My interview can be found over at the SB Nation website covering all things Alabama, Roll 'Bama Roll.
