Mt. Saban, a slippery slope

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Leigh Tiffin completed a kicking meltdown with a missed extra point, Ben Cleveland did a funky touchdown dance in the second overtime, and when it was over Sept. 23, 2006, Coach Houston Nutt gleefully mounted a conductor's stand at Reynolds Razorback Stadium and led the Arkansas band in the fight song.

Arkansas victories over Alabama weren't out of the ordinary at the time. In fact, the 2006 game improved Arkansas' on-the-field SEC record to 7-8 against the Crimson Tide.

Who could have predicted that 24-23 double-overtime victory, the Razorbacks' second in four years over Alabama, would be Arkansas' last in the series for the foreseeable future?
