History

[edit]

North Alabama and West Alabama first met in 1949 and played every year up to and including 2017. West Alabama was the only program that North Alabama had faced every season since the Lions restored their football program in 1949, after a 21-year-long hiatus since 1928, and until the rivalry was put on hiatus after the 2017 season.

Gulf South Conference: 1970–2017

[edit]

North Alabama and West Alabama have been in the same conference since 1970, and were both founding members of the Mid-South Conference in 1970 and their current conference,Gulf South Conference a year later. The Lions and Tigers have played ever since 1970 for 49 match-ups. In fact, the Lions and Tigers even played twice in the regular season in 1986. In 2011, the Lions and Tigers met in the regular season andpost-season.

West Alabama upset North Alabama in both 2002 and 2004 in Livingston, and in 2009 in four overtimes in Florence when the Lions were rankedNo. 1 in the nation. That was West Alabama's first win in Florence since 1987. The Tigers were led in that game by former North Alabama head coachBobby Wallace.

Bobby Wallace has coached at both schools, coaching at North Alabama from 1988 to 1997, West Alabama from 2006 to 2010 and returning to the Lions from 2012 to 2016.[2][5]

The 2017 season was the last for the rivalry for the foreseeable future, following UNA's announcement that it would upgrade its athletic program toNCAA Division I, joining theASUN Conference for non-football sports in 2018 and eventually theBig South Conference in football.[6][7]
