re: LSU vs Bama fans - a new perspective...

My worst experience ever after a game was when LSU lost to Arkansas in Little Rock in I think 2002 on one of the last plays of the game. Arky won the west from LSU on that last game. I was yelled and cussed at and had beer thrown at me all the way to my car. I've never been the victim of a lynching party but that was pretty darn close. Leading up to the game the Arky fans were pretty quiet.

All I can say about Bama fans is their fan base is a wreck for going so long without winning a championship. They have the older Fans who compare everything to Bear Bryant teams. Then you have a huge growing number of fans who only have the last 15 years to go by. Now Bama has the most arrogant and condescending coach in college football who's kicked all their asses including the media. That's what it took to get the bridle back on their program. The good old boys in Bama had to give up control to Nick and submit to Nick running everything. That was hard to swallow but they knew they had to do it. I expect they will run Saban off or Saban will run off the old order that's been running things since Bear Bryant died. Either way the power struggle will be interesting to watch.

And congrats to Tebow and Florida on a great run. You did the SEC proud. It's been great fun for LSU to be a key part in bringing the SEC up to being the best college football conference in the nation.
