re: Was Alabama's Success in 2008-09 Due In Part to LSU Being Down?

Yeah you're claiming 08 and 09 were good years for Bama because LSU was "down". Even though they had no reason to be "down". Yet you completely discard Bama's situation when LSU was successful. Later.

LSU was down because Miles booted RP off the team. It would be the equivalent of kicking Gmac off of the Bama squad the year after JPW graduated and you guys won it all. Oh, Saban left us in quite a hole with the recruiting class from 2005 too.

But man that 2008 defense was just atrocious Of course both teams benefit from the other team having a down year.. that's a tough game and a tough rivalry.
