No, I'm making the argument that LSU felt they were the "better team" last year after being outplayed supposedly by bama, and how bama didn't get beat by LSU, but beat themselves.
But you can't say the same for this weekend, LSU played a truly inspired game, looked like a completely different team than they have all year. Were obvioulsy fired up because of the revenge factor, but it just wasn't enough. Even with Alabama leaving a couple touchdowns on the field and the performance of Mettenberger's life, it just wasn't enough. The Tide prevailed as expected, and has now won 4 out of 6 over LSU. Because they are the better team and program. Not that complicated.

It doesn't matter whether it was true or not. The perspective that the majority of each fanbase expressed on November 5th, 2011 is is the same only reversed. I'm not looking at records, stats, or whether or not it's even a plausible opinion. Just how both felt at the time.
