But, no way is LSU seen as a really important team by the majority of Alabama fans.


That is because Alabama fans are crazy.

No one cares about Alabama-Tennessee. That game has been irrelevant for years.

Alabama-Auburn rarely means anything at all except for last year and in 2010. Other than that, it is rare that both teams are really good.

SVP is talking about national perception about what is actually important and the quality of football being played. You are right. That concept is probably lost on the majority of Alabama fans.

As for "new money bull shite," whatever, man. Just another example of how your entire perception of college football begins and ends with Alabama and nothing else.

I am not that interested in what the "majority of Alabama fans" think. You are talking about a fairly ignorant group of people with that population sample.

God you are a stupid kid. The Auburn vs Bama rivalry has been competitive 10x longer than the program of LSU has.

AlaTiger, it's not arrogance. Your perception that all Alabama residents are ignorant is arrogance.

Listen, all I am saying is that the so called Alabama-LSU rivalry is just that, so called.

It's something that LSU fans seem to wish were true more than anything else, football-wise, but, it just isn't.

Is there a good competition in the last decade, sure. Is LSU a great team, yes.

But, come on dude, LSU is not a real rivalry for Alabama. LSU, in coonie's minds, are a rival of Alabama only because of Nick Saban.

We just don't see it that way, honestly. Saban is not the end all for us. We have had a lot of good coaches and a lot of good teams.

Nope, I'm pretty sane actually.

Well said. I laugh at the Bama & Tennessee fans who treat that game like it's still a competitive rivalry.
