Alabama head coach Nick Saban won't single out LSU as a special rivalry -- the school has multiple big rivalries, he says -- but credits LSU's success for adding interest to the game.
"LSU has become a little bit of a rivalry game because their program has become so good," Saban said. "This game usually has a lot of significance coming down to the ninth game of the season because we've had some success too. That's what's made it a national interest game, that's what's made it a rivalry game and that's what's made it an important game. So it's a real compliment to them."

So of course I expect massive butthurt.

It's much more important than Tennessee. That game is useless for Bama because of Tennessee's irrelevance.

Kind of a weird thing to say considering he brought us out of the gutter that was the 90's.

???? Saban. You're such a swell guy. Giving us a backhanded compliment will do so much to help our self-esteem.

Yes sir. We love winning in Baton Rouge. We always have. We love to beat LSU. Second best SEC program right now.

Well duh.
Alabama and LSU are rivals. Not as big as Auburn and Tennessee for Alabama, but rivals nonetheless.

Frick Nick Saban. Can you believe this arsehole? "A little bit of a rivalry?" What an arrogant prick. LSU gives them the only consistent challenge in the Division. It's the game that is consistently picked as the Primetime matchup of the season. It's statements like this that make be dispise this guy.

Is Saban a better troll than Spurrier?

This whole debate has become just plain silly. Saban is only acknowledging what the rest of us know, which is that LSU and Bama have become must-beat teams when playing each other simply because both programs have national aspirations year in and year out. Even when the game isn't crucial to deciding the division title, it's important for the winning (or losing, see 2011) team's resume, boosting their ranking and put them in position to play for the NC. No, LSU isn't a "traditional" rival for Bama like UT or AU are, but it's certainly a situational one. I'm not sure why certain fans from both fanbases are so frantic to deny this. Rivalry games are good. They're exciting, they're meaningful, they're season-defining games. There's a reason teams have "rivals" and it's not just because they've been playing for a long time. It's because they want to have rivals, want opponents that are more than just the game du jour.
Honestly, it doesn't hurt anybody to agree that Bama and LSU are rivals. If one of them becomes a non-factor in the future, the "rivalry" can be dropped. No harm, no foul. But there's no reason fans can't enjoy the rivalry while it's happening.

He forgot to remind the little people attending the next game in Bryant-Denny Stadium that he will be disappointed in them if they boo the opposing team.
