LSU was a contested game because LSU was the team to beat in the SECw for a decade. That is no longer the case so the game no longer has the same meaning.

Arky has a much better coaching staff and they are more physical up front so they present a tougher challenge. Bama has not been able to run on Arky the last two years.

Ole Miss has a better coaching staff and a competent offense so they present a greater challenge.

Auburn is actual rivalry and actually won the west twice recently.

Texas A&M runs a style of offense that has been difficult at times for Bama to stop.

Missippi State is always a phyiscal game. Its always tough sledding against them.

LSU has done nothing recently to seperate themselves from the other programs. Thus it has become just another game.

So the game don't mean as much only because bama is the team to beat now????

I'm not sure what the average age of users is on this board. But my father is in his early 60s, and he said even when he was growing up the bama lsu game was mostly always "the game" for some reason, so nothing new. I'm pretty sure saban going to Alabama ran it threw the roof(saban bowl),but really after the first year it didn't mean much, all of his players( which were freshmen when he left so w/e) left college after that. So yes for a few years after that it was I can't believe he went to Alabama naturally, but to say after 9 years it's still like yesterday ahhhhh no. But bama isn't in lsu head because of saban I think we have proved we can take down bama with saban at the helm. But if a team has beats you x amount of times, only do you think about it naturally. I think that's with any team and not just bama. I don't know the records but I think every team has that 1 team that has their number, and ours is bama, and yes it's aggravating, but hey at least it's bama.
