It just seems like both fan bases seem to focus on the other's program VERY OFTEN when it comes to sports talk radio.

I know it's not technically a "rivalry" in the most traditional sense- but it's no secret that both schools at this time view the other as their chief threat for SEC West / National aspirations...I think this is just a symptom of the current balance of power.

LSU fans are more guilty of this than Bama fans imo.

I think LSU fans are obsessed with Bama and not the other way around.

That seems about right, IMO.

Take a stroll through the last several pages of the SECRant and count how many threads started by LSU fans about Bama, and how many started by Bama fans about LSU.

which fanbase is on the other fanbases message board?

I dont think bama is obsessed with us but considereing we're the only team they play with a pulse each year, they know going in we're the only threat, so they focus on us more than other teams.

The SEC Rant is not LSU's message board. Very few Bama posters ever appear on the Tiger Rant.

I think some people can't get it in their head that SEC rant is a separate website

Well we're comparable programs at the moment and LSU fans have done a bunch of prodding over the past few years. Can't be surprised when they fire back a little.

I think the SEC rant is obsessed with wanting LSU to be obsessed about their team

It's amazing how much LSU is discussed here

LSU fans are pi$$ed that A&M has trumped them and taken their place in Bama fans hearts. Kinda like a Jilted Lover.

You wouldn't be able to tell this is a "sec website" by the amount of LSU flame threads popping up on the daily.

I love how Bama is on our TV every fricking day but if we talk about them we are "obsessed".

And if we didn't talk about them they would think something is wrong.
