True. It's borderline creepy though.


No, it's universally known as megalomania.

LSU fans caling another fanbase psychotic is hilarious. You douchebags are so hypocritical it's pathetic.

How does this compare to a fanbase that has attacked another team's bus with glass bottles, who flips opposing fans in the port-o-lets, who burns down buildings on Auburn's campus, whose AD and team captain need to come on the jumbotron before kick off and beg the fans not to behave like inbred assholes, who burn other coaches in effigy, who steal opposing players and coaches phone numbers and crank call them, and whose student section chants "frick You Spurrier"? I think it's safe to say that you lunatics have the psychotic market locked down.

We do have our share of idiots as well, but don't pretend Alabama is the epitome of class either.

"frick you nolatide"

seriously though, why to you have to refer to the LSU fanbase as "douchebags"? But you once tried dog on me for using the term.

And I'm sure bama fans have done their share of fricked up things to opposing fans also. But who gives a frick about a few bad apples. We are southern people that are crazy about our football. ThAt's a scary combination. And if you ask ANYBODY in the country other than SEC fans, they will all tell you how awesome LSU fans are.

You also don't go undefeated, and Saban can't win back to back double digit wins in Baton Rouge either. Saban will be staying where he can be more successful.

Yet, Les Miles was able to do it three years in a row.

Because the difference is that with you guys it actually applies.

Bama fans have our issues, but nothing any where close to the stuff I named. What's worse is that yall take pride in being assholes. To deny that this is limited to a few bad apples is completely delusional.

Maybe some in the fanbase takes pride in being "assholes," but this isn't the general consensus of the LSU fans. We take pride in being great hosts and having a good time. I can't stand the assholes in our fanbase.

Honestly, Les isn't a bad coach. In fact, he's a pretty good coach and really good recruiter. It's just when you have had the best coach and best recruiter it's hard to stay humble and be happy with what you have.

No, nolatide is right. He personally met all 93,000 fans coming in to an LSU game and concluded that they were all assholes and dbags.

Like I said, everybody in the country agrees that our game day atmosphere is the most fun and our fans know how to party. We just treat Alabama fans like shite because yall are little bitches. You, my enemy, are a prime example.

I wouldn't even say saban is a better recuiter. Some of the classes and players miles pulls in are better than what saban did here. Miles can screw up several times and have his offense ranked very poorly and still pull in a top notch class the next year. Pretty impressive

Yeah, it's hard to argue that honestly. I still think Nick is better but it would be a 40 page dual trying to back it up. Les can certainly go get what he wants.

Imo, saban gets players, especially defensively, because of the product he puts on the field. Miles isn't totally incompetent like some on here try to say, but his recruiting ability comes partly from the fact that he is a wholesome dude with great character and some of it has to be from the fact that we are LSU. Closest sec powerhouse to Texas. La is chock full of talent. And growing up here, all you ever dream about is playing in P&G

Alabama fans really don't question every move Saban makes, far from it, cause were still in the "oh well he knows best" phase, I mean we did just win a NC and haven't lost a regular season game in two years so there's some reason for that. A good portion of the fanbase doesn't question ANYTHING he does. But say we lose 3 games or so this year (tough schedule, inexperienced secondary, post-national championship letdown, etc) it will start to become more widespread.
