I mean, you figs can sit there and deny it if you want.
LSU was beginning to turn the Tide before Saban came back. The Tigers had won 5 straight leading into Sabans first year.
Then all of a sudden the coach that won LSU a Natty had Bama rolling.
All the fricking hype this game generates every single year. Game of the century? The rematch natty? Tua vs Burrow, Yeldon Screen Pass,
Alabama has been a thorn in LSUs side for YEARS now and they are finally fighting back again under a non retard HC.
frick yeah it's a rivalry. It's no Iron Bowl , but that game is circled on a lot of calendars every year.
When Saban leaves , maybe it'll die down but I doubt it. Brian Kelly has had some monster recruiting bombs lately. And Bama is Bama.
It'll be a good game for the foreseeable future. The media and the casual fans love that shite, and the GOTC was probably the most insane week of hype I've ever seen.
I think a lot of this came from 2011 as a whole. It was LSU, Alabama , and then someone the frick else WAYYYYYYY down the list.
Hell yeah

Since 1895, and doing a solid job with a 55–27–5 record to boot.
ETA: Let’s go with 1903 since that was Bamas first win.

Tennessee and Auburn have more relevance to the fans. LSU has been more relevant as competitor for the division and conference for the last 2 decades. It would stop being a rivalry if LSU went off the rails for a prolonged period. There isn’t the multigenerational hate from the Bama fanbase to fuel a rivalry when the team is bad. Vols were awful for over a decade and winning TSIO was still a big one.

Alabama would play LSU for homecoming back in the 90’s. It was never a hateful event. Nick Saban came along to LSU and Bama tried LSU on homecoming one last time and LSU straight up beat Alabama’s arse. I mean LSU broke a few Conference records that day. So that happened, then in 2002 Bama went down to Baton Rouge and shut out the Tigers 31-0 and that was a lot of fun. It was ominous because the Tide’s program was about to be possibly shut down and most of us knew it, but “Hey LSU maybe Bama can buy you some offense” was the joke of the night.. Then Alabama was knocked into a coma until 2007. That’s when the true hatefulness began between UA and LSU. I expect it to last for a long time even after Saban leaves because it’s not like these two programs are ever going to be too friendly ever again. It’s a rivalry now.

Bama has been a thorn in LSU’s side? More like a .300 Weatherby Magnum to the side, they’ve killed yall, as well as everyone else.

It’s very clearly a rivalry.

Probation aided wins over Shula.

I go way back in the Tiger vs Bama series.This game was always one of the toughest wins on our schedule.Cholly Mac was a great HC for LSU but he just couldn't find a way to beat the Bear.I'm happy to say I was in Death Valley when we finally beat Bama 20-15 in the last year of the Bear.
I believe in Coach Kelly ability to Win N C (s) but my only concern is his offensive philosophy over a defensive mind set ...we shall see.

LSU wasn't turning squat. The NCAA had done that. Gosh how people .."conveniently".. forget this. Auburn, UT, hell even Ms State and Arkie went on streaks against Bama.
It's a big game, nothing more. Yall please stop begging us. It looks so pathetic. We also don't have rivalries with Ole Miss, Arkie and State but they don't constantly yell, Bama, look at us, look at us.
Again, historically, you are closer to being an Auburn than being an Alabama. Bama is there with USC, OU, Ohio St, those guys.

The hype is not nearly as big you think it is outside of Louisiana where it's the Super Bowl. Game of the Century? There have been like 10 of those with various universities playing in them so it wasn't anything more than a media ploy like the others for money. The rematch Natty? Ok, so what? Yeldon screen pass? great play but it was one in a lot that game. That play doesn't even register on the 100 greatest plays in Bama history. It's bigger to LSU fans than Bama fans.

To be fair most teams were consistently getting the better of us in the Shula years and end of the Dubose era
Can’t really remember giving a shite about the LSU match up prior to Saban coming and LSU fans getting triggered tho so you’re somewhat right. Saban made this game as close to a rivalry as it will ever be

I think Saban adds more to the rivalry from the LSU perspective than he does from the Alabama perspective.
I'm not a Bama fan that will downplay the rivalry with LSU. While our truest rivals (from a hatred perspective) are Auburn and TN, LSU is our rival because this game has decided the SEC West Champ more often than not

Look, I love to beat LSU and I hate to be beat by LSU, but it just isn't the same as it is with Tenneesse and Auburn.
When I was in school playing LSU was hardly a blimp on the meter scale. The only thing I had heard about Tiger stadium was that Bear said it was his least favorite place to play because it was so loud.
Now, UT and Auburn was in a whole another class and any year either team, especialy, Auburn could win. It's the history that makes them our rivals, we just don't have history with LSU!

I would argue it became a rivalry when LSU won the title with Saban.
