Bama/LSU is just not a true rivalry. Both teams are really really good right now and so the passion and importance is magnified. But the history just isn't there.

They said the same thing about UF/Bama in '08 and '09. That this was the new rivalry and was bigger than any other game. Look how quickly that changed.

Let me put it this way: if LSU suddenly became terrible (not gonna happen, I know. But just go with me)the way UT is, we wouldn't give one shite about them. They would be like MSU or OM, just another opponent. But we will always hate UT no matter how unimportant they are.

What does that even mean? Geographic?

Because we are obviously the greatest competitive rivalry in all of college athletics.

We are also conference and division rivals.

We also played each other for a national title.

There are plenty of factors that say "true rivalry".

Do I harbor hate for Bama? No.

Only team I have ever had a visceral disdain for, is Auburn
