Why are LSU fans so obsessed with Bama on here?


1. Look at the record between Bama and LSU. Alabama leads 48-25-5.

2. Bear Bryant owned them in the 60's and 70's, including 11 straight wins 1971-1981. Coach Bryant's record against LSU while the Bama coach, 18-4.

3. After Bryant's death, the series evened up some. But then came the 90's. From 1989-1999, Bama led the series 9-2.

4. Then, Bam! LSU got Coach Saban and Bama got crippling probation. LSU lead the series during their Saban era 4-1, with Franchoine being the only coach to win for Bama in 2002.

5. Les Miles continued the trend beating Alabama his first 3 years, making it the first time, combined with Saban's last 2, to beat Alabama 5x in a row. The 1st time LSU had beaten Alabama more than twice in a row during the whole series.

6. 2007, one of LSU's greatest coaches that had lead them to their 2nd national championship, came back from the NFL and went to Alabama. A LSU fan's worse nightmare.

7. After Saban's 1st year, which he lost to LSU, the series again started to go in Alabama's favor. Right now it's 5-3 Bama. Plus Saban lead Alabama to 3 National Championships and 2 SEC championships.

Plus the worst hurt of all for the LSU fandom was the 2011 season ending. After beating Bama at BD, they thought they would have a perfect National Championship season. They were unbeaten, the #1 team in the nation, and had won the SEC Championship. But Bama was picked to play them in the BCS Champ game.

One of their greatest seasons ended in a loss to Bama in their backyard, New Orleans, on a national stage where they lost 21-0. The first and only time a team was shutout in the BCS national championship game.

8. Now Saban is going into Louisiana and recruiting some of the top high school football players from the state that he had locked down when he was the LSU coach.

I think you have that backwards pal. The Detergent Head Skoal Drool Chin Teafagging MulliGumpNeck Things don't have a decent site or message board, so they come on the SEC Rant (sponsored by the TIGER rant, an LSU FAN site) to spew their frustrations....

LSU has the most fans here, followed by Bama. Whether anyone likes it or not, Bama and LSU ARE rivals. LSU isn't as big as UT or Aubie to us, but they're right under them. There aren't many Viles here, and we argue with the Auburn fans too, but because there are so many of us from the Bama and LSU fanbases, that is sort of the most prominent arguing you'll find on here.

Top two teams In cfb year-in-year-out (generally speaking)...LSU and Bama

Nick Saban coaches Bama, and is casting a large shadow over LSU since Bama started winning the titles.

21-0 hurt and won't go away until LSU wins it all again

Take Saban/Bama out of the picture, and lsu probably wins the title in 2011 and 2012....it's easy to be envious of alabama's history to begin with, and our former coach racking up the titles at our expense just makes it worse

It's a nasty combination of envy, frustration, embarrassment, hope, missed opportunities, and pride.

I've actually wondered if there was more to it than Saban being the former coach. I think most SEC fans assume the rest of the country follows the conference closer than they actually do.

I'm not ready 9 pages so sorry if already posted....

In short (LOL) Saban....and LSU plays bama every year and if we don't beat them, it's likely LSU isn't going to the SEC Championship.
