The biggest difference is how consistently LSU took their Sweet 16's in the 80's and capitalized on them. Wimp never could break that barrier. Bizarre, because the two programs were almost identical during the regular seasons.

Anyway, I do find it interesting that Bama holds the head to head record over LSU in two sports that LSU clearly performs better in the overall scheme of things. Do yall have naked pictures of Mike that makes him scared of yall bastards?

Hahaha - it is strange. The basketball one makes sense. Like I said above, LSU had some great tourney runs, but our programs had lots of very similar regular seasons and LSU just found a way to win at the Sweet 16 level while we didn't. Mad props to them for that.

Baseball though, yea, it's strange. Even in some of your best years of the 1990's (which happened to also be our best, yet slightly worse than LSU, years) we still gave you guys all you wanted. You guys just capitalized on it.

1996 - Alabama takes 2 of 3 in Baton Rouge (LSU wins national title, Alabama loses in CWS)

1997 - Alabama takes 3 of 6 overall, 2 of 3 in Tuscaloosa, 1 of 2 in SECT, 0 of 1 in CWS (LSU wins national title, Alabama loses to LSU in CWS)

Basketball and Baseball we have had really similar programs (baseball less so because LSU kept winning at an insane level while we slipped a bit post-1999), but LSU basketball and baseball won big on the big stage and we just never could break through in either.
