I'll give credit to the Bama fans in this thread. Clearly you have some sense. Actually, most of the Bama fans that come over here have their head on straight, so I have no quarrel with you.
But, living in Alabama, I can tell you that the "Miles is an idiot who only won with Saban's players" is a constant refrain. It is beyond irritating. We win the national championship in Miles' third year and no credit or respect is given. The whole response is, "We've got your coach who put you there and you're headed for the garbage heap, so enjoy this while you can. It will end soon." Did anyone say that about Urban Meyer?
I know it shouldn't matter, but the fact that our old coach went to a rival is bad enough. Add to that the infantile response of rubbing it in our face and claiming all credit in the way that Bama fans do toward LSU, well, that is the source of the hatred that if flowing from Louisiana right now. It all finds it's home in the ignorance that is the Bama nation. If you guys (again, not talking about the Bama posters on this board) would have a little humility and give LSU and Coach Miles a little credit, then you'd see a huge change in attitude toward you.
Case in point: Look at how LSU fans respect Tim Tebow.

I've always liked LSU. I think some people just bring the Les Miles noise up to piss people off... which seems to work.
I will say watching last year that LSU had no business losing to Kentucky and Arkansas. Losing to a very one-dimensional Arky team when you're in the driver seat for the championship game was shocking. I don't think it means Miles is a bad coach but that was a huge lapse that people can point too... much like losing a game to ULM.

This has been the source of animosity from AU fans forever. Bama fans have never wanted to give AU any credit or respect for anything, so AU gets pissed. When AU beats Bama there is ALWAYS an excuse from the MAJORITY of Bama nation. The most recent is probation, but there has always been one. I remember when I was a little kid in the 80's and then early 90's at school after AU won it would be the refs cheated or Pat Dye cheated, or whatever. Never any credit given and it has never changed. LSU fans are seeing this now and it may never change with the majority of bama fans. It does not matter that LSU is currently better or that AU has been better for almost 30 years, the delusion runs strong in gumpland and facts are not relevant.
