Before I came to this site at the end of 2008 (honestly) I had no ill feelings towards LSU. But over the last 12 years I believe you have earned rival status, imo.
So welcome to the Bama rival group... you can take your seat along with the Barners and VOLLLLLLL...Ls.
So, let's update the stats.
Bama vs Vols (W/L/T) - 58-37-8
Bama vs Barners (W/L/T) - 47-37-1
At this point we sit at 105-74-9
Split the ties (only seems fair)... and we are at 109.5 in 188 games... so a 58% win percentage against rivals.
Now add in LSU...
Bama vs LSU (W/L/T) - 54-26-5
Yet again... split the ties... and we are at 166 wins vs 273 total games.... so a 61% win percentage against our rivals.
Thanks for the bump... and welcome to da club.

I think it's a rivalry to people who post on this board, but to the majority of fans, not really

LSU doesn't have rivals.
We just prefer to beat:
--Tier 1--
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
--Tier 2--
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Georgia
Paying head coaches 19mm to leave
--Tier 3--
Lil 8 minus OM
Paying coordinators 4MM to leave

That’s if we can keep it going. Another year of the shite we had this season and I’ll gladly surrender the honor

Don’t consider them a rivalry. Just a tough match up in recent history.
I simply like to pick on them because they’re an easy target and get so easily get riled up.
It's their own fault really.

Umm no.
They have won 1 game in the last 9 games or something like that.
Ole Miss has more wins in that time period than LSU.
Outside this forum, I rarely see Alabama fans talking about LSU.

Yes, ever since Saban stepped off the plane in T Town. Les Miles knew it, and acknowledged it saying, "now, we have a new rival in (MFing) Alabama."

Most Bama's fan Don't consider them a rival outside this board. They're hardly mentioned on other Bama sport's boards.

Nah.

Only on this board. 10 out of the last 11 does not equal a rivalry. Lsu fans have said this for years about UA/UT.

I'm sure they will finally sleep at night, their food will taste better, and they will enjoy spending time with their family now that you have said this

No they are not.
They have an infatuation with our coach and our winning. A decade ago they were "rivals" with Auburn.
The reality is they are just obsessed and green with envy of anyone who has success

Yes. It’s not a “historic” rivalry like Tenner, or an instate rivalry like Auburn, but yes. I’ve said this for years.
LSU has surpassed Tenner as our rival. Tenner is a dead program.
