re: Is Bama/LSU a rivalry? It's taken me some time... but I now say yes.

It is not a rivalry. I root for LSU all the time

This.

Like said earlier, it is the "rivalry" that has mostly emerged online with trolling and ball busting back and forth.

Good storylines with Saban, GotC Pts 1/2, streaks, GoAT seasons, etc. and I've certainly met some fans on both sides IRL who act like posters here, but, for the most part, lots of respect for each other and good fans on both sides.

I like Miles, like Coach O, and thought 2019 was a great story and season to watch. I was really happy LSU won since Bama couldn't. In turn, I have never wanted ANYTHING good to happen for UTk or AU.

If its a rivalry, it is a gentleman's rivalry for the most part. Competitive for some bragging rights and pride, but not year round dislike or hate for the other team, at least IMO.
