Yet…. Here you are once again starting a thread about LSU.

The Bama posters on this board post about LSU three times as much as they do about Auburn and Tennessee combined.

LSU is 27-57-5 all time against Alabama Alabama has more wins in Baton Rouge (30) than LSU has in the series (27) The game mattered more because of the Saban element. Without him, LSU shouldn’t be treated like a rival.


Shut up bitch…..LSU is 11-15 against bama over the last 25 years, with several games lost in OT….

This has absolutely been an intense rivalry since 2000, don’t be pretentious.

bama vs lsu has never been a rivalry. It was media contrived

Saban era Bama-LSU was a rivalry because they hated Saban with the passion of an ex wife and it often determined the SEC West.

Remains to be seen what the game will be and mean moving forward.

To be fair, all those night games from about 2008-2016 were absolute cinema.

In the 10 seasons from 2011 to 2019, it was a top 5 November matchup 6 times. I think in the years Saban coached at Alabama, the two teams meet with one or fewer losses between them 7 times. It's been a top ten matchup 11 times since 2000.

Of course tv is going to play that up that late in the season.

Honest question for all SEC programs.

Do any of you consider LSU your #1 rival?

How humiliating for Louisiana State

ok it until I joined this website. I knew they were a passionate fanbase, but was mostly treated well in BR while tailgating, aside from the year I saw them spitting on the 'Bama players as they were exiting the tunnel (trashy as frick, but still not an indictment of everyone.)

It was just a fun, usually competitive SEC game to me, and that was it. Then I joined this board, and holy shite. I did not realize the amount of brain damage a great many of their fans have actually suffered due to Alabama over the years.

So I think most of the Alabama fanbase doesn't realize the absolute seething hatred these guys have for our team and athletic programs as a whole. I was fine with not knowing, but the most vocal corndog retards melting over the game on this site sure does make the annua


All that BS, and yet, if there's an LSU thread, you're in it.

Don't tell us you don't care.

They are the only 2 teams to win at least 3 national titles since 2000 and have played every year for most of our lives.

Watching Any Given Saturday though proves how much it means to LSU. Whit Weeks himself said Bama is LSU’s biggest rival lmao. Then BK’s pregame speech leading into 42-13 was hilarious

1. Florida
2. Auburn
3a. South Carolina
3b. Tennessee
4. Alabama
as far as SEC teams go.

Would place GTU and Clemson above LSU if the criteria was more than SEC teams.

Yea not sure why anyone even acts like Bama fans care about LSU, they don't

Listen to the Dixieland Delight and they only chant about their 2 biggest rivals Auburn and Tennessee

I could not have cared less before joining this site, and the majority of my family/friends who are 'Bama grads never talked about LSU with the sort of vitriol we reserve for rocky slop and the barn.

I wonder if Tulane had remained in the SEC, would you guys have still tried to glom onto 'Bama to try and force a rivalry into existence?
