SERIous question...what are Bamas rival games...Auburn and ......? Any others?
Looks like we might be taking on Georgia with the conference expansion as a budding rival... but, they’ll win a few in order to be on par with UT! AU is little brother and we just have to keep them in line now and then..

Yeah, the two teams [Alabama and LSU] have obviously had some huge games, but I don't know anyone IRL from either side that considers it a rivalry in the traditional sense.
I know scores of LSU fans who consider Bama their primary rival. Just because LSU isn't Bama's primary rival doesn't mean Bama and LSU aren't rivals.
That's like saying Tennessee and Alabama aren't rivals because Alabama's primary rival is Auburn. The same is true for Michigan State and Michigan, Florida State and Florida, Texas A&M and Texas, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, Oregon State and Oregon, etc. Are those teams not rivals too?
Teams can have more than one rival. It's okay to admit that.

I think one of the most interesting things about LSU is its lack of traditional rivalries.
Ole Miss is the closest they get but outside of that LSU is able to build itself up against whoever the big dog of the era is. Sometimes that's Florida, currently it's Alabama, shite if Alabama falls off LSU could hold Auburn, Texas, or even Georgia up as it's primary enemy.
They are free to fully hate whoever they want.

Tennessee and Auburn..thats currently it as far as Rivals.
Georgia Tech was a rival back in the day, but it got so brutal they took their ball and left the Conference.
Georgia, Florida, LSU....you folks have provided some great games through the years.. but you are not our rivals.
Just because y'all hate us doesn't mean we hate you..truthfully, we pity you

Lots of interesting rivalries that Bama has ...
Yet LSU is not one of them you people are pathetic and pussified.
Why would LSU be a rival? And why does it matter?
An LSU fan who goes to an Alabama vs LSU game in your home state is more likely to see your team get shut out than they are to get a win.
In the past decade, Ole Miss has more wins over Alabama than LSU.
I really don't know why LSU fans think there is a rivalry here honestly. I grew up being around Auburn and Tennessee fans. You know real people you interact with for lots of other things, not just internet trolls.

Not really a rivalry when we own
'pleasant valley' stadium.

I completely understand what you're saying, and you're correct about teams having multiple rivals.
But in my opinion LSU is not one of those, at least in the sense of a traditional rivalry.
Maybe this depends on the era of football you're most familiar with. I still consider Tennessee a huge rival, despite recent success. I guess if you grew up primarily under Nick Saban, it would appear differently from your perspective.
As on this site, you can find recent Wikipedia articles and media graphics online proclaiming the "Alabama/LSU rivalry." Not trying to be disrespectful to those fans who feel otherwise, I just don't personally know anyone on our side (in real life) who actually thinks this.
