It makes the LSU Bama game the year before in 2019 that much more impressive.
2020 season will always have an asterisk.

The absolute worst thing that could have happened to LSU fans in the wake of their 2019 national championship was 1) for their program to fall apart and 2) to see Alabama win the very next national championship. And that is exactly what happened.
I couldn’t give two shits myself - my argument is 2019 is the goat and they are.
Nothing will change that especially a covid season

Look, those games were every bit as hard as we typically find traveling to LSU.

As hard as 2022 in Baton Rouge?

The all SEC schedule would've meant more had they played in at least half full stadiums.
Several of Ohio State's key players were ruled out due to covid while miraculously ZERO bama players EVER tested positive Covid (but Saban did prob on a bye week).
Things that make you go hmmmmmmm

So...give me some serious, non-trolling arguments here. What's your problem with that title being...a title?
7 of their opponents had a 0.500 or worse record.
They played Florida in the SEC championship. We know how poor Florida has been over the last 10 years so that says a lot about how awkward the season was.
They played Notre Dame in the semifinal. Notre Dame were beat 34-10 by Clemson in the ACC championship game. Notre Dame still made the playoffs.
Ohio state played 8 games the whole season including the national championship game. They went 5-0 in the big 10 regular season, and won the big 10 championship.
The season was a joke.

Games played in half empty stadiums, opt-outs and Ohio State was a six win team at the end of the day. To be honest I have no beef with calling it a legit championship. A season was played and they were clearly the best team of the season. My issue is when these Bammers try to elevate them into the greatest team ever discussions. Winning the title against a six win team is some 19th century BS

Because it wasn't my school that won it. I guarantee you that everyone who claims it's not a real Natty are fans of other schools, too. If my school (Auburn) had finished 13-0 with an all-SEC schedule, won the SEC championship game convincingly, made the 4-team playoffs, won both of those playoff games and hoisted that National Championship trophy, then you best believe I would be counting it as a real Natty and talking shite to anyone who doubts it.
That's why I find it so crazy that alot of our fans will absolutely stand behind our claim of 9 Natty's but in the same breath they'll say Bama's 2020 Natty doesn't count. Hell, I know Auburn fans who say that Bama's 2011 and 2017 Natty's also don't count because they didn't even win the SEC West those 2 years.
Like I said, if you take the name "Alabama" off of the 2020 national championship trophy and put your favorite school's name on it, you all would absolutely claim that Natty. We all would if it was our school. That's part of being a fan.

Saban missed the Iron Bowl that season because he had Covid. Sark had to coach the team in that Iron Bowl.

No problem here. Roll Tide 2020.

So not like 2010, 2006, 2004, or 2000?

It was an impressive win but it's not like Alabama has ever been known for its "home field advantage." There are many more stadiums in the SEC more infamous for their crowd noise than Bryant-Denny.

Any 100,000 fans will be louder than the 22k fans in Tiger Stadium in 2020 for Bama game that forgettable season.

It's not like crowd noise has ever had much of an effect on Alabama in Tiger Stadium. Three of the last four games in the series that were played in Baton Rouge have been blow outs.

This thread has nothing to do with them being the greatest ever. You are having a very long winded conversation, mainly with yourself, about a completely different subject than what we are discussing.
Obviously not since you keep commenting on it. You need my attention for some reason. You can call your girl in here and watch me make her cum since you seem the type. Thanks cuck

The LSU fans somehow overlook that Bama didn't benefit from a home field advantage at BDS

If you really don’t see the difference between playing against a team in the SEC with 100,000 screaming fans vs 10,000 I don’t know what to tell you. Other than that you probably don’t understand the subtleties of the game.
