Alabama is back to being Alabama only because of Nick Saban...

I'm not sure why that's suppose to be an insult. Contrary to popular belief, not anyone can lead a program at a high level. That goes for any traditional program too. Why else has Texas, Southern Cal, Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and the like all went through down periods? It still takes a talented coach to use those inherent resources.

Dude, LSU in the top 10 of all time wins/programs

What rock have you been under?

No, LSU is not. It just recently rejoined the top 15 in all-time wins. Those shitty seasons in the 90s really hurt the program. LSU's 745 all-time wins rank 12th all-time.

Bama and LSU will always be a rivalry of sorts and if we both keep doing well it could get bigger. AU/Bama is probably the strongest because there are a lot of both fans in almost every Alabama city. I run into an AU fan every day and I have lots of AU friends that I rib with a lot. I don't know 4or5 true LSU FB fans so its just not that big a deal for me. But its growing.

Just like we stood no chance in "LSU's second home"?

Serve it up homey.....

First we should define what is a Rival

Per Dictionary.com it is listed below:

ri·val /'ra?v?l/ Show Spelled [rahy-vuhl] Show IPA noun, adjective, verb, -valed, -val·ing or ( especially British ) -valled, -val·ling.
noun
1. a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.
2. a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority: a stadium without a rival.
3. Obsolete . a companion in duty.

I think item #2 is the one that stands out to me making Bama/LSU not a rivalry as most fans of both schools think that we are of equal status as of late.

Another difference is that AU / UA are at war all the time for fan support, recruits and honor of representing the state. This constant struggle makes them the main school we call rivals but that status could also be placed at Tennessee as we have always recruited there very well. The rival status of Tennessee was established many years ago by the Bear and continues to this day.

No one thinks that LSU is not a tough game or one that requires great respect. It is just over the years the other two games have meant more to Bama maybe not for the future only time will tell.

You right the list I was looking at was Natl Champ Era '36-'10

Bama fans in denial?

This isn't the LSU-Alabama record since 2000. We don't add parameters just to include LSU's pertinence.
