re: The "you already lost to LSU" argument

Bama fans still amaze me somehow. This board is like a car wreck, just can't stop watching. I love the fact that y'all can still come here, call out LSU fans, assume you are the better team (even though you lost to LSU in the biggest game that Bryant-Denny has ever held), then become cocky AGAIN thinking you deserve another shot, and that you will win. I for one, HOPE that we get to play you again. One thing that you need to realize is that, Bama was playing WAY over their heads in that game. LSU is the far superior team and it will show. This would be our home game, and no way we lose in New Orleans. After we win, you will soon realize Saban is not the god you portray him to be. We will have won 3 straight, and we can hopefully stop hearing the bitching and moaning about Bama being the better team.

Ask UGA how that worked out for them while they sat at home not winning their division. Christ you people are retarded.

Why you so mad?

GA didn't get voted in, simple. Every year 118 teams do not get voted in. This year Bama will, again simple.

LSU actually had two first and goals. Alabama had neither. LSU dropped a td pass before halftime and had to kick a field goal on 3rd down.

Hang in there, Arty.

Yep. 4 missed field goals and we lost by 3. That says a lot. Corndogs only got close twice.

So 50 yard field goals are now close?

Who's dancing around it? Of course LSU would be #2 right now. What's the point?

The point is that this entire website is loaded with thread after thread and post after post about how Alabama has no business playing in the BCS Title game because they already lost to the #1 team. These posts are also ripping Alabama fans as being "delusional" for trying to point out why they are #2 and why they think they deserve that spot over Okie State. I'm turning it around and showing that LSU would be in the EXACT SAME POSITION AS ALABAMA and therefore all the temper tantrums being thrown by LSU fans seem kind of silly given that Alabama would be going through the exact same disadvantages had they beaten LSU. LSU fans are convinced the college football world is there to kiss Alabama's a## when they would be getting the same treatment if the roles between LSU and Bama were reversed. I'm sure Alabama fans would be throwing the same kind of tantrums if the roles were reversed and we had to beat Arky and play an extra game to get in the title game but I guess we'll never know.

I'll be happy to take another loss to LSU if that's the way it plays out. It will prove to me they're the better team.

---

Oh well thank god it will prove it to you. Bama fans didn't respect the result the first time, I have no reason to believe they will respect the result the second time.

Right now, I'm happy that the SEC is sticking it to all the other conferences.

This.

How many BS championships do yall claim?

How many of those "BS" championships were you alive for, and why were they BS? How many BS championships have we claimed since there was an official system in place?

There are another voters out there that lack intergrity that will vote against Alabama just for spite.

---

Sure there will be some. Some because you are Bama; some because you are in the SEC.

this is what may end up snubbing Alabama.

Seriously? You think there will be enough of the above to be the difference? You want to call it "integrity"? Since when is voting for anything in which the criteria upon which the voter is not bound to any rules and get very little in guidelines for voting, being left to decide on his or her own, a matter of "integrity"? There is a multitude of perspectives voters may use to determine their vote and YES, biases will play into the vote as in EVERY voting scenario no matter what the vote is about.

Do LSU fans think they would NOT be #2 in the BCS right now if they had lost in overtime on November 5th?

---

This is not objective IF you are using it as criteria for this:

Your honest objective answer to that question will reveal your true feelings about where Alabama currently stands in the BCS standings.

---

That is fishing with an ulterior, though admitted, motive.

Though I will play along.

I truly have difficulty determining where LSU would be right now were we the losers of the Nov 5 game, though my hunch is we would be in the same position Bama is in RIGHT NOW, all other things being the same. HOWEVER, I do believe things would change more heavily AGAINST LSU after this upcoming weekend IF we were in 2nd going into the weekend. LSU would likely not be getting the media lovefest to the degree Bama is NOT BECAUSE OF THE RANTARD MANTRA "MEDIA HATES LSU". It would be for the same reason Bama is getting the favorable treatment they are currently getting: There was a strong pre-season sentiment favoring Bama and sports media types hang on to biases to prove themselves correct as long as possible....ego. That's it. There would be a much more solid chance of Okie St leaping over LSU after this weekend than there is of Okie St leaping Bama.

So, I answered your Bama aspect of the question for you.

Bless your heart. I hope no other Tide fan does an i.p. trace on your posts.
