Anyway, I think Florida was still third to last on there at the time Spurrier took over as coach. Forget about QB.
laughable when Florida fans act like they are some kind of historic power
Us older fans know we are new money.

Well done CNB. It is what it is.

They have a winning record over a lot schools including Auburn. We’ve played them 40 times most were before 1950.

LSU did this with F. King Alexander and he's tried to destroy our athletics from the inside for years.
Thankfully we now have strong willed folks on the good side like Will Wade and Scott Woodward that will break Alexander.

Alabama did this too with Andrew Sorensen. Fortunately he’s long gone now.
For as much credit as Nick Saban rightfully gets for our success over the past decade plus, Robert Witt deserves just as much credit. He was smart enough to realize that Alabama football is a gold mine to the school, but you have to put money into it first in order to prime the pump. Dr. Denny has his name on the stadium along with Bryant for a reason. Dr. Witt deserves that same level of memorialization at some point. He didn’t just revitalize the school, he completely transformed it.

Right. The University of Alabama, not just athletics, have benefited in a massive way from the football program's resurgence. Donations are way up, applications are way up thus allowing admission standards to be raised, etc.
Bama also has done a great job in the last 15 years of branding. LSU is finally starting to do that in a consistent way. That helps the university a ton.
I've made this argument 100 times for LSU. We are in a budget crisis on the Academic side and one way to fight that is invest in football and basketball as much as we can and maintain a consistent brand.
We're getting there.

General Neyland went a long way towards that, plus Alabama pre-Saban / post-Stallings was a rough time.
Yeah, I know it's fun and all to make fun of UT for the last 10+ years but people forget the history of that program. When people think of all-time college blue bloods you always hear Bama, ND, So. Cal, Michigan, Oklahoma, etc. You never hear UT come up even though they were in top 10 in all-time wins for a long time, right? I think they still might be even.
Hell, there first ever losing season wasn't until 2005 right? They've still only ever had 1 8-loss season.

They've had a lot of losing seasons before 2005, but the lack of 8 loss seasons was something they used to hang their hat on.

Awesome. Looking forward to passing UT in five or six years.
Posted on 10/17/19 at 11:11 am to LSU Tigerhead
That's cool as hell.

Wow...this is the most damning visualization I've seen of how our administration's de-emphasis on athletics during the 1980's-1990's set our program back to where it is.

This is what a lot of people don't seem to grasp about the Bama/UT rivalry. Yes, UT has fallen off. But, rivalries aren't based on recency bias. It was still a big rivalry in Bama's down years too.
Bama/auburn, Ohio State/ Michigan, Duke/unc etc etc. Those games have people from all over watching
Bama/Ut isn’t a blip on others radars anymore, it’s dead. It’s fine if the game means a lot to you still, but it doesn’t mean anything to the nation
Posted on 10/17/19 at 11:25 am to LSU Tigerhead
Outstanding. Have an up vote. Post of the week in fact

That doesn't define how great a rivalry is.

The amount of people from outside that do or don't watch has no bearing on the intensity of those involved. Something can be a great rivalry even if no one from the outside even knows about it.

Yea, we did that too... John White... One of our best Chancellors ever as far as fund raising and advancing academics but he tanked our entire athletics program and we are still in that hole for the most part (before his tenure we were a track powerhouse and rapidly becoming a top tier basketball school, football had already started to fall apart but he pushed it further down...now at best we are a baseball school).

Awesome! Looks like a good Big 6.
