God it's so funny how badly this has rustled people

philly444•81 months

Woohoo another moral victory!

Pavoloco83•81 months

So the entire NFL smells like corndogs? Really?

saint tiger225•81 months

Oh em gee, u r like totes hilarious!

Laman1978•81 months

Getting sick of that racist nickname.

AU4real35•81 months

LSU's just dying to have bama recognize them. It's so pitiful.

The Mad Fratter•81 months

so multiple bama players the past couple months saying the LSU game is what they circle on the calender every year isnt recognizing them? Your jealousy of an actual top tier program is showing

olgoi khorkhoi•81 months

As an LSU fan, I am embarrassed that this quote is front page news on an LSU site.

GoldenBoy•81 months

It's ok. One day you'll understand football.

olgoi khorkhoi•81 months

one day I'll understand this little brother syndrome that has developed where grown men crave the slightest bit of attention from anyone associated with Alabama? Doubt it.

whiteside•81 months

Hey Olgoi, you may not realize this, but LSU is far and above Bama's toughest competition. And Bama is recognized as the best team every year - whether they win or not. They are always loaded and coached by the best coach in college football - ever. It is what it is. Take it as a compliment.

Lexman1•81 months

He speaks the truth. The Tigers are the best team in the SEC besides Bama and the gap isn't that wide. Everyone focuses on the 6 game losing streak by Miles teams. But seriously, other than Ole Miss, who else has long losing streaks to Bama? Everyone! And we have to play them every year! So, thanks for the recognition OJ, and I can't wait for this years game! Tiger Bait!

But we end up losing a lot of games to teams other than Alabama. That's a big part of the problem.

jmarto1•81 months

Alabama is definitely the better team but I laugh when fans don't tip their hat towards us. LSU is probably the team that has the best chance to consistently beat them

thatdude1985•81 months

sure as hell haven't showed it.

Placebeaux•81 months

Well bless his heart

SamuelClemens•81 months

You can tell who they practice hardest to play.

oneg8rh8r•81 months

The compliments don't get much better than that.

mattdelaney15•81 months

Thanks OJ Howard's, great comments. Yes LSU needs a strong Oline to beat Bama.... sportsguychat.com

Datbayoubengal•81 months

LSU needs a creative offense and better passing game more. LSU has a decent OL just about every year. There is a reason why Ole Miss (x2), Auburn, Ohio St, Clemson, TAMU and Oklahoma have beaten Bama over the last several years, and it ain't OL.

beauchristopher•81 months

Great compliment! Appreciate it OJ Howard..

zappgator•81 months

Bama fans refuse to recognize LSU as a rival, but this speaks volumes as to the respect the Bama players have for LSU. Hopefully, we can put some more W's up there with a more creative offensive coordinator, and good quarterback play. Geaux Tigers!

kennesawlsu•81 months

What he's saying is that the level of talent is equal and very physical, gimmick/trick plays and spread formations won't work 95% of the time.#Auburn#Ole cheats

ToppDogg85•81 months

Really

Datbayoubengal•81 months

You retard he's talking about our defensive play. Our offense is pretty much the worst one they see every single year. They only lose to spread offenses and spread QBs. But please continue to believe in the bullshite that is a pro style offense in college. shite doesn't work against Bama.

luciouslou•81 months

people love to come up with a million reasons why Bama has beaten us. the TRUTH is there is only one reason. Quarterback Play! Period

blueboxer1119•81 months

Nick Saban says hello.

olgoi khorkhoi•81 months

And it's no coincidence that the QBs don't play well when the Alabama Dline dominates the LSU Oline.

This speaks loudly to execution over the past few years. Alabama and LSU are pretty evenly matched, and trained, but Bama has out-executed the Tigers in recent years and there is now a very apparent disparity between the two programs. It is better for college football when that gap is closed, which I hope it can be.

Whynotme•81 months

Im sure he meant to say thatvthe NFL defenses is like playing LSU defense every week.

ready4something•81 months

LOL. They have won 6 in a row, against LSU. He shoulda said Ole Miss/Miss State or Auburn. At least they beat them once in the last 6 tries. But this year is our year.....I hope..geaux tigers.....

cheesesteak501•81 months

We're better than ole miss and miss state

Azkiger•81 months

That's what I'm talking about, PRINT THEM SHIRTS BOYS!

KennabraTiger•81 months

Baws*

GoRuckTiger•81 months

No shame in losing to Bama. They've just been better the last few times we've played them. But the quote from Howard let's me know that LSU is highly respected and never taken lightly by the Alabama team and coaches.
