What it's like to live in Alabama and be an LSU fan...

This is a response I got from a Bama fan acquaintance of mine today. He fed me the usual "awww, well Alabama beat themselves" bull#^$*, so I responded by saying

it's clear that the teams were identical on offense and defense. Everyone knew the game would come down to special teams, which it did, and guess who was better???? LSU...Boom!!

This is how he proceeds to respond...

...the teams were not identical on offense and defense. The teams had nearly identical numbers in rushing (LSU averaged 3.6 yards per rush, Alabama averaged 3.1 yards per rush) but Alabama had more than double the passing yards that LSU had. Offense goes to Alabama. On defense LSU was close to Alabama but Alabama was better. Alabama had drives stopped because of penalties that set them back and missed calls by officials. Reid's "interception" was utter garbage. Williams clearly had possession when he hit the ground. That's called a catch, not an interception. If that play hadn't been miscalled then Alabama would have a 1st down at the 1 and they'd have punched it in for a TD. Alabama also dropped two passes in the endzone that should have been TDs. LSU never got close to scoring in regulation. Alabama had what should have been 3 TDs. Therefore Alabama's defense was better. Special teams goes to LSU. No duh. Cade Foster is an awful kicker and Saban knew that. Putting him out there was a mistake.
