This pretty much sums it up. LSU will remain a second rate power in CFB compared to Saban led Alabama. If only Saban had not bolted for the NFL, could you imagine the dynasty he would have built here?

He wouldn't still be here. His ego demands that he be a long-term coach at a historic program like Bama. He is the best coach in the game right now bar none and I think he finds the idea of retiring at Bama and being possibly mentioned one day in the same breath as Bear Bryant attractive and fitting for his legacy. Bama will be the hurdle you have to jump over to win it all in the SEC as long as he stays in Tuscaloosa. That said, I think we beat them in Baton Rouge next year and I think LSU has a very good chance to make the title game again. This time against USC in the Orange Bowl BCS game.

It's not just him - it's the over the top fanaticism in that area. They will always devote more $ and energy to ensuring they are a good college football team. We put more than most into that but nothing like Bama. They absolutely mortgage all else to be good so it's hard to compete overall.

The fact that we'll still win some titles is nice but I'm actually learning to embrace the idea that we have other priorities in our fanbase and region.
