re: In terms of the fanbase's hatred, is Bama on the level of USC circa 2003?

i don't know how old you are but i've hated bama for 50 years. hate. we've only played usc once that i can remember. yea, they, aided by the big 10, screwed the '03 team by openly lobbying for a "split" NC. bama is our nemisis. fact. w/0 bama LSU would have more, maybe several more NC's. they have some great teams but even when they on't they get the breaks or just claim the damn NC. the assholes. if ST. Peter is a bama fan i'm in trouble.
