What are your thoughts on the development of this rivalry? Things have obviously escalated, and the level of hate felt on the campuses of both schools for the other is pretty impressive.

We're now playing Alabama for the first all-SEC National Championship -- and it's a rematch of the alleged "Game of the Century" that saw unprecedented hype.

My questions are these: does the rivalry take on a more "tangible" feel after this year? Will it be something that lasts past the current set of coaches (i.e. will we care as much after Saban is gone)? Does LSU finally have a "real" rival?

Prefer to have teams we respect as rivals, not whiners.

I didn't disclose my opinion on the matter. It was a question. I suppose whatever makes you feel better about yourself...

I don't think we'll displace the Iron Bowl (although we will probably be more competitive than Newton-less Auburn for the next few decades). But I'm curious to see where Alabama/LSU might end up in the Pantheon of CFB Rivalries.

Alabama fans don't really view us as hated rivals. That's Auburn. We don't have a hated in state rival so we kinda shift around.

The LSU vs Alabama match up in the last several years and now culminating into the BCS NC is going to be a thing of College football legen.

Thats because he would prefer it stay Auburn who blows through more cocks than Perdue Chicken company.

He doesn't want competition to be there in his rivalry. Gumps can take their rivalries and shove them in their checkered hats cuz we will take the national championship over some overhyped BS rivalry that means jack and shite.

Believe me, I'm aware. I usually hate these rivalry discussions, because I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand that we really don't have one.

But like you said:

If this isn't the stuff rivalries are made of, what is?

I don't see any Bama fans starting these "can we be your rivals" threads. But I've seen several from LSU fans. I just find it quite odd.

Last I checked, Mike is still kicking, so I'd say that while all things Alabama are still hated and should be kicked in the tooth, we don't have a rivalry.

We, like everyone else, just have a seething hatred for The University of the Damned. It's a primal thing. You know, like instinctively knowing to stay as far away from a pile of shite as possible.

It's hard to be rivals with someone you don't respect on any level.

LSU/Texas A&M rivalry would be a good place to start

This isn't one of them. I think you're capable of reasoned discussion, so why don't you explain why you feel the way you do rather than flaming?

In the last 12 meetings, LSU has a 9-3 record over Bama, including Miles with a winning record over Saban. I think in order for it to be a rivalry, it has to be competitive.

Oh, get out of here, don't flatter yourself. LSU has been doing just fine without a 'true' rival. You guys are just another roadblock on our way to another National Title. We don't care any more or less about you than that. (the O.P. and whoever else you claim to be begging you to be our rivals notwithstanding. )

I personally think its GAY. I would rather be the sleeper, or play spoiler every year that Bama has to get up for.

We Win in New Orleans BOOK IT and then in Baton Rouge Next Year! 3-0 against Bama in one Year! PRICELESS!
