Was talking to my best friend today who just happens to be an Alabama fan. He said, "you guys are always gunning for us." I had to correct him by telling him that since 2000, ya'll have been gunning for US.

Take any time period you want since Paul Bryant last coached at Alabama in 1982, and LSU is the better program. Obviously over the past 5 years, but let's break it down a little further:

In the last 10 years, LSU has 3 SEC Championships, 2 National Championships and 4 SEC West Championships. AND holds a 7-3 advantage in the series with Alabama. Bama has 1 SEC Championship and 1 SEC West Championship.

In the last 25 years, LSU has 3 more SEC Championships for a total of 6, while Alabama has only 3 SEC Championships, along with 5 SEC West Championships and 1 National Championship. And the series record is tied, 12-12-1.

Folks, we're the better program. We're the ones that they are gunning for. We are what they wish they were, but just are not anymore.

We have won 5 in a row over them, and 7 of the last 8, so let's act like it on Saturday!!

LSU's favorable history is very "brief."

You should poll the rest of the country to see who garners more respect.

When people talk about the top 5 - or so - programs of all time, LSU is never mentioned.

That's true. Alabama is a better program over the history of all time.

Paul Bryant was a great coach.

But I'm talking about recent history.

And the fact is that LSU is definitely a TOP TEN program of all time.

But if you flip that and look at the last quarter century, LSU is still a TOP TEN program, while Alabama is just another nice place to play football.

Stop right there, idiot. Polling to determine "top" programs is essentially a win/loss formula. It has nothing to do with respect.

I would definitely disagree that LSU is a top 10 all-time program.

The overall record against Bama is enough to disprove that theory.

Just shows that you are not aware of the rest of the world of college football outside of Tuscaloosa.

The cold hard facts. Brought to you from somewhere other than the Tuscaloosa Daily News.

You can cling to ancient history all you want - the facts are that Bama is no longer a top respected program. They are respected by the country like Florida State, Miami and Michegan are respected. After Saturday, the myth of Saban will be forever lost and you can slink back to the Capstone to dream about what it must be like to dominate another team for 6 years in a row (like LSU has beaten Bama 6 years in a row).

I guess being #1 in all polls is a definite sign of no respect...haha...you corndogs need to get your heads out of Miles' arse and accept that the golden era of LSU football was short and is over.

Rather, I've accepted that you're some dickweed, fair-weather fan who hasn't posted on this board until the week before 'Bama, sitting @ #1 in the polls, is set to visit Death Valley. Methinks your tenure here is going to be short & soon to be over.

Yep, just like every other SEC program...You all took turns kicking us when we were down. But you have to face facts...The sleeping giant has been awakened and theres NOTHING you can do about it.

Furthermore, your most recent NC was pretty much handed to you on a silver platter. Do you REALLY enjoy being an 11-2 national champ? Thats like winning by default. And lets be honest...Had it not been for just pure luck when your IDIOT coach threw for the end zone against AU because he thought there was more time on the clock, you would've lost that game. Had it not been for a JPW fumble late in last years game, BAMA wouldve beat you.

And heres a little more history for you

LSU is 1-4 all time in Tiger stadium against number one teams

And lets not forget this gleaming FACT...

Bama leads the series by a DOMINATING margin of 42-22-5

That means that no matter what the outcome of Saturdays game is...You'll STILL BE BAMAS BITCH.

I don't believe that the golden era of LSU football is over.

But even at that, the last 7 years of LSU football has produced just as many championships as the last 26 of Alabama.

Wow. Bet you didn't see that coming.

And yet you STILL have so far to go before you even scratch the surface of what we've accomplished.

Good lord, but the figs are out & about here a few days leading up to kickoff! Lots of shite being talked by the 'Bama fans, but only with the security blanket of a #1 ranking! Figures that none of you cocksmokes were on here previously.

Say what you want, but y'all are really just a bunch of pussies.

Again, the rules have changed in the SEC.

Over the last 27 years, the series is 13-13-1.

And please get the facts straight, Alabama leads the series 43-23-5.

Given current NCAA rules & guidelines, we probably never will!

Its funny how fans like you just love to conveniently decide what the starting point of history is. "Oh, hey lets start counting at the point where Alabama no longer owns our asses".

What a fuggin joke.
