re: Reality Check: LSU has never been an elite SEC program

We beat Bama 7 out of the last ten years

Let's review those 10 seasons from Bama's perspective:

2000: 3-8 (lost to LSU)
2001: 7-5 (lost to LSU)
2002: 10-3 (beat LSU 31-0)
2003: 4-9 (lost to LSU)
2004: 6-6 (lost to LSU)
2005: 10-2 (lost to LSU)
2006: 6-7 (lost to LSU)
2007: 7-6 (lost to LSU)
2008: 12-2 (beat LSU)
2009: 14-0 (beat LSU)

All but one year (2005), when LSU beat Bama they were mediocre or just downright awful.

So let's be fair. For much of the 2000s, a LOT of teams beat Bama. LSU's wins over Bama in the 2000s aren't as special as we like to make them out to be.
