The reason LSU and Auburn have such a highly competitive game every year is because LSU and Auburn are almost mirror images of each other. Both of want to be better than Bama, just as much as the Red Sox want to be better than the Yankees. We aren't.
that is bullshite! Yea, maybe the past 2 years bama has been better than us, but we have definently been the better team this decade! Bullshite comparison too!

Again, LSU shouldn't brag too much about beating Bama in the 2000s. A lot of SEC teams beat Bama in the 2000s.
Again, 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.
And now we face a one loss Bama team that won the national title last year and has one regular season SEC loss in the last 3 years.
If we fail to beat them this year, we'll just be repeating the history I illustrated above. Want to be an elite team, you've got to beat elite teams when they're good. Beating a 3-6 Bama team made us feel good and gave the fans an excuse to storm the field, but it proved nothing in a season when everybody else beat Bama.

His LSU & Auburn comparison seem accurate.
LSU vs. Bama: 23-45-5
Auburn vs. Bama: 33-40-1
