re: LSU/Bama Rivalry?

I am over the age of 22. You're trying to tell me that I have to be older to understand that Bama hates UT on the same level as AU. Other than the Fulmer incident a decade or so ago, nothing has given any indication for that to be the case. As I said, Bama fans obsess over AU far more on a daily basis, 365 days a year, than they do for UT. It's more of a one week thing for UT. It's sort of like UGA for us.. We obviously want to beat them because they are a traditional rival, but we don't concern ourselves with what they do all year long.

I have many Bama fan friends and literally none of them talk about UT in the offseason, and only discuss them on any topic during the week leading up to the game. Message boards, talk radio, and general day-to-day interaction overwhelmingly suggest that AU is on their minds more than UT. I have absolutely no doubt about that, and with you being involved in the rivalry and indicating that you know even new residents of the state must pick a side, I'm confused as to how you could reasonably come to any other conclusion.
