re: In terms of the fanbase's hatred, is Bama on the level of USC circa 2003?

I never hated USC. We don't play them. We don't recruit against them that much except for a few big names. Yes they cheat. Yes they got some media attention that was annoying. Yes the AP gave them a trophy that doesn't matter. Who cares?

I told people then that the media suckfest for USC was nothing compared to what it is when Bama is good. Now you see it. We play Bama every single season in all sports. We recruit against them for a majority of our players. I hate them more than any team and have for my entire life. Go to a game once in Tuscaloosa and you'll see why. In no way should any LSU fan ever hate USC more. But again, our fans are some of the dumbest in the world and this thread is proof.
