Tiger fans who think Bama is so far ahead of us

Hey guess what? Despite Bama's 2 ships in past 4 years, and 3 overall in BCS era, LSU has 2 of our own.
So Bama leads us 3-2 in nat. championships in the modern era (2000 and beyond).
Bama this year is 11-2.
LSU is 10-3.
Bama over 4 years is 46-7.
LSU over 4 years is 44-9.
LSU and Bama both have one SEC championship each during that same 4 year timeframe.
And, Bama lucked into natty title game opportunity against us, which was b.s. and completely a fluke... I will always feel ripped off as an LSU fan from that year, as Bama benefitted so greatly from media obsession. It got them a rematch for sure. We go 1-1 that year v Bama, and they got the glory.
My point is one we all know, but choose to ignore because we always want to be no. 1 (which I understand).
But for our fans to unfairly degrade our head coach, and act like little p*****s about the fact that Bama has barely edged us out in success, its disheartening and upsetting.
As LSU fans, we should all feel very very lucky. I do.
Life as a tiger football fan has been good to us all.
Just to edit to add what someone else posted in this thread:
SEC records over 4 year timeframe:
Bama is 26-6 (one SEC title)
LSU is 25-7 (one SEC title)
One last edit someone else mentioned in this regard as well:
Football is a game of scheduling just as much as coaching and inches.
Lets be honest: we play a tougher SEC slate than Bama. Period.
This year only good teams Bama had to play from SEC: tx am, lsu, and aubbie. (Bama gets Kentucky)
LSU had to play tx am, bama, aubbie, and georgia.

Just to be fair, LSU didn't exactly bust the doors down to make it into that second nc game.

That's all fine and dandy, but the last couple of times we played them head to head, they embarrassed us.
So sorry if I choose to not live vicariously through Oklahoma.

That is ALL that matters in the end. Sorry but their 2 Ships vs our none in the same amount of time still does not sit well.

Lol. Obviously you don't get it dude.
Look at the records and compare. Chicken littles just drive me insane.
Its irrational. LSU fans expect a natty every year.
But in history of college football team with most natty's has 12 or so....
So, what does that tell you?

Wrong, this year they embarrassed us the second half. Last year it went to the wire. There is not as much separation between the two programs as some would want us to believe.

I love my team. Just not going to live through another team that beat the team we can't.

Man what a dominating series by bama
3-3

According to the pumpers, this little fact is irrelevant. LSU and Bama are neck and neck!!!
