re: LSU has something bama doesn't. . . .

LSU has only played Bama in BD 17 times. We played Bama a lot at home early in the series and up until the 80's vast majority of the time in B'ham, Mobile or Montgomery.

In fact LSU only played Bama in Tuscaloosa two times before 1988; 1980 and 1947 and lost both. Technically, Bryant Denny was just Denny stadium until 1975. Since 1988 LSU is 8-7 vs Bama in BD, overall 8-9 in Tuscaloosa. Since technically it was not Bryant Denny until the 70's LSU has only played 16 times in a venue called Bryant-Denny. So we would be 8-8 in Bryant-Denny, 8-9 in Tuscaloosa:).

Thank you for explaining that to him. It's a technicality, but the stadium wasn't named Bryant-Denny until 1975. LSU did play some other games in Tuscaloosa in the 20s, but it was at a different location.

Also, since Bama started exclusively playing their home games in the series at Bryant-Denny, LSU has a winning edge by 1 game. The overall point though was that Bama has not fared very well at Bryant-Denny. LSU also gave Bama their worst loss by margin of defeat there ever and snapped the longest unbeaten streak they've ever had in program history (31 games) there.
