LSU needs a total reset vs Alabama. Next season and beyond.

How many seasons in a row have we had to play Alabama coming off a bye week?
95% of the time, our season comes down to winning this game. Which always makes our players and staff blow it out of proportion mentally.
For years LSU was basically locked in a cage (SEC West) with Saban and Bama. They cut off our access to the SEC championship and therefore the playoffs.
I think a few seasons of not playing this crazy hyped game in November will help the program get out of this do or die mentality every season.
TLDR: Unusual position for LSU the past 20 years of having to play Alabama off a bye in late November for all the marbles… its warped our ability to play the game normally.

We don’t play Bama next year. Or the year after.

Take a break from the matchup for a few seasons will probably help break this cycle.
And when we play them again hopefully its in September of october and not after a bye

Hopefully in 3 years when we finally face them again the 2 programs are in totally different places and we won’t be their bitch anymore
Maybe wishful thinking but I can hope

We play Alabama there in ‘28. We’ll now play them every other year, not every 3 years.

I mean. Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy a season for once without worrying about them?
1 team deciding our fate every year is abnormal.
I can’t name another team in the country that has that problem except for Auburn.
As a fan I just want a break from it for a little while.
