Had a boss in NYC who used to say almost the exact same thing. They walk in with their red jerseys on and basically announce to the team and the fans that Tiger Stadium is their house and we collectively say. "mmmmmK Mr. Alabama, you are right, sorry"

Bama has beaten almost every SEC team like a drum for 20 yrs.They have come down a notch the last 3 yrs but still have a lot of talent.LSU ain’t the Lone Ranger here.

So we compare ourselves to the Miss State's, Vandy's and Arkansas' of the world?

LSU is on a very short list of SEC teams that have at least 3 national titles in the last 50 years.

We should be better than others at this. And we aren't. We never have been. Except for a short time with Saban and early Miles.

Partial blame may be the fact that we wear our “home” white jersey. This allows them to wear their red home jerseys. I think the look works against us.


As bad as the LSU record is at home against Bama, since 1980 it's worse wearing the purple jerseys: 0-6-1.

A lot of people seem to, lately.

32 losses just since beating Clemson to win 2019.

You know how many seasons you have to go back for tOSU to have lost 32 games? I think you have to go back to Jim Tressel's last season, 2010 (unless my math is slightly off).

Has LSU had more talent than ALA the last 12 years with the exception of 2019,no they haven’t.Webeat them 2 times in the last 14 years,they were better coached and more talented.They have beaten all other SEC teams in the process ,even the last 3seasons they have won alot more than they lost.Until LK can get better quality OL,LBs,WRs,QB we will be behind.

Generally more talented overall. But I'm not so sure this year. I think we were neck and neck, but they sure looked more talented Saturday.

SEC not scheduling them as our permanent opponent was the best favor they could've done. Yeah, I said it because it's true.

I was convinced that this was finally gonna be the year the worm starts to turn. Saban’s gone. Deboar may be okay but he is damn sure no Saban. We’ve got Kiffin coming in to turn this series around.

Well, I had an epiphany Saturday evening. After bitching and griping for the last few years about Texas and Oklahoma coming in and screwing up our scheduling, depriving us of our annual games against Alabama and Florida, screw it! I’m happy that we don’t play them every year anymore.

We can’t beat them. So I’m happy for this shite to end.

They were a lot more experienced and don’t have 60 new players.And yes that does matter.

Can lsu fans just for once just say, their football program is better than our team?

They are just better than LSU, and have been since 2007 minus, 2011 and 2019.

We will break the spell, and I think it's a blessing we only play them every other year now.


No we won’t. The closest we became was when DeBoer got in, then it didn’t matter if we won or lost for a while because Saban was gone, until they beat us 3 years in a row and the hex is obviously still there.

Playing them every other season is good. I think there will be years we get further than them in the playoffs without facing them.
