9-6 game

we go undefeated that year winning the SEC against UGA while they (Bama) sits at home watching and hoping for another team to lose their conference championship so they get back in the conversation.

It felt like they were unpunished for losing at home to LSU in the era of only the two best to get to play in this game...it felt like a bye they had not earned on the feild against LSU.

The committee choose Alabama over OSU that year

Nick had a month to get them healthy, and motivated for revenge. He was too good and had too much talent in that situation.

Since that year, Alabama has won 13 of the last 15 or is it 14 of 16? meetings??????????

The new rotation will do us some good...

I am 0-7 attending LSU Bama games. It hurts

Never say never, but I will never go another LSU Bama game.

Went to t-town in 2019 after suffering through the 12, 14, 16, and 18 home games. The elation can’t be described. Havent been to once since.

All Oklahoma State had to do was make the chip shot field goal if I recall correctly. We would have demolished them

There is no such thing as a curse.

There was no committee in 2011.

Tiger stadium was Alabamas home away from home long before 2011

We’ve had plenty of talent to make it more 50/50 in the last 20 years

Now it’s in our head they are tougher to beat than they actually are

Whatever it was

The result forced many changes because nobody wanted to see that game played except Alabama fans

There is no rivalry between a hammer and nail. When you only beat your opponent 27 times in 91 tries, it's not a rivalry.

They (Gumps) don't call it Bryant-Denney West for nothing.

All these years and I've seen LSU beat Alabama just twice in person.

20-10 in 82 at Legion Field in Birmingham (GBFTL) and 30-28 in 2000 in Pre- PIM Tiger Stadium with NIck Saban the HC and Josh Booty the QB.

There kinda was. Computers only accounted for 1/3 of the rankings, human based polls and opinions were the other 2/3. Coaches Poll, Harris Interactive Poll, Computers.

It has to be somewhat psychological. We have competitive histories against both Georgia and Florida. I remember being a little kid and LSU was undefeated playing Alabama and putting Alabama was number one at the time and they destroyed us. That school has been in my head, all my life but we had a run where we played them even.

It started way before then

Ever think you're the problem? I went to 2 CWS to watch LSU and they lost both times. For the good of the team, I banned myself from going back and they've won several Nattys since. You're welcome. Sounds like you ought to give it a try.

I’ve been to 3 Bama-LSU games. Bama went 2-1. I love this series. Always loved when you guys came to Tuscaloosa. Tailgating was fun and the food was amazing. Great memories of hanging with LSU fans in The Quad. I hate the game won’t be played next season. I hate what college football is becoming.

All in the 21st Century

2000
2004
2006
2010
2022

(I saw three of those in person)

In BDR, though, we won in

1993
1997
2001
2003
2005
2007
2011
2019

That’s 8-9 over that time period. (From 1993-2011, we went 7-3 in BDR.) Many of the 9 losses were close and the losses are recent. Saban teams lost to us 3 times at home. We have a 50/50 chance of winning when we play there and they know it. They pucker up when we play at BDR.

They went 3-8 against us from 2000-the 2011 regular season game. It’s why they went apoplectic after that 9-6 loss (the second in a row to us after winning the Natty in 09). The melt after that loss was unlike anything I’ve ever seen and caused me to lose total respect for Bama as a program and fanbase. They couldn’t stand having a second straight SEC West school beat them and win the Natty over Saban (Auburn won it all in 2010).

That's total domination and unacceptable



But they had two of the greatest coaches of all time in our lifetime

so there is that!

My daughter is a cheerleader at Alabama, so we've been to many tailgates at Alabama

T town is nice, clean and pretty easy to get around town... we don't even know what traffic is in T town...

Last weekend was the first time I've been back to BR for a game since 2018 when Bama smoked LSU 0-26 against the Burrow era. Dang that was painful...but we did experience 2019! Nothing better

the people are nice at Alabama, treated my daughter with great care and concern, I have no issues with them - so my hatred isn't what it was, because my daughter has had a story book experience at Alabama- she loves it there. The friendships she has is amazing. Been to the Rosebowl, the whole nine yards...a great ride!

She has a 4.0 and already has a great job lined up...so I can't be more happy for her...

but I love LSU deeply and it hurts losing any game but losing to Alabama is different. I am just sick of seeing you guys have all the joy especially on our home feild. (stadium cleared out)...

we're not okay with it, we hated seeing Nick have all that success at Alabama..

The pain runs deep, ...some of the folk at Alabama talk a lot junk towards LSU, Lane, Miles, O, kelly, online ... and I keep waiting for the day, Alabama suffers like most fanbases have to suffer...

Your QB is a stud and you will be really good while he is there...so we don't like that either

There’s no curse - we’ve got to figure out something with Bama though

That bye week always seemed to help them more than it helped us though
