re: The Alabama curse started after we beat them in 2011 in T town

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
The years we have beaten them, we go on and have great post seasons
think of it, we won two National titles during the Saban era of dominance while he was at Alabama
and we should have won a 3rd title while he was there...
so our run has been remarkable and it's because Nick got LSU off the mat and made us believers of what we could be as a program...
The closest thing I can remember to glory from 66 to 2000 was winning an Orange bowl against Nebraska of which we lost both of those. I am probably forgetting a few wins...but the Orange bowl back the day was considered a great acheivement.
in my lifetime, 2001, and 2003 was the beginning of the LSU golden era
4 national title games in 23 seasons...and if were not for Alabama, we would have had many more IMHO.

I’m not sure this team is capable of beating Texas and UT. But imagine the melt, if a 9-3 LSU team, has an opportunity to beat Bama, in a playoff game rematch.

believe you me, I have thought about it!
I'd love another shot at this point, becaue it would mean we are in the playoff where anything can happen

Your user name is ApexTiger, is that Apex NC by chance? I’m in Concord, NC.
If they end up pulling off the miraculous and meet Bama in the playoffs, where is the watch party?

ApexTiger, I feel your pain.
Fun fact :
Alabama, the defending NC, and riding a 31 game winning streak, was playing at home, Bryant -Denny Stadium. This team lost to a 5-6 LSU team 17-13. That LSU team was coached by a legendary Coach, that QB Whispered Bret Favre. That coach was none other than CURLY HALLMAN.
LSU, had lost to Florida by the record setting, 58-3. That LSU team had the top hs running backs from La,Texas, Ala, and Ga.
My guess is that we pissed off the Bear, and his unbearables.

I got one - made a Herculean effort to attend the 2010 game - so glad (once in a lifetime, it seems).

- I halfway thought about going to that game (I had a single student ticket), but I didn't feel well, overslept and by the time I ate something, it was about 2pm. So, I did watch a couple of other games. I think I even fell asleep again and didn't tune in until after halftime.
Clowny Hallman at his peak.
(In hindsight it seems Hallman's worst and best games as head coach of LSU were 4 weeks apart.)

There is no curse.
It may seem like Karr High School could beat LSU if they put on Alabama's uniforms but it's not the psyche of the team or a curse. Alabama is still a mature program. DeBoer inherited a Saban roster and is in year three of his program. He's like a nepo-baby inheriting some wealth.
Meanwhile Kiffin is in year one, inheriting the skeleton of a Brian Kelly roster. Kelly was never great at roster management. In fact, he sucked at it. Kiffin brought in some talent but it has some holes, plus we lost some key pieces from injury. 9-3 was likely always the ceiling for this team and, with Leavitt, 7-5 was the floor.

LSU has won exactly 9 home games vs Alabama since the first season that the forward pass was legal, and that year was 1906.
There's no point in debating or analyzing about it. Just move on.
9 wins
30 losses
3 ties
at home vs Bama since 1906
Place the energy and focus elsewhere.

WRONG! From 71-99 Bama won every game in BR.

I mainly referring to the era 2000 to present of when LSU expects to win these home games, not hope to win them

Saturday was my 47th straight Alabama-LSU regular season game. Maybe it was getting home at 1:30 Sunday morning but this one sucked the life out of me. Our team just looked so discombobulated and Alabama seemed so "workman" like. For any other "old guy" this one reminded me of the 1987 game with them.
Such a let down. But as "the curse" goes, 2019 and 2022 were sweet.

What’s crazy is that Brian Kelly was the only one to win at home against Alabama since 2010. Unbelievable.

Bama over their history has had the best coaches in college FB history,starting in the 30s.Between Bear and Nick that’s about 40 years of excellence.No one else in the SEC has been that consistent with great coaches.LSU in the late 50s for about 4 years, late 60s,69-73,Nick at LSU 2003 and Les 2005 -2007,2011 ,O 2019 that s it.Other programs have had a few runs but none have been consistent over as long a period of time as ALA.GREAT COACHES MAKE GREAT TEAMS and they have had that horseshoe more than most.They are still a very good to great program with a very good coach .
