Anyone doubting how difficult the environment was, should look at 2008 Alabama-LSU


That LSU team was terrible, and the eventual 12-0 Alabama team needed OT to win.

We took their best shot and did not give them ours and were still a badly thrown ball away from having a chance to tie

That was almost 20 years ago and has nothing to do with this loss.

Saban did not have the roster that ole piss has nor a qb like Chambliss who is really good

Lane isn't even close to being another Nick Saban. It's a nice dream though and thanks for sharing.

Kiffin is no Saban…and Saban would be the first to tell you that.

Holy shite, again y'all are overthinking this whole thing. All I am saying is that Ole Miss beating us this 1 time does not matter because we will dominate them from here on out. That is similar to what happened when we beat Saban in 07 and then he won like 12 of the next 15 meetings between us or whatever it was. I'm not comparing Saban to Lane. I'm not comparing our roster to 07 Bama.

Unless Chambliss gets a seventh year. It will appear as if Ole Miss jumped off a cliff.

Saban didn’t have a $50m roster bro.


If you don't think Saban had expensive rosters back then, you're delusional.
Believe me.....there was always a lot of money spent on their rosters each year....it just wasn't public knowledge.
Happened everywhere....including at LSU.
You're naive if you think otherwise.
