re: Who Would be hated more?

You only think that because Auburn blew arse this year. Just 24 months ago a Gump was poisoning their trees because he hated them so much.

I won't argue that Auburn's poor record plays a part. Likewise, you would have much less animosity towards Saban if he were falling on his face. Regarding the idiot who poisoned the trees, I think everyone has idiot fans. Many "Gumps" also volunteered to help save the trees. Many "Barners" helped in Tuscaloosa after the tornado. Heck, my wife is Auburn faculty. I just don't see how "grown men" can hate people over a game.

Friend, Auburn is not our big rivalry anymore. It's LSU. I love CFB, but I don't hate anyone. These are kids playing a game. It's coaches training kids to play the game. I can be filled with envy towards another program, but not hatred. I reserve that for people trying to take down my country.

I won't change my tune. I'm grateful that Saban rebuilt our program. I fully expect him to end up at Texas. He would likely be able to feed his ego with a MNC at three schools. I will be disappointed, but still appreciative. He has been a real asset to UA.

I don't know why you would hate either of them. One rebuilt your program and gave you a NC; the other maintained your program and gave you a NC. I understand being disappointed, but the hatred is beyond me.
I don't think Notre Dame will get past USC. Furthermore, Georgia is playing better ball than Bama. This thing is not even close to being over.

for the record...I thought Bama would beat LSU all along. BECAUSE yes thy are the better team......that's why LSU isn't ranked #1. Sadly..My Black bears will never be ranked, but that's ok...been playing much better this year than the past few years , so who knows...maybe Les will make a few mistakes and let us score a few TD's this year!!

I've been very impressed with how quickly the Ole Miss program has turned around. Put aTm in that category, too. The way things are going, nobody is gonna have an easy week in the West.
Nope. Not sensitive at all. Just like challenging blatant hypocrisy.

Having trouble with the quote from LSU that "florida is the better team"
Show me. Show me one quote from any LSU player that said "Florida is a better team than LSU". They beat you this year, so that should be easy to find. Think I can find some quotes suggesting LSU "had a bad game"?
quote:

But getting to my post, don't you agree? You can't tell me you weren't nervous in that last game.

You are right. I can't tell you that I wasn't nervous. I'm nervous every time we play LSU. Becuase LSU is a very good team. I especially get nervous playing at death valley in a night game. If you think Bama doesn't respect LSU you are mistaken. I'm sure some Homers have come on your board and smack talked. Guess what, LSU fans do the exact same thing. That has nothing to do with the general fan base. The entire country knows LSU is a national contender pretty much every year. Each year LSU preps for the big game with Bama. Bama preps for the big game with LSU. You are incorrect if you think Bama feels untouchable. That would be ridiculous. Have you looked at the point spread over the last several games? Anyway, I'm to old to "hate" at ball team. I'll just respect a good football team and leave it at that.
I don't think stating that "we are a threat" is over the top. You are reading way to much into that. I'm simply stating people hate the team that is a threat to their own success. Everyone hated Spurrier when he dominated with Florida. It's natural. I frankly don't care if you hate Bama. I know you are anxious about playing us each year. We are anxious about playing you, too. In recent years we have been each others Nemesis. So, by all means, hate away. But when you hate another team so much that you would sacrifice your own teams success, you have real issues. That is what I was trying to say.
quote:

I prefer LSU not going to any bowl game over Bama playing in NC

This is some seriously messed up thinking. You actually hate another team more than you love your own. I get the whole "hate Bama" thing. Because Bama is a threat. You used to "hate Auburn". I get it. Teams hate the team that beats them. But you are waaaay over the top with your thinking.
quote:

I'm not hyped up at all, actually. Just pointing out that a Miles coached LSU team can (and does) beat a Saban coached Bama team...and they are always evenly matched. Read whatever you want into that.

I wish it weren't so, but you are right about being evenly matched. IMHO that's the reason for the hatred that's blooming between the two programs. Every year, both teams know the biggest obstacle to an MNC is this game. Based on the quality of coaches among our traditional rivals, I see this becoming THE game to win each year. To me, Miles seems like an idiot. However, I've concluded that his idiotic persona brilliantly disguises his genius. If you lose Miles, you will not find one better.
Exactly. People like to give hell to Miles for the trick plays. A stupid trick play becomes a brilliant offensive move if it's successful.
