Of note: It’s only since they hired a guy named Saban in 2000 that LSU has had any sustained success against Alabama. Saban and Miles have made LSU a power in a way they really never, ever were before — before then, the best they’d ever done was win two in a row vs. us (and that only 4 times since 1895).
The record on that link doesn’t really even tell the whole story of Alabama’s dominance in the sixties and seventies — during the streak of 11 wins over LSU, the Tide was also beating Tennessee every year, and lost to Auburn only once. The only other losses were singletons to Ole Miss, Georgia, and Mississippi State — one each, in 11 years.
As a friend of mine said, there’s a very good reason Bear is legendary.
That’s what made the early 21st century so huge for the Tigers. I imagine they’re as happy about their record vs. Alabama since 2000 as they are about their championships — they bagged 9 of the last 14, including 5 in a row (2003-2007) and 7 of the first 8.
BTW, there’s something you don’t often see in that video, especially outside the end of national title games: Saban smiled.
I should also point out that there are times when I think Rammer Jammer is cruel and unsportsmanlike. This is not one of those times. In DEATH VALLEY, even. Deal with it.
