But his best thing was ending 6 years of losing seasons at LSU---can you imagine how hard it is to lose 6 years in a row at LSU???

it was alot of not fun, i can tell you. thankfully, skip was just starting to rev up the program as the football team entered the dark ages. baseball a pale, pale substitute for football, but it was nice to have something to fall back on. skip won 5 c'ships between the bookends of lsu's last/next top-10 football teams ['87/'01].

LSU has no arch enemies...Alabama has arch enemies...and there name is Auburn. Only in LSU's mind is this a heated rivalry.

there is some truth to this sentiment. tulane WAS a heated rival, but lost the rivalry when they never won anymore--'bama has won all of 3 games with the tigers since 2000. if you hardly ever win, it does cause some heat loss. and should 'bama lose monday, it'll essentially lead to another 4-in-a-row for lsu, as a 'bama team losing a ton will get drilled next year in tiger stadium.

thanks for pointing this out 'hawk.

T- I think I see the makings of a new reality show. It could be called "The Real Moms of College Recruits".

You make a good point about LSU fans, but we are talking about the arch enemey of LSU. I get the feeling though that most of those people would have said whatever they said if it had been North Carolina.

I have no problem with LSU fans hammering Alabama, both fan bases do a good job of that. Just leave the kids out of it, and that includes UL fans when locals chose another school. If the student athlete comes out and makes negative comments about a program then he or she opens themselves up for such feedback.

I think when Bear Bryant had won so many games against LSU during that period, Alabama fans might say LSU wasn't a rival. But since the early 2000's, both programs have gone after each other pretty well and to say these two programs are not rivals now is a stretch.

well of course, T; i was just funning on the 'hawk post. the "rivalry" has basically been building since lsu started winning games again in the bear's last season of '82. i think the tigers have won a game or two more than 'bama over these 30 games. it amped up when saban got there and you had the former coach thing fanning the flames.

i clerked with a guy in n.o. the summer of '80. a big 'bama supporter/student, who never entertained the thought of making a legal career in n.o., but just had the opportunity to have a fun summer. we became friends, and have stayed in touch all these years. he ended up on the 'bama board of supervisors, or whatever they call it there, and was part of the "search committee" that went out and netted saban. he assures me that 'bama people consider lsu VERY much a heated rival, and with tennessee's plunge, the second most heated behind auburn lately.

Amen.

Hawk, if you're gonna hate at least be correct in your assessments. That is an incorrect statement made by someone who wishes a fact were myth. It shows more than just anger. It shows jealousy.
