LSU Fans Are Loaded With Jokes For ‘Bama Hate Week’

One might think that Nick Saban's departure from the University of Alabama football program would possibly cool the rivalry between LSU and the Crimson Tide, but that would be wrong.

See, it was Saban who truly lit the fire in this rivalry, having coached both programs, but here in Louisiana, once there's a line drawn in the sand, it stays drawn!

In Louisiana, overall, we are a very loving people.  We love God! We love Mama! We love gumbo! And we LOVE LSU football!

And even with Saban gone, real LSU fans just hate Bama!

See, LSU has played the University of Alabama in football since 1895 and they've played each other annually since 1964.  And while we've always wanted to win each contest, the real rivalry didn't exist until 2007, when Saban first showed up on the campus of the University of Alabama.

Since then, no one can deny Alabama's success. They've won six National Championships in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2020.

Of course, LSU hasn't fared too badly since Saban's departure from LSU as we won National Championships under Les Miles in 2007 and in 2019 under Coach Ed Orgeron.

What If Nick Had Never Left LSU?

Some wonder what dynasty LSU might have become if Nick had never left Baton Rouge.  That's probably the cornerstone of Bama Hate Week.  The curiosity of what might have been.

However, in this first meeting of LSU and Bama since Saban's departure, there's new fuel for this rivalry. The winner of this game will have a really good shot at making it into the NCAA "College Football Playoff" which will be comprised of the five highest-ranked conference champions and the remaining seven highest-ranked teams for a 12-team format.

Obviously the loser will have zero chances for possibly repeating as National Champions.

So the rivalry remains, and with that in mind, nearly LSU fan gets in on the funny action of the week!
