Checking Out The Funniest Internet Memes For LSU Bama Hate Week
I honestly don't recall LSU considering Alabama a hated rival prior to Nick Saban's presence in Tuscaloosa, but that single act certainly lit a fire that continues to burn long after his departure from the college coaching world.
Truth be told, here in Louisiana, we are a very loving people. We love God! We love Mama! We love gumbo! And we LOVE LSU football!
But 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.
Many Wonder What Might Have Been For LSU Had Nick Saban Never Left The Team?
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.
Of course, tomorrow's meeting of these two SEC powerhouses has some pretty significant consequences and that certainly helps to fuel the "Hate" flame. If Alabama wins this contest, experts say the Crimson Tide's chances of making the 12-team College Football Playoff jump significantly to around 91%, compared to roughly 37% if they lose.
Conversely, according to nola.com, LSU holds around a 44% to 45% chance of making the 12-team College Football Playoff, but with a victory over Alabama, that number climbs significantly.
So the rivalry remains, and with that in mind, nearly LSU fan gets in on the funny action of the week and we've located some of the funniest Hate Bama memes on the internet.
