For a while, the Rebs were thinking about giving up our home game every other year and just playing in BR every year.
As to the Tide and Bigwater's point that UM did not play them as much back in the 50s and 60s as MSU did, that was because the Bear was ducking Vaught.
Alabama has only lost twice in the past 30 years in Baton Rouge. And those 2 were during the Saban era. Talk about owning a stadium...I sre hope it returns to those days.
As for OM taking pride in having "success" in the last decade against LSU: I'm sure you'd trade those years in a heartbeat for their 2 SEC Championships and NC during that same time span.
