8 Thoughts LSU Fans Have During Alabama Hate Week
Renegade's BS

It's that time of year again. As the month of November begins, LSU currently sits undefeated and at the top of the SEC. They are in a great position to win the conference and make the College Football playoff. However, this LSU football team has plenty of obstacles to clear before it can get back to Atlanta for the first time since 2011. The main obstacle standing in LSU's way is, of course, Alabama, and LSU fans would not want it any other way. Everyone loves to hate those 'Gumps' up in Tuscaloosa, but LSU fans have a special, intimate hate relationship with Bama.

This burning hatred, at least in recent years, mainly stems from former LSU coach Nick Saban leaving his NFL coaching job and setting up shop in the same division of the same conference (yes, we are still mad about it). The other part of the hatred stems from our disdain for the pretentiousness of Bama fans, and it is pretty hilarious whenever they lose a game. The TV networks do an excellent job of finding grown men in the stands that are crying at the end of Bama's losing efforts. For Alabama Hate Week, I thought I would highlight the best memes and photoshop jobs featuring Nick Saban and Alabama football that the internet has to offer.


1. Liar, liar... Stating the obvious


2. A coach who has criticized players for leaving for the NFL early, Nick Saban did the same thing whenever he left LSU for the Dolphins...

...and then did it again when he left Miami for Tuscaloosa. Nick Saban definitely has a price.


3. Just because the phrase "Roll Tide" is the most annoying phrase in all of sports. A close second is Ole Miss' "Hotty Toddy".


4. One of my favorite Alabama icons, Harvey Updyke, pretty much sums up the Alabama fan base as a whole.

For those of you who don't know, Harvey Updyke is the Alabama 'super-fan' who poisoned the live oaks at Auburn's Toomer's Corner (Auburn fans really like their trees). Updyke did this in response to an Auburn jersey being taped onto the Bear Bryant statue in Tuscaloosa. Hilariously, he admitted to his crimes under the pseudonym "Al from Dadeville" on the Paul Finebaum radio show. The audio can be found here.


5. Many would argue that Les Miles is more like Forrest Gump than Nick Saban. Still a hilarious picture.


6. What I think every time I see Alabama football on television.


7. Alabama: a place where grown men cry after losing football games


8. Probably the most annoying thing about Bama football.

The program has had a lot of success in its history. Why do they have to claim national championships that weren't awarded to them by credible organizations? The 5 national titles Alabama claims before Bear Bryant's first championship are highly disputed and are not very legitimate. There is a Bleacher Report article from a few years ago that discusses Alabama's history of claiming national championships... It can be found here

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
