And LSU will never replace Alabama as Auburn's biggest rival. It wouldn't matter if Bama goes winless for the next 50 years. Just like LSU will never be bigger than Alabama's 3rd biggest rival.
They will if LSU and Auburn keep Beating bama every year, thats the way it works. A rivalry, no matter what rivalry it is, loses its intensity when it becomes one sided. It also loses its intensity when the games arent as big. USC/UCLA used to be a very big game but its been a while since UCLA has been a contender.
I am sure Bama will come back if they continue to recruit well, but if they have ten more years like the last ten they wont be anybodys big rival.
