The two teams have been battling it out on the field for over a century, with no love lost between them. But in recent years, another front has opened up in this rivalry: the world of memes.

The Birth of the LSU-Bama Meme War
The rise of social media has given fans a new way to express their passion for their favorite teams. And in the case of LSU and Alabama, that passion has taken the form of a hilarious meme war. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when this rivalry started, but it’s safe to say that it’s been building for several years.
LSU fans have been particularly creative in their efforts to mock Alabama. From making fun of their accent to poking fun at their lack of national championships, LSU fans have left no stone unturned in their quest to get under the skin of their rivals.
The Best LSU Memes Against Alabama
So what are some of the best memes that LSU fans have come up with? Here are a few classic examples:
The “Saban Face” Meme
Nick Saban, the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, is one of the most successful coaches in college football history. But that hasn’t stopped LSU fans from making fun of his facial expressions. The “Saban Face” meme features a picture of Saban with a comically angry expression, accompanied by a snarky caption.
The “LSU vs. Alabama GPA” Meme
LSU fans have also taken aim at their rivals’ academic prowess (or lack thereof). This meme compares the average GPAs of LSU and Alabama students, with LSU coming out on top. Of course, this ignores the fact that Alabama has won more national championships than LSU in recent years.
The “Cecil the Lion” Meme
When Alabama played LSU in 2015, the game was marred by controversy over the death of Cecil the Lion. LSU fans took the opportunity to mock Alabama by creating a meme featuring the lion and the caption “Even Cecil the Lion knows not to mess with LSU.”
The Response from Alabama Fans
Of course, Alabama fans haven’t taken these memes lying down. They’ve responded with their own memes, which are often just as hilarious as the ones from LSU fans. Here are a few examples:
The “LSU vs. Alabama Stadium” Meme
This meme compares the stadiums of LSU and Alabama, with Alabama’s stadium coming out on top. It’s a clever way of poking fun at LSU’s home field advantage.
The “LSU vs. Alabama Graduation Rate” Meme
Alabama fans have also taken aim at LSU’s academic record. This meme compares the graduation rates of the two schools, with Alabama coming out on top.
The “Joe Burrow” Meme
LSU fans have been quick to celebrate their former quarterback, Joe Burrow, who led the team to a national championship in 2019. But Alabama fans have responded with a meme featuring a picture of Burrow with the caption “The last time Joe Burrow played Alabama…” followed by a picture of him being tackled by an Alabama player.
The Bottom Line
The LSU-Bama meme war is a hilarious and entertaining part of the college football landscape. Whether you’re a fan of LSU, Alabama, or just love a good meme, there’s no denying the creativity and humor of these rival fanbases. And who knows? Maybe one day we’ll see a national championship game between these two teams that lives up to the hype.
