Flattered that our blog's layout/theme was so visually appealing that Bama decided to use creepily similar HTML.
Astounded that a student at the University of Didn't-Get-Into-Any-Other-SEC-Schools was able to recreate the art that is our banner and tier charts designed on Photoshop.
The irritation kicks in when a post such as this (click here) is spat.
The post, addressing their blatant imitation of our creative work, will piss off just about any LSU student. It contains typical Bama-supremacy, such as the following:
I would, however, like to thank LSU and the creator of LSU Greeks That Matter for giving us such a good idea. We appreciate it, we really do. Now, sit back, and allow us to outshine you in this category, in addition to the so many others: Football, Coaching, Location, Class etc.Pause. You're actually shitting me.
We're not sorry that we took Nick Saban. We're not sorry that we keep winning the BCS National Championship and we're definitely not sorry that we will soon prove to have a better Greek system (If this is not already proven).
Football: you got us there. We know, in the past two football seasons, 2 of the 3 LSU/Bama games resulted in a Bama victory. Congrats!
Coaching: Nick Saban left us for the NFL, and then returned to college football coaching for Alabama. We've come to terms with this. Besides, we had him first and we've actually grown to like our new head coach, Les Miles. Les is More! A team should be capable of success regardless of the coaching. We've proven that we remain relevant regardless of the coaching staff atop LSU football.
Location: The state of Alabama is in no way/shape/form superior to the state of Louisiana. Both states are Bible Belt, Deep South states. Dirty Southern money resides in both states.
Class: Absolute laugh riot. Easily the most ridiculous claim that could have been made when comparing the two schools. Any search engine can support the following: LSU's incoming classes are consistently academically superior to those of Bama. GPAs & Test Scores: we are ahead in both. Our retention rate is higher. Our 4 year graduation rate is higher. On these credentials alone, it stands to reason that LSU would be the 'classier' school.
Let's compare campuses? Sure, Bama's campus is pretty! There's no doubt about that! But LSU's campus is, overall, more visually appealing than Alabama's. Our greek row is home to unique architectural styles to house our Greeks, where as Alabama's chapter houses follow a much more modern, common Suburban architectural style. The majority of our sorority houses have lakeside views from their front porch. Breathtaking!
What an unusual thing to say: that it may or may not already be accepted that Bama's Greek Life is superior to that of LSU's. Have we forgotten about this haus to the left?
What's that he's doing in the football stadium? Oh, that's right - he's crying. This still has been plastered across the web more times than Nick Saban's daughter throws drunken fits. Memes, t-shirts, coffe mugs, posters, commercials, notebooks - we've seen it all! If we were to base Alabama's reputed Greek Life on the contents of the web - Bama's Greek Life sucks.
I'd like to show off a frocket design that graces the Bayou on a daily basis. We Greeks at LSU don't agree upon everything - but when it comes to crying Bama pledges, we unite.
The saving grace of our collective efforts would be our similar aspirations - to highlight the attractive Greeks within each of our communities and sort our chapters into a tier system. LSU Greek Life will hopefully prove, through the course of this site's operation, that it is much more impressive than Alabama's.
