Of course I'm taking Bama lightly….they suck. Why do people have such a tough time accepting that? Have you actually watched a Bama game this year? Do you know how thin they are on BOTH lines? Do you have any idea? Do you know how few scholarship players they have? Do you know that their QB's are both banged up? We're talking about a team that got crushed by Georgia and Ole Miss. We're talking about a team that hasn't beaten a single SEC team with a winning record. Its SEC wins have come against Kentucky and stinkin' Mississippi State. We're talking about a team that lost at home to Northern Illinois for God's sake. We're talking about a team that has an offense ranked 70th in the country and a defense ranked about 30th. They lost the heart of their team from last year. And, PLEASE, don’t point to the damn Oklahoma game from 508 months ago. Oklahoma is not the same team now that it was then and neither is Bama. Oklahoma has gelled and Bama has just gotten beat up. If you think Bama would lose to Oklahoma by 7 now, you are smoking crack. Hey, what do you know… LSU is even ranked somewhat higher than Bammer…..go figure. Does anyone here deny that LSU is a much better team than Bama? Anyone? If we bring our A game, we'll beat them by 30. If we bring our B game, we'll beat them by 14. If we bring our C or D game, we'll still beat them by 7. The only real opponent LSU faces is itself…..period. And I'm not going to sit around here wringing my panties anticipating that LSU is going to come out and play poorly…not after having already made that mistake this year. It amazes me that we are ranked friggin NUMBER 3 in the country, facing a squad that has been decimated by injuries and is 4-6, and ANYONE would rationalize a loss.
Now, lets talk motivation….
LAST YEAR a guy (LSU fan actually) made up a supposed post-game speech given by Saban the week before the Bama game. In the "speech", Saban put down the Bama team yada yada yada....well, Francione got a hold of it and preached it to his team like the gospel. Following their trouncing of us, Francione, along with some of his players (including Shaud Williams) confronted coach Saban during the post-game handshake and had some not too nice words for Nick concerning the "speech". Last night on his weekly radio show Coach Saban said the internet debacle was the most embarrassing thing that has happened to him personally in his coaching career…..with the way the coaches AND players from Alabama responded to him following the game. Does this sound like a man who has forgotten? I don't think so...there will be a very vocal pre-game speech delivered in Tuscalooser this Saturday and payback is gonna be a severe.
LSU 38 - 10
