Buddy, I enjoy your posts, but honestly, you need to stop listening to the ravings of these idiots who are drunk on the bama kool-aid. They simply can't accept "9-6 in Tuscaloosa", and it's warped their minds.

There is plenty of kool-aid on both sides. Kool-aid drinking Bama fans want to argue that Bama was really the better team (even though they lost). Kool-aid drinking LSU fans want to believe that there is a 2 TD difference when playing at home vs. playing away when its typically closer to 3 points. That's not a lot. In the Bama/LSU series, since 1980 the home team has won only 39.1% of the time. Could LSU win by 14 or more? Its possible, but its unlikely either team will win by a lot. You can take all the stats, the fact that Bama only punted twice, the overtime performances, and even the score of the previous game and toss them because if Bama and LSU square off, all that will really matter is what happens in the NC game. I know, it doesn't seem fair to me either but its more fair than giving a less deserving team a shot at the NC.
