yeah, saw that, he is being rational (i.e. season has games to still play).

The change looks good on him...

LSUs offense has a looong way to go if they are going to compete in that game. If you thought UFs defense made them look bad.....wait until you see Bama.


Don't flatter yourself. Towson made our offense look bad!

until something changes in the offense, i can't say that i blame them for picking bama to win the west.


pretty sure what the guy was alluding to is the assumption by espn heads that neither MSU or LSU will give bama a game. bama is very good...but bama is beatable. the ole miss-bama game showed me that they can be stopped or, at least, slowed down enough to be in striking distance. with Chavis, Tiger Stadium and two weeks for Miles to prepare his kids I, frankly....like our chances. the clowns in conn. can talk all the shite they want....that game is going to be decided where big boys play football and the chance of rain...is never.

frick the quitters.

Last time I checked, you had to earn respect. Bama has basically toyed with e dry team so far. LSU, up until now, has earned squat. They've basically survived. That being said, I hope everything being said about them is going on a bulletin board and they show up and play as good as they are capable and somehow pull off a victory.

I hear ya- & agree.

It seems to the media that no one else in the SEC deserves any respect right now except for Bama and- to an extent- Florida. But nothing comes close to the love affair these people have with Saban.


It doesn't matter. Bama will have to actually earn their keep on the field- in Baton Rouge on a Saturday Night. Even the powerful ESPN can't GIVE it to them.


I believe LSU is the one team that can beat Alabama- and I honest to God believe they will do it on November 3rd. My opinion.

LSU is built to beat Bama. They probably won't do it based on what we've seen on the field so far this year, but for anyone to say it's a foregone conclusion that Bama has won the SEC West is just sucking dick.

It pisses me off, but this is setting up great for 11/3. It's physically impossible for Bama not to start believing their own hype. We come in there with a chip on their shoulder, hit them in the mouth a couple of times and they'll likely fold up.

This is what I don't understand. Do you think that the number one team in the country doesn't have a chip on their shoulder? We expect nothing less than BCS Titles every year, and a dominant performance in every game, and we get the things we demand out of our team. The fans put a chip on Bama's shoulder week in and week out. Our team is motivated as well. They had to hear before the season started about how they couldn't do it with all that they lost and this team may end up better than last year's, and last year's was one of the greatest ever. This team has to hear about how they can't win in Tiger Stadium. Both teams will be motivated, both will play with a chip on their shoulder. It'll be physical. It'll be football.

Maybe Alabama can put their SEC Champ Trophy next to Geno Smiths Heisman. ESPN had given out both awards already

Well, I tend not to care, but lately it's pretty bad. I was at hooters last night and espn was on. It was nothing but bama. On espn radio, nothing but bama. Cowherd didn't even mention us with elite teams, yet Oregon, bama, Florida and KANSAS are?

I really don't care and honestly, this is for the best. Blee dat

This.... I mean look at this without purple and gold glasses. If you are a "expert" and watched this offense all year and you picked LSU you would be laughed at by your colleauges.


Except, if you were an expert you would have to admit Bama hasn't played anyone with a pulse yet. I love that 90% of the sports media is already giving them the crystal and making their plans for the NCG. That will make it all the more sweeter when LSU knows their sorry butts back to T-Town and OUT of the NCG.

If these guys are all right, why should we even play any more games. Good grief, let's save these kids some injuries and just have the ceremony now.

they now base their ratings on the quick and negative yells of disrespect from the rant. You are only contributing to their prosperity.

I didn't. I know this will rock your delusional world, but UF won by one score - ONE - at your house, with several of our starters out.

Lsu has the same chance of beating bama that UGA does of beating Florida.

Not probable, but certainly POSSIBLE. That's why we actually play
