In the past, I was worried about playing Bama. I got my hopes up each year only to be let down. I think this year is different.

Coach O has this team peaking at the right moment. We've had analysts study every snap of theirs this season. We finally have some quality depth on the offensive and defensive lines. We a great QB and leader at the helm, with athletes at his disposal. We have the best/most talented secondary in the country. Coach Aranda and Coach Ensminger will have great game plans for ready for the guys. Death Valley is alive and well, and will be a force to be reckoned with for all 4 quarters. Yes, they have probably the best QB in the country, and our best defensive player is out for the first half - but we have great coaches that will put us in the best positions to succeed. The past few years we've had to use grit and heart just to give us a chance. This year, grit and heart will be an added bonus on top of skill and preparation.

Say what you want about Coach O - but if we lose this game, it won't be due to lack of focus and preparation. As much trash as Bama is talking, we all know that it's fools gold. They are worried about this game, and justifiably so.

Once that ball is kicked off, we all need to band together and sit back and enjoy watching our Tigers play in one of the biggest games of the year, in the best stadium in the country.

For the first time in a while, I truly believe that we can AND will win. Geaux Tigers and Forever LSU!

I'm excited about this game because for the first time in many years, we have a team that's shown that it's capable and talented, and that the offense isn't one dimensional.

Sounds like more of the same? It will only be different if we actually win.

The closer this game gets, the more I feel like LSU will win this thing. I can just feel a crazy game in the works that LSU will manage win.

100% agree. I haven't felt this way about this game in a long long time.

I'm getting more excited as this week progresses. It feels like momentum is building. Tiger Stadium is going to be in a frenzy.

Literally agree with you in the exact opposite direction. I’ve thought LSU had a chance, if not picked them outright (2012-2015.), but this year I don’t see a chance. This team is going up against a buzzsaw. It’s not as much a ding against LSU as it is knowing this is St. Nick’s best team.

2-1 in your last 3 is peaking at the right moment?

An abysmal offensive performance in your last outing is peaking at the right moment?

I cannot wait for Saturday night. I haven't been this confident about beating Alabama since 2011. This game feels so much different than in years past. Not only do we have a chance .... but

OUR TIGERS ARE WINNING SATURDAY NIGHT. Straight up.

We will come out swinging and be ultra aggressive.

You guys in Tiger Stadium will be deafening. You will get to explode inside that stadium many times as your Tigers make a number of big plays.

Tua will see different looks and their WR will see man-to-man coverage, the best secondary in college football. There will be a turnover or 3. Tua will get hit more than he's used to.

Our Tigers will play every bit as good as they did against Georgia, if not better.

Bama will make mistakes and look mortal. We will capitalize.

Our defense will rise to the occasion and keep Bama in check.

Joe Burrow will rise to the occasion, as well. He will complete big passes, short passes and he will move the chains on 3rd down. In fact, Joe Burrow will play his best game.

I'm not sure of the score, but my crystal ball sees LSU playing lights out football Saturday night and really putting it on Alabama.

Be ready ladies and gentlemen.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

How in the hell do you call that abysmal? It was raining, cold and windy and we still played well enough to win against one of the best D-Lines in the country. We beat the shite out of Georgia in Tiger Stadium and played well enough away in the Swamp to win that game. Quit being a sissy and pessimist.

Everybody laughed at me when I predicted LSU would beat Georgia. So here is my prediction for this game...LSU will be fined for a third offense of running on the field - $250,000.
