I would say so. They have the most to prove. Tons of people say they had their chance, and Okie St. should be the team in the BSCCG. LSU can go in footloose and fancy free. I think Bama will come in TIGHT and the HAVING the NOT to lose mentality.

I could not disagree more. They're playing with house money imho. All the pressure is on us. And that's fine.

not me...we have to finish this off the right way.

People are throwing around the idea that we may be the one of the best (if not, THE best) team in CFB history. Pressure's on us to finish.

I agree.

I think more pressure is on Saban. Da Gumps will be pissed if we beat them again. It will be priceless.

I agree.

Can you imagine Saban's state of mind when he looses to Les AGAIN.

He and his team were tight for the 1st game. They'll be tighter on the 9th.

Les's team will be laughing, having fun & balling!!!!

HOW??? WE beat them once. So the pressure is on US to beat them again???? Bama has a TON of pressure on them. BTW Miles will have his team loose. I don't see Saban having his team loose. Like I said Bama has some pressure to do what they couldn't do before.

I think there is less pressure on Bama. The majority of people want them to lose - 65% in the poll I saw. They can come in and play loose, with an us against the world mindset.

Once you lose, it's easier to accept.

Absolutely. We're 13-0. Undefeated. One game away from a perfect season.

LSU has everything to lose in this game. Bama, with one loss, backed their way into the game and, as someone else mentioned, is essentially playing with house money.

That's exactly right, Peej. That first game is a lot less relevant now. Bama really has nothing to lose.

I do agree with those who say the pressure is greater on Saban than Miles though. If Saban loses to Les for a 3rd straight time, there will be some pissed off Gumps to deal with.

A little for both teams. But Bama seemed to play tight in their own house, so I see us as being a more loose team. Miles seems to get his teams confident in their bowl games.

This is different than LSU in 2007. They backed in. Bama did back in, and has more to prove than LSU. FACT. I am not saying there is ZERO pressure on LSU. But I think Saban will have his team so demorilized by his boot camp ways that it WILL effect them. I think Les will have his team realizing that what the NEXT GOAL IS better than Saban.

Which could be a scary thing against an inferior opponenet. Like Utah against Bama in 2008. This is a different case with Saban as coach of the team that thinks they have to prove something.

Hmmm.... who could RATIONALLY agree with that?

LSU is number one, undefeated, with the greatest season in CFB history on the line.

vs.

Alabama has already lost... if they lose again to the same team what's the big deal?

Anyway, I think LSU played pretty nervously the first time around on offense, anyway, so this pressure question might be a bit irrelevant.

If you don't think this is a BIG DEAL for Saban then you are a fool. I just don't see the Bama team coming in loose and shite. I think LSU is the team that comes in loose. Kinda like ITS OUR house. You had your chance at yours. LSU rolls in this game. [barring any distraactions of course.]
