The Perfect Storm?

It's probably just me but I'm starting to get fired up for Nov. 9th. Alabama vs LSU! We should have a bit of a chip on the old shoulder after getting toasted in BCS title game and then basically falling apart in the last 2 minutes of arguably our best 2nd half of football all of last season. Let's check out the variables:
Health: Seems to me this is the healthiest I can recall an LSU football team being heading into bye week. Props to the team and coaches for keeping everyone ready, willing, and able. Ala. lost their most complete defensive player for the season just 2 weeks ago. Advantage: LSU
Motivation: Getting humiliated in BCS title game is still lingering along w meltdown at home late in game last season that basically altered 2 back-to-back BCS titles away from LSU to ALA. Ouch!
Advantage: LSU
Offense: Ala. is a juggernaut offensively by college football standards but so is LSU and the Tigers have the most playmakers at the most skilled positions IMHO. Pretty much a toss up but hey it's the Rant. Advantage: LSU
Defense: Ala. is solid as always. If LSU can find a way to limit 1st down running plays and stop Ala. on 3rd down and limit the TD's we should be good. Kids in back end of defense are still young but getting better and better. I think Chavis sells out and brings this house on more than just a few occassions. We get a few breaks and make some key stops THIS time. It's called law of averages. Advantage (probably NOT).... LSU
Specialty Teams: ODBJr. will bring his A+ game for this one. Cements his All-America status as kickoff and punt returner. Less pulls another one out of the hat w some more foolishness that actually works. Advantage: LSU
Intangible of all intangibles: Not only are LSU fans sick and tired of hearing how dominant Ala. has become but so is the ENTIRE nation - except for those living in Alabama. Karma is what it is and sooner or later Saban has to pay for not only leaving LSU but stealing its prized recruits and beating us the last 2 seasons when it counted the most. It's payback time! Geaux Tigers. L..... S..... U.....

This might be the most absurdly optimistic post on this board in a long, long time. I like it, though.

If you're an LSU fan and you're not fired up for the Bama game, then you're just a giant pussy

When LSU beats Alabama and knocks them out of the BCSNC game, the Gumps will be bitching that the top 4 playoff should have started this season.

Then they will back in like 2011 once all the other teams above them choke.

Probably.
..and we thought we were lucky in 2007. Bama has had things break their way in BTB years to back into the BCSNCG.

Damn dude !!!! not even sure why Bama should show up based on your predictions!!!
