One of the best takes on the LSU/Bama game so far: Greg McElroy

Solid all around analysis of both squads and what he thinks will happen or have to happen to win the game Saturday.

LINK

He picks Alabama, obviously, but he gives a lot of credit to the Tigers and admits it will be a hell of a game.

SIAP, but with all the stupid weather and “what if I told you” threads, this could use a resurface.

I hate a gump as much as anyone but I gotta give him credit, he’s very good at his job. Always enjoy his analysis

I think they’re trying to hype the game up a little more. I’d love nothing more than to contribute to Saban’s inevitable decline a la Joe Paterno, but this will take a perfect game by LSU, JD will have to play lights out, and Bama will have to come out sloppy and let the crowd noise get to them.

Edit: no one with a pulse without f you money would bet on the Tigers winning. All odds are stacked against us. Bryce Young vs JD alone makes this into a potential blowout.

McElroy is very good with his commentary. I love it when he's calling an LSU game.

GMac was one PP7 cramp and blown call away from being 0-2 against us as a starter.

Lol at you getting down voted for saying the obvious about Bryce and JD.

I like McElroy. He's about as "un-Gump" of a Gump as you can be. He needles Alabama fans saying his '09 team was better than the '20 team since they didn't play in front of empty stadiums and cardboard cutouts.

His morning radio show partner, Cole Cubelic, picked LSU in his "Rubik's Cubelic."

Despite being a Bama guy, always like Greg McElroy. Provides great insight and does a great job during the games.

not really a bama guy except that he played for them, a kid raised to be a qb, dad is a big shot with the Cowboys, he went to a football factory hs, all the camps, grooming, etc.

Other than that Ms. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

McElroy is 0-1 in Tiger Stadium so of course he'd pump LSU's home field advantage up

I do really like him as an announcer and analyst though. He's usually pretty objective and neutral even when it comes to Bama.

I watched earlier and thought he did a good job too. Enjoy him during games and couldn't be as impartial as he is. Then there are guys like Vern, Danielson and Tess that drool.

Burrow doesn’t have the wheels JD has. Nobody in the country does.
