re: SI Article LSU v. Bama

And I doubt GG had a tactical ploy to dis the Tigers on the eve of signing day. Mandell obviously contacted him as a source for his piece - probably several days ago - and what you see is what you get.

Garmisch, I also agree with this. GG has been relegated to glamorized blogger for smaller newspapers and will find himself looking for even lesser employment (hopefully) if he keeps this crap up. I think Mandel did himself a huge disservice by quoting the whiny bitch; maybe Mandel is on the hot seat with SI too. I used to read him up till about 2 years ago but he got so obvious with his attempts at fan flaming that I just quit reading.

As for Bama and their coach, I think they never will be a real rivalry for LSU. They will be good but not necessarily great with the exception of a random year when things fall into place (this past year). Nick is too formula driven and the rest of the SEC will know how to prepare for him. The talent level will keep them solidly competitive though.
