I remember after the 03 NC game OU was really pissed off that N$ had been filming the OU practices in the Dome. I really never thought much about possibly being true until Bill Belichick got busted filming other teams signals. Then when N$ came back into the SEC many of the other SEC teams started running closed practice sessions.
Should LSU hire extra security for their practice sessions in the Dome?

I wouldn't doubt it. Anything to get an edge as long as its within the rules.

Dude. Every team will do anything imaginable to get an edge. Big money buisness, ethics have been thrown out the window years ago. Bugged locker rooms and head sets, undercover moles, bountys on qb's, etc.

College football is FILTHY

I remember it also. It didn't really hit mainstream. Stoops did bring it up though

It was all over tiger droppings after the OU game in 03. OU was saying N$ anticipated all their new plays etc and seemed to know everything they were going to do.

Well then you should be able to find and post SOMETHING.

Not saying it wasn't rumored but I never heard it and I'm on my phone so can't properly research

I highly doubt it actually happened though. You will lose your high school coaching job for doing stuff like that much less an NCAA coaching job

I am sure we will both have spies there this time.

This game is going to be a fight in a phone booth. Saban has every contengincy plan in place. He will do everything in his power not to lose to lsu again. Cheating or not.

We'll just see how that works out for him

Serious? You know how easy it would be for the head coach at lsu to get someone with the superdome, saints, sugar bowl to place one measly camera in that big arse place? shite man, I could be saban, go to practice that morning and leave a small camera anywhere in that mother fricker, nevermind keeping track of every player and staff member. Hell, anyone could film it with their phone, upload it then erase it

Have you tried to use the search function lately one TD. No chance in hell of finding a post this year much less one from 03!

Wayyyy harder than you think. The superdone has security, the sugar bowl has their own security, and the teams will have their own security during all team movements. You don't move within a venue like that on a stage like that without every security person you come in contact with checking your credentials

Not to mention the risk/reward is way too out of balance. There are plenty of hours of legal game film to watch. Watching a practice won't tell them anything they don't know except for maybe some gimmicks. And if you get caught, you could lose your multi million dollar salary job and the school face penalties from NCAA

Just not worth it
