Rome's Take

BCS Title Game Prediction

Everything in my head is telling me to go with Alabama Monday night in the BCS title game against LSU. I mean, no one is beating Bama twice in one year. And no way Nick Saban is losing to the same guy twice in one season, much less an arch rival, where he won a national championship. Truth is, if Les Miles does do the Nictator again, that will be twice this year and three times in a row overall, since he got him in 2010 too. That’s not happening. Saban is way too good a coach to lose three in a row to anyone: (Les Miles, Bill Belichick, or Vince Lombardi). Be real. And let’s be straight: you also can’t say LSU’s best beat Alabama’s best back on November 5th because they didn’t get Bama’s best shot. Bama made a number of uncharacteristic mistakes. Saban himself, uncharacteristically went braindead a few times; and they still were right there. Saban doesn’t lose rematches so it’s all pointing to the obvious: Bama Monday night. Ehhhhh!! I’m going the other way. It says here, LSU will do Alabama again, and Miles will get over on Saban a third time in a row. Alabama didn’t beat Alabama, LSU beat Alabama in November... and they did it in their house, under the lights. And now they get them in, what amounts to their own house. Bama may have the better running back, but LSU has the better defense, the better quarterbacks, and I dare I say the better coach. And I don’t know why that sounds so sacrilegious: win this game and Miles is the better coach: two national titles will tell you that. And so would three straight wins over the man. I’m taking the Hat, to pull the hatrick and shock the world: LSU 20, Alabama 17.

WTF? These idiots have really bought into the Saban is God mindset. If that was true, then what the frick happened when he lost to Texas and Iowa while here? He's far more likely to serve up a turd than Les...that's FACT! It should not SHOCK anyone who pays attention.

Is it weird that while I was reading that, the sound of Jim Rome's smart-arse way of saying things was playing in my head? You know..with the pauses.

It shouldn't be a shock but will be. We're undefeated and Bama is favored on basically our home field. It's time to silence the critics.
