re: It's not that LSU was good.....it's that Bama was one-night only bad

LSU dominated the 2nd half and except for 3 missed opportunities (FG's) LSU would have won by 10+ points. Sound familiar from 2011 season but with a lot more squeaky wheel gets the grease b.s. LSU was the better team. Hopefully A&M can put Alabama's arrogance on it's arse! We are LSU and we let our playing take care of a lot of b.s talking. I think the country agrees w my analysis. We hardly dopped a spot in the BCS rankings despite "losing" on the scoreboad. Geaux Tigers! Got to keep fighting despite the no BCS championship possibilities in 2012. It's been a long season with a lot of growing pains. Hopefully LSU comes out playing like a championship contender from start to finish in 2013. Geaux Tigers!

Bama secured two victories last weekend

Bama beats LSU
Bama beats Bama

Bama improves to 10-0 on the year with the double victory. Very impressive.

From a thread earlier this year:
Until you lose. Then it sounds like this:

"I don't think there's an excuse. They beat us. They really did," McElroy said. "They did a great job. Credit their players and their coaches. We just didn't come out and play the way we should have played."

Notice how close he came to giving LSU a compliment. He was soo close to saying the better team won. Then in the last remark, the Saban training kicks in and he stays on message about how they beat themselves. Almost a Saban coaching breakdown, but McElroy was able to right the ship there.

What we learned (from the first meeting with LSU) is we beat ourselves. LSU didn’t do anything to beat us. We made mental mistakes. We have to focus on what we have to do this game. … I think we beat ourselves. We got in the red (zone) five or six times and didn’t execute. We did something to stop our progression in scoring.

We wanted to come out and show the world we beat ourselves the first game. We wanted to come out and dominate from start to finish, and that's what we did

My idea of a team "beating themselves" is turnovers, penalties, blown assignments, dropped passes, missed FG's, etc....

Bama had 1 penalty for 15 yards - LSU 7 for 51 yards. Bama missed no field goals and LSU missed 2. Bama 2 lost fumbles (to zero for LSU) but for all intents and purpose, LSU's 3 failed gambles on 4th down and the onside kick either squandered a scoring opportunity or gave Bama great field position and had the same effect as turnovers. LSU actually did more to beat themselves than Bama did.

Is that really surprising since when we beat them last year in Bryant Denny and again, they beat themselves, left all kind of points on the board.
They are Entitled Bunch of Narcisictic Lunitics.
We shouldn't have the season just annoint BAMA WORD CHAMPS forever. Or atleast till Saban leaves.
Seems to me he has not challenge at BAMA every coach is scared to compete w/Saban in SEC. So what is left as a challenge for Saban at BAMA?

LSU pounded that arse.
