Just heard Jesse Palmer say this on Sportscenter.

Is he serious?

The hype machine is jsut revving its engine right now. For those who watch, the pregame will be unbearable.

how dare he say an undefeated defense is better than our 3 loss defense.

That would seem to be contradicted by the fact that over half of LSU's front seven are turning pro and most of them are underclassmen.

As much as I hate to say it Notre Dame's defense is legit. Not saying they have a better defense than we did but it's not like they are light years behind everyone in the defensive category.

They have to say that type of stupid shite so people that don't know better will actually watch.

If he'd said "may be the best," at least he would have some wiggle room. I'm not buying it. Maybe they feel the ND linebackers are better, but LSU's front four was other-wordly.

Interesting stat: ND gave up 13 points and 379 yard to OU. A&M gave up 13 points and 401 yards to OU. Nobody's going to confuse A&M's defense with LSU's.

Why do you people watch that shite?

You don't think the guys at ESPN know that Bama is going to win tonight by 20+ points? Of course they do.

This game will be a ratings hit. That's all that matters. Anyone who paid attention to CFB this year knows ND is vastly overrated.

Thanks to officiating, they beat Standford and Pitt. fricking Pitt (who lost to Youngstown State) should have beat them in South Bend.

Is he supposed to say they suck?

Just letting you know, no Bama player is obligated to mention LSU when they are about to play in a BCSNCG. I would bet right now they are focusing on their oponent rather than us.

Ours is good but I don't think it's the best in the country. Maybe not top 5.

Some of you people are so butt hurt and pathetic. Notre Dame does have one of the best front sevens in the country. Nix could have left after this year and been a top 10 pick, but he decided to come back. Teo will be the first MLB taken in the draft. They also have another DE in Stephen Tuitt that is a real stud.

Why is it that some of you think that no one else in the country can even be close to LSU talent wise?

It is funny that some of you are so butt hurt that you think it is outlandish for an ESPN analyst to say that the only undefeated team in FBS with the #1 scoring defense in the land MIGHT have the best front 7 that Bama has faced this year.

Just game hype. Do you think he would say LSU was the best front seven... comment such as this would be meaningless for their purpose which is to drum up viewers in the "dont give a shite" column.

They are.


I know it's mind blowing that there is a very legit defense not from the SEC.

ND has a monster at Defensive Tackle. He wears a single digit number, I think. He was the most impressive DT I saw all year. His potential is off the charts!

Several are saying the elite programs in the SEC are Alabama, Georgia, and Texas A&M. The chicken bowl loss to Clemson hurt our brand nationally.

Just there way of down playing LSU. We have 3 potential 1st rounders just on the line. REALLY! But hey! This is the kind of BULL SHITE! We have to listen to until Les gets serious about hiring a no non sense sophisticated play calling Offensive Co.
