It is going to be a highly emotional contest for a period of time. that is very hard for anyone to argue or contest.

I have been listening to all the rhetoric, and I am not seeing why we should win tomorrow.

Has Alabama played much of anyone this year? No, they have not. That doesn't mean that they have not played quality competition in years past and don't know what competition looks like.

I will also say that this is probably not nearly the best defense Alabama has fielded in recent years. They do have some weaknesses. I am not sure that we have the offense to exploit those weaknesses. What typically kills Alabama is speed. We have to be honest that we are slower than usual at RB, and we don't have the deep passing game to exploit any speed in the passing game.

Now to the biggest issue of RED ZONE OFFENSE. It sucks. It just does. Why will that change now. We have not been holding back. We might be able to pull out some cute plays, but we saw how that worked for Georgia. We have to be on our top game, with some innovative misdirection play calling, in order to smash mouth with the Tide near the goal line.

Our defense is good. Damn solid. Strong men of whom I am proud to say represent LSU. We have to be real again. What Bama is rolling out there is serious next level talent. Never in Saban's tenure has an offense been so potent. The line blocks (read holds) the receivers have after burners up their arse, and Irv Smith, Jr. could be our biggest matchup nightmare out at TE. Seriously, who is going to cover him?

What bothers me is the typical key to the V for this game. Bama has to play their game, and they will likely win. LSU has to play their BEST GAME, and hope a few things don't go so well for the opposition.

Miami was rolling with a shite QB.
Auburn just ended up sucking this season.
We caught Georgia on a seriously bad day.

Bama marches in.
They will be ready.......Will we???

Yeah, I don't understand the over-confidence. LSU is likely to lose. We hope that they won't. Why are we acting as if that isn't the case?

We're not. And that's why I'm so pumped up because I think we can.

You will be shocked if Bama rolls easily? Seems like the only scenario not on the table is LSU routing Bama. All others are fair game.

Why exactly were we supposed to be UGA?

You were a sniveling bitch before that game and it looks like you are still being a scared bitch before this one.

The fricking bus is leaving the station. Get on board or stfu and get out.

I don't think anyone has said we are "supposed" to win. But I think we have a shot if we play our best and Bama doesn't. I don't think that is a ridiculous take. You yourself acknowledge a number of reasons in your own post as to how we have a shot to pull it off.

The dominant theme on the Rant these 2 weeks has been casually assuming LSU would win.

We're not supposed to. Which would make it awesome when we do.

It is amazing how some can even survive with their negativity. Either you need your soul blessed or brain surgery.

I mean frick why don't we just play White and cause the powers that be to make us forfeit the whole darn thing. Heck, just cancel the rest of the season and crown them.

Was App State supposed to beat Michigan?

Was the United States supposed to beat the greatest power in the world in the American Revolution?

Heck, was the tortoise supposed to beat the hare?

“Supposed to” does not equal reality.

“Supposed to” is what’s expected to happen.

How many times in your life has something that was expected to happen, not happen?

That's your problem, you are thinking with your brain, we don't do that here. Start thinking from your heart, and you will com e to the same obvious conclusion, that LSU is about to blow some bitches out.
