re: Anyone else really have a subtle negative feeling about this game?

My only fear is the players letting it get in their head. Thinking they need to make plays but make mistakes instead. With a four game losing streak players could be overthinking, wanting to win too much. Need to just execute the plays called.

My negative feelings toward LSU football ended with out loss to UAB.

I have high hopes for each game. I don't know why I wouldn't given our high level of achievement.

Who gives a shite what saban says

The Bama week is always difficult for me because I have hated them so much for over 55 years.

Downvote all you want....I know exactly how you feel, and Vegas's initial say in the matter had the same effect on me - yeah, they are enticing folks to gamble....and they do so because they generally are really good at predicting the outcome.

Look y'all, my heart still hurts - like literally I still get a pit in my stomach - when I'm flipping through the channels, and see an LSU Bama replay game on, look at the year, then think back real quick to whether we won or lost. There have been precious few lately where I say "oh, that's one we won." And the way we lost is generally even tougher.

Until we get a break against them - until their frickin quarterbacks' careers ARE NOT DEFINED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE 4TH QUARTER MIRACULOUS COMEBACK AGAINST LSU, AND THE RELATIVE DIFFICULTY THEREOF - I won't go into this game with confidence. We've just lost to them too many times, in too many ways. There's a fine line between high expectations, and setting yourself up for heartbreak. For me, going into this game with any expectation is the equivalent of going to Vegas, losing money, and being upset when I leave. Going duck hunting, having a rough day, and being upset we didn't slay them. As a single man, seeing some OT 10 in a bar, sending her a drink, being stunned that I didn't wind up taking her home. Admittedly, they are in my head, in much the same way as we were them pre Nick. Remember how fun that was? They are enjoying that now, and it sucks.

I have a negative feeling about this ge every year since Saban got to Bama.

make it hard to feel all too confident going into this year's edition. The Vegas line just added to that (although I realize they are in the business of enticing people to bet).

the sad part about this post is that you have been on the site for 10 years...so obviously you aren't 18 years old and have an excuse for the pathetic pussy post. Some of you little pussies, I swear.....knee-jerking, over-reacting pussies....that's you.

has bama had one before this gsame in the past?

yes

What Bradley Peveto is capable of haunts my dreams, but otherwise I feel really good about the game

Yes. I think we will lose. That's actually not too subtle. I'm excited and certainly hoping for a win however, but Bama will be very tough as always. They are loaded and well coached.
