Charles Hannagriff tell you why it's okay to hate Bama (with audio and text)

Full Show


You Tube link just off his rant

My lock of the week and I’ve never done this before since we’ve been doing this show. I typically try and stay away from the game because it gets a little bit skewed you know. You know, you can't see the forest through the trees because you’re a little bit close up. My lock of the week is LSU…getting 6.5 points and I like LSU for a number reasons. They’ve only been beaten more than that three times under Les Miles in 10 years. I think everyone knows Les Miles record in Tiger Stadium. I think LSU in on the come. I think Alabama has struggled a little bit on the road. I think there are enough plays to be made out there by the LSU run game. I think if they ran AT Ole Miss and Alabama was run on Tennessee (the most recent samples that we have) I think that LSU will be able to run the ball enough to keep this thing close and actually I think they’re going to win the thing straight up.

So, you give me a good team and right now I think LSU is a good team with a chance to be great, I don’t know. But give me LSU at home getting 6.5 points against an Alabama team that’s only been so-so on the road. But, there’s another reason that LSU will not only keep it close, but win tomorrow night and I think it’s that stadium that we’re looking at behind Memorial Tower.

You can kind of feel it has been building in Baton Rouge this week. It’s an absolute LOVE for LSU and and absolute HATRED for Alabama and there is a reason (you’re going to have to give me a little more time here *speaking to his producers*).

There is a good reason to dislike these people! There is a good reason to dislike this team! In fact, there are ALOT of them. The fact that they dictate who they play against. The fact that they dictate when they play. The fact that they can dictate Geography or didn’t you know that Missouri is east of the state of Alabama. You know there is a reason there is a scholarship limit today in the NCAA. It’s so that offensive lineman don’t end up on swimming grant-in-aids. You know where that started? It started at the University of Alabama. You cannot like them because they fabricate statistics. How many national championships have they won? I don’t know what that number is but they’re claiming twice that many. You can hate them because Patrick Peterson’s foot was in bounds. You can hate em because Oklahoma State got screwed! You can hate em because there was a Christmas Day press conference in Florida. Remember the ditch diggers? You can hate em because of that. You can remember a disappointed mother with a teenage girl with a bow on the hood of her new Mercedes. You know where the NCAA manual got written? It got written in Tuscaloosa because most of the rules they’ve got are based on things that Alabama had broken or don’t the names Albert Means and Antonio Langham mean anything to you. You know the guy that makes the league schedules? He went to Alabama. You know th President of the NCAA? He once hired the coach at Alabama. You know this is the most entitled and delusional fanbase in the history of organized sports. And remember that this is a team that will get every break from every official, every administrator, every committee member. Literally ANYONE who is in authority in College Football is looking for any advantage that they can give to these people.

Remember THAT when you go into Tiger Stadium and scream your head off tomorrow night.

LSU is my lock of the week!
