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?


I’m fortunate enough to have had some real success in life. I never would have if I thought like you.

The same reason Purdue beat Ohio State.

Seriously, though. How sad must someone be to do this before EVERY game in the hopes this one will be THE ONE I'M PROVEN RIGHT ON - I'LL SHOW YALL!?!?

Probably because you failed to properly preface it with a pregame concession speech.

Glad to see you didn't make that mistake again.

Your blind squirrel moment this year spoke for itself, huh?

What a hero.

do not mistaken confidence for over-confidence. If you think you are going to fail before you even try, why try or give it your all.

Really, I do not understand the defeatist attitude of some.

Next time you want to post a pre-game melt just label it as such so those of us who actually want to talk X's and O's won't waste our time with you.

Nah

Just seems kinda pathetic

I mean I'm sure plenty of people have doubts about the game

Not all of those people are preemptively starting threads like this for the sole purpose of coming back after a loss to say they were right. And it's pretty clear to everyone that this is what you are doing.

Look how pissy he gets when people point it out.

Hey, we're 14 point underdogs, so I'm gonna be the board contrarian badass and stick my neck out "predicting" the loss. Wooo Weee.

They pass well. We defend the pass well

They can be run on, we can run

We have better ST.

We can most certainly win

As others have said, we are certainly not "supposed" to win.

Actually, if you listen to the media or BAma fans, we shouldn't even show up to the game.

If it came down to it I doubt most LSU fans would put money on LSU straight up. It's just showing confidence and not bowing at Bama's feet.

Do you expect fans to sit here and dwell in inevitable defeat? frick that shite

I literally responded point-by-point.

Dude, just take a zoloft and log off for the next couple of days. The illogical, cowardly hand-wringing shtick is tired.

You’ll get a lot of hate for this, but nothing you said was at all malicious or arguable.


That said, you could have written similar posts every time we’ve played Alabama in Tiger Stadium since Saban has been there, and every time it’s been about as close as a game can be, with LSU even winning one.

I think logic goes out the window in this series, at least it has in the past. We’ll see if that’s still the case, but I actually do have a sneaking suspicion this is going to be another nail biter of a game.

The one thing that we have right now that we haven’t in the past is Joe Burrow. The guy really is just a different kind of dude than we’ve had in a really long fricking time.

I’ve been completely sold on him since Day 1 and he hasn’t done anything to show me he just isn’t up to games like this. On the contrary, he shown that he absolutely thrives in these games.

I don’t think tomorrow will be any different.

Aranda was phenomenal against Saban in 16 and pretty good last year. Again, no reason to think that won’t be the case again this year, although Tua at QB is certainly a different kind of cat as well.

Still, I just think there is too much momentum going in our favor right now for this not to be a photo finish.

I believe in Burrow on a stage like this. It’s why he was never going to fricking Cincinnati. He went to Ohio State to play at the Shoe against teams like Michigan, and when that became not the right fit, Tiger Stadium was the perfect replacement. Alabama has been on his mind since he arrived
