I can’t see us winning all 3 games coming up. We really needed to beat either ole miss or Kentucky.


Well you can’t see what’s right in front of you. That’s a you issue. Putting 3 straight teams out of playoff contention is what’s coming.

Crazy stat, but this is the last time an opposing fan base hasn’t rushed the field after beating Bama.


Is this actually true?

When Bama lost at Tennessee last week, tv analysts said the last time it hadn’t happened was 2010.

I think Tennessee vs Kentucky gets the night game on ABC


LSU v Alabama is a national draw. It routinely gets some of the best ratings of the season...even when the two teams aren't that equal. Kentucky is a good story. But the rest of the nation doesn't pay any attention to Kentucky football.

Kentucky could be ranked #1 in the country and I still think they would pass on putting them in the primetime slot on ABC.

I think Kentucky will be on ESPN and then either Ole Miss fans or LSU fans will be pissed with a late afternoon kickoff and the other getting the ABC slot.

More likely the SECN night game unless they push OU/Florida there

There are 3 night game slots right?


Correct... which means one of the three flex games will be an afternoon game... but they will not put all three top 25 matchups (as of now) on at the same time... so one of these two is likely to be the 3:30 slot:

Bama @ LSU
UGA @ Ole Miss


Last week this was the scheudle:
Early:
LSU @ Auburn - ABC

Afternoon:
aTm @ Bama - ABC
OU @ State - SECN

Late:
Ole Miss @ Teaxs - ABC
Tenn @ USC - ESPN
Vandy @ Kentucky - SECN

Pretty insane. Hopefully we get the W and treat it like an expected win from now on.

No, since ND is the home team, NBC has the TV rights. Had it been in Miami, then ABC would have broadcast the game.

I hope it’s at 2:30. Look at the history of the series over the last 25 years. We play better against Bama during the day.


Looking at the history in Tiger Stadium, we have only won 10 games vs. Alabama, 9 after 1931, when LSU began p[playing night games.

Of those, 5 were night games, 3 were afternoon games, and I could not find what time the other was played.

Didn't feel like digging into the 17 we lost. Ultimately, the time, once it is no longer Hades hot, is probably irrelevant.

Other disgusting tidbits of info:

No LSU coach has won 2 consecutive home games

Only Les Miles and Nick Saban have won two home games

Les Miles has the most consecutive victories (3), and the most victories (5). Saban has 4 total victories in 5 years.

The largest LSU margin of victory was 28-0 in 1957 in Tiger Stadium under Paul Dietzel was 2-0 vs Bama (57 & 58)

Bill Arnsparger was 2-0-1 vs Bama

Shame on you, you know an LSU football game is more important than a wedding.
