Sunseri is the only one really in question, but I think he'll be drafted when it's time to come out, he's only a true sophomore. The rest, barring career ending injury, will all play on Sunday's. They have prototype size and athleticism

Here's top 5:
1. Revenge - pay back is a bitch. 'Bama knows this from last season. It's human nature. Florida got us already this year.
2. Karma - Saban coming back to play against the team he used to coach. There's always been something creepy about this - especially from an Ala. perspective.
3. Battle tested - LSU plays close football games every weekend and WINS! Ala. game will be no different. Just a different color jersey. It's built-in to Les Miles coached teams. We will not be over-confident but we will be confident. Winning is expected at L S U!
4. Two weeks to prepare - We may get a few more healthy bodies out of the infirmary and perhaps develop a consistent offense thru repetition
5. Les frickin Miles - He loves these kind of games and to be honest with the Tiger faithful he was probably a bit down with all the locker room bickering b/f and during the BCS title game. They lost faith in him and it showed. Redemption time for CLM! Geaux Tigers!

Oh yea.... one more important ADVANTAGE:
We have the best damn defense in the country! By the time the 4th qtr rolls around I am expecting LSU to pretty much shut down the Ala. offensive attack - unless we are in prevent...... LOL

Brad Wing is no better than any of an assortment of sub-conference punters. He used to be a real weapon, but now it is hoped that he just won't shank it.


Don't think I'd agree with this assessment. Wing had a bad game against SC, and he was apparantly fighting through a leg injury at the beginning of the season, but look at his stats. Right now he is ranked 13th in the nation, with an average of 44.1 yards per punt. The leader has 47.94 YPP. Last year, he finished the season in 11th place, with an average of 44.37 PP, while the leader averaged 47.04 YPP. Doesn't look like much of a drop to me.

The thing that is different this year is that he hasn't had as many punts drop in at the 5 yd. line (might be just the law of averages catching up to him). In any case, I think that White Tiger might be over-reacting to the bad SC game.

Same can be said for most of our players but that doesn't mean they'll all play in the nfl. Most might get drafted, but some won't make teams and some will eventually be cut from teams

You are aware that practice squad guys don't actually play on Sundays, correct?

You don't want me to bring the numbers into this


I have been through the updated SEC Composite statistics and while yes Bama has a statistical edge in most categories but only by a little even on the offensive categories. Bama aint tearin it up on offense but when you couple that with really tight scoring defense it makes the wins look bigger.

Bottom line is the highest ranked team Bama has played is Michigan which was #8 at game time and in currently at #25 after being out of the rankings for last few weeks. So Bama hasn't played anybody.

LSU is playing with a lot of young very talented players who are learning each week. The offense which is much maligned is getting better each week. Also most of LSU's experienced players have a winning record against Bama and have a grudge to settle.

Statisticly,yes, Bama is the hands down winner. I dont think statistics will mean shite in this upcoming game. LSU is backed in a corner and Bama has not even been pushed - How will these teams respond in crunch time?

Les Miles. He's a good coach
Nick Saban also a good coach.

Les Miles= magic
Nick Saban= not magic

our d line has 4 first round draft choices according to NFL scouts. Some project Mingo ahead
of Montgomery as the first overall pick.However,
both will go in the top 10 in the first round so will freak(when he comes out) and logan.

Bama is not even close in talent to our D line!!!

Read will go in the first round Simon 2nd Loston if he did not have all the injuries would have been a high 2nd round or low first but now 3rd.

And what about menter and the two Jalens and Borrow.

OUR D IS VERY GOOD!

Our tail backs Esp. Hill and Ford, Hilliard is no slouch and Ware plays like Jacob Hester.

Who does Bamma have that compares with Hill 6:2, 230, 4:4 in the 40?
Yeldon? Lacey? Don't tell me Lacey has hills speed he does not.

WHO HAS BAMMA DEFEATED THIS YEAR THEY HAVE PLAYED THE DREGS OF THE SEC(EXCEPT THIS WEEK MOO STATE).

I'm not saying we beat Bama because their offense is simply running better. We have a hodge poge Oline.
