In central Alabama (not Tuscaloosa, but not far), it's the same. It wasn't a contest on offense and the deer in the headlights look all night with Jefferson is, in fact, laughable. And there's no defense to that. I just keep saying "Hey guys, we're even now. Wanna play again?" They say no, of course. Or "Yea, in Tuscaloosa." Some have the Alabama arrogance and some are vitriolic about it. But I haven't found a mean friend yet. It's mostly on social media where they stretch out and act like they're superior. And all they post is "14!" - though I can only count 11. The headline in sports pages - "21-Zereaux!".

The few bama fans I am friends with all ask the same question - "What happened?" They are as surprised at our performance as we are. They thought our defense was great. But make no mistake - Alabama was determined to win. They were as confident and sure of themselves as any football team could be - and LSU was most definitely NOT determined. Nor were we prepared to play hard. Miles said it - he didn't know what to do.

It'll pass after while and I'll be back to golfing with 'em again. But this stings - and there's still no explanation that I've seen from Miles about why Lee didn't at least try. Even the bama folks ask why in the world did Lee not play?
I have no answer.

I know some people on the board don't believe this stuff is real - but I believe it. I live in central Alabama - for the last 30 years - and delusional doesn't begin to describe some of these fans. I'm sure there are a few LSU fans that fit the "delusional" mold too. But gumps and GA folks have them in quantity.
