🏈 GAME THREAD Alabama visits LSU on Saturday night

Which makes me wonder...How in the hell does Tsoukalas think LSWho? will score 23?

This is one of a dozen or more observations that have left me shaking my head this fall.

He's taking the time to mention two receivers who rank 4th and 5th on LSU's rotation in terms of production as guys who have shown the ability to do that. Neither have shown that this season. Hell, Chase has 125 yards receiving on the season and Marshall has 124. These are their big play threats that he's suggesting Bama fans pay attention to this weekend?

I'm going to walk away from the "Burron plays his best in pressure situations" because his best is ...

I agree... looking at the stats of the teams and the talent on the field... I just don't see where anyone can think this will be a close game. Really, all I can see LSU has going for them is that they are playing at home and at night....

I wonder how people would be looking at this game IF it was a home game for Bama...

Les Miles did an interview yesterday. He's certainly got on purple and gold glasses.

So I'm listening to Hey Coach as well.

Caller asks coach Saban about strategy if we win the coin toss in Baton Rouge.

Coach Saban: "Well, I hope we elect to KICK ASS"

He's seemed a bit fired up all week.

Just a thought on a Friday morning concerning the LSU secondary.

I'm reminded of the publicity Tyrann Mathieu was getting in 2011 and 2012. He was a very good defensive back just like the ones Bama will be facing tomorrow.

How many of you recall how Bama handled the "Honey Badger?" They went right at him.

If you're interested in more of the details. Pay no attention to Alabama's defense being ranking higher than LSU in many of these categories... They want everyone focusing on Tua vs DBU.

Josey..... Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.
