Excellent points BD.
The only ones that are building this game up are:
1) The Media (as is their job to do). Please don’t fall for it. It is a game that is terribly lopsided on paper in LSU’s favor. Most of us know the facts and figures. LSU has played very good this year and not-so-good at times. We’ll see how it plays out come Saturday.
2) The portion of LSU fans that feel “wronged” by Nick Saban. I have not yet been able to get any logical explanation for this from an LSU fan. Since we have some on here this week, can someone give me an intelligent logical reason for this?? Why do you want to, in your own words, destroy the man?? Was LSU in the process of “making room” for Saban to come back to LSU?? If you guys are truly happy with Miles at the helm, then why waste the time on Saban??!! This “jilted lover syndrome” that some LSU fans have going on seems completely baseless. The real truth is that the LSU faithful KNOWS what Saban can do with a mediocre team and how he can build a decimated team into a powerhouse (as he did at LSU after DiNardo) and the fact that it's another SEC West rival as well as being ALABAMA is eating them alive. That, fair readers, is FEAR! And it will take more than a 20 year old college student wearing purple and gold colored glasses to convince me otherwise.
Perhaps, if LSU wins Saturday, that portion of fans will feel "righted" and can move on, as Saban has obviously done.
I live with an LSU fan EVERYDAY and he has even admitted that he dreads the day that Saban has Alabama turned around and stocked because he thinks Miles is a buffoon that fell into that job.
I have never had a problem with any LSU fans (again, I live with one everyday) until this and every incident has been instigated by them, not me. I have nothing to instigate, because I am happy with MY coach.
I am realistic in saying that LSU has the talent and should win, but Les Miles’ comments after the LSU-Auburn game totally floored me. He didn’t know how much time was on the clock??!! Isn’t that part of his job? Isn’t clock management a big part of any last ditch fourth quarter drive? WHAT??!!
So can someone offer an intelligent, logical explanation??
