Here we sit less than a year removed from the LSU Tigers winning their second BCS championship in the last 5 years. Yet, across the nation, there are still questions posed by college football fans when they look at LSU as a whole.
When Alabama faces LSU in late November there is going to be a lot of fanfare regarding the match-up. The media will, with no doubt, publicize this game as the “return of Nick Saban to Death Valley.” A lot of the LSU fans will jump on this media bandwagon as they re-live the bitter disappointment, some the anger and others the realization, that Saban accepting the Alabama job meant the Tide finally had a good coach at their helm. Some Alabama fans will follow the lead of the Tiger faithful and get caught up in the smaller stories that will revolve around this game. Others, hopefully the majority, will look at this game in terms of the bigger picture. A picture that could very well have the Tide battling for the vacant spot left in Atlanta for the SEC West division winner.
I’ll find myself disappointed in some of the Bama fans wanting to talk about Les Miles and his coaching ability, or in their eyes “lack of coaching ability.” All of this in spite of a great SEC record in terms of wins vs losses and now a coach having hardware to support the notion he’s done a good job in Baton Rouge.
