    Going against the grain here, but as much as I want to see LSU beat Bama, I don't get much of a vicarious thrill from having another team beat them.

    Logic aside, even agreeing that it's bad for college football in general to have such a dominant team, especially one that's so successful in seducing LA recruits, the fan in me wants to see LSU knock the bully down. Seeing Clemson do it, knowing that Sweeney is a candidate to ultimately replace Saban just doesn't cut it.

    Well of course it will never replace or come close to the feeling we would get by beating these assholes, but still, seeing them lose to anyone is awesome. If the Taliban beat them it would make me happy.

    Yep! I haven't seen the picture, but know the exact play they're talking about. Not the GW TD, but the TD right before that.

    The OL's of both Clemson and Alabama are light years ahead of LSU!

    That's the biggest difference right there. They're both far superior in both OL Personnel and Coaching.

    Both had True Freshman OL starters as well.

    Pocic graduates, so I'm not thrilled with OL prospects for 2017. If Deculus doesn't start, something isn't Kosher...........

    My sole purpose for wanting to see Clemson win lies within the fans of Alabama. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    To borrow from a buddy, "Alabama tears taste the sweetest."
