This is a tough game to pick either way. It sounds great to take the points because we're playing well, but Alabama has a habit of playing us tight every game. I'm tempted to take the points, but I need a few more days to marinate on my decision.
That is a much bigger number than I figured. Even this far out, I see this as a much closer game but they are stuck now because they can't create too big of a middle, they'd get killed.
Well I just returned from my first LSU Bama game, my third overall and I am still in awe of the experience I had. We were first row endzone and watched out daughter dance, and I got onto the field and I am now so much an LSU fan I can't even describe it. Magical and life changing maybe? I will tell you that one of the unexpected experiences I had were the people from all over the country we met who were there for the game without having attended LSU, or had kids there, but it was a sports bucket list for them. I am middle age, a professional health care worker, but feel like I need an LSU tattoo across my forehead or something : )
I was at the game as well (NE end zone. It was my 1st home game in about 15 years. We could not have picked a better game to go to. I graduated from LSU in 1975. I was there for the 1971 victory over Notre Dame, for the last second Bert Jones to Brad Davis throw to beat Ole Miss, and for the earthquake victory over Auburn. The start to finish intensity of this win over Bama may have topped them all.
I can't imagine being at those events in addition to this. I get chills still thinking about what I experienced
