Bama's offensive line sucked shit against VT. LSU had the SEC offensive lineman of the week. Bama needs Cameron Robinson......like by-next-week-needs him. LSU will be fine next week without him.
Just one opening game, breaking in new players against a very talented and well coached defensive front seven. Frankly, VaTech played harder but just couldn't match up talent wise. We need Cam, I agree, but this is the number one player in the country at any position. Not since Cyrus have we gone after such a stud.
How you are still allowed to post on this board is beyond me. For as much time as you spend here, you haven't paid much attention. LSU's offensive line is FULL of young o-linemen that have success in their futures. Robinson likely wouldn't even start for 2 years. Tell me more about the Bama o-linemen that have succeeded in the NFL, or just name some Bama players, not named Julio Jones, drafted in the first round that have lived up to the hype. Rolando McClain? James Carpenter? Kareem Jackson? Mark Ingram? Don't worry, we don't have to talk about 2001-2008, seeing as Bama didn't have a single 1st round pick in those years.
Saban has a pipeline to the I-20 corridor as is stands now. Much easier to convince a kid to play at Alabama when the distance is almost the same as LSU. We lose that edge, something that cannot be understated.
Alright, now we're at the part of the thread where everyone goes cryptic with their "inside information" on the whole story. It's about time. I thought you guys were losing your touch.
Give this man a harrumph........ Well done.... Could not agree more. Same will go if LF chooses to follow. Disappointed sure. I realized long ago getting hyped up about recruiting is a miserable existence. I remember how excited I was we got Shep. Or how upset we got about McNight or other players we lost that did nothing. There are exceptions I remember it was between us and Bama for Trent Richardson. Sad we missed him after all.
