    Incredible.

    I knew they were having him on but hearing Saban fawn over LSU when they were discussing the Georgia/LSU game made me feel weird and actually I was creeped out.

    Anybody know how much the Bama boosters paid ESPN? I haven't heard any figures.

    I hope this bites ESPN in the ass and the voters get it right tomorrow.

    Go Cowboys! Destroy Oklahoma.

    Didn't see it. Was he taking credit for building the 2 best teams in the country? It wouldn't surprise me.

    I only heard it on ESPN radio and heard the part where they discussed the LSU/Georgia game. He was so polite and handing out accolades left and right to LSU. Didn't even hear him mention one thing about Georgia. Said we were the best team in the nation.

    It was like "look at me, I'm so nice, you gotta vote for my team now, right?"

    ESPN has been leading the charge for the rematch, constantly dismissing any other scenario.

    Journalists should not be a part of the bcs polls.

    Well good thing is I don't think a single journalist from ESPN gets a vote. If you can even call those guys journalists.

    These voters should be disgusted with ESPN shoving Alabama down their throat.

    I really think it has an excellent chance of backfiring on them.

    I don't know but I ask myself who I would get more satisfaction out of beating and it's Bama by a long shot.
    2 types of posters here, one don't want to play Bama again because they are the only threat, while the other side don't want to play Bama because they feel Bama already got beat by LSU at home and should they win a close one against us they are champions. I see both sides but beating OSU is nowhere the enjoyment of beating Saban to me.

    Plus it's in Bama's best interest for him to pump us up seeing as how Bama's best accomplishment this year was only losing to the #1 team by 3 in OT...

    Makes me sick

    I agree 100 % with you.

    I am in the 2nd camp, I know we can beat them again, I just don't think they should get that shot.

    I always go back to the god awful scenario of a 13-0 LSU team losing to a 11-1 Alabama by 3 and then we're left with what? I mean, what do we have?

    Conversely, if Oklahoma State beats us, they are the true national champs. I have no issue with that.

    As they should be, but you and I both know the redelephants have a much better chance at winning vs. LSU than the Cowboys.
