People are forgetting that LSU is basically playing with house money in this game. With the way the BCS is shaking down Bama has everything to lose with a loss here, and nobody is giving us a chance of winning. All the pressure is on Nick and Bama. Add an enormous chip on our team's back, two weeks of preparation with a bye, and a night game in Tiger Stadium, and this has upset written all over it.
get this: today is Saban's 61st birthday for one, i never realized his birthday was on Halloween Night, how fitting is that for a guy nicknamed Satan? and second, the guy is so focused on the process that he forgot his own birthday in an interview with ESPN's Samantha Steele today, he said: "My wife said, 'Happy birthday,' this morning, and I was like, 'Oh, I forgot,'" Saban said. "I appreciate people calling, but it really is hard to almost acknowledge, personally, that something different is happening, because you're in such a routine" Andrew Sharp of sbnation.com had this to say: "All of this makes perfect sense: Nick Saban is not human, was never actually born, and this "birthday" is for appearances only. And why even pretend anymore?"
here's another sportswriter in awe of Alabama, Chuck Culpepper. he writes: "A No. 1 ranking isn't even good enough. The evidence mounts that this Alabama football team is under-ranked, and what an injustice. The voters and computers will whine that they already have Alabama at No. 1, and...that it isn't their fault that they could not manage to locate a superior numeral -- but... Any country resourceful enough to invent the [he lists a long lis of things invented in the US], well … That country ought to be able to concoct a ranking above No. 1 for a team this competent, this tough, this good and this steeped in the championship knowhow of recent legacy. This would be no normal No. 1, this Alabama team that streams above college football like an impenetrable frigate, led by the mirthless cruise host Nick Saban ... it's football being played at a rarefied level ... "we're not working against other teams, we're working against ourselves," said Outland Trophy winning offensive lineman Barrett Jones. The aggregate first-quarter score is 104-3 ... Come Saturday is the annual big bout with LSU -- and in Baton Rouge -- but if Alabama plays as Alabama can … [and he just left it at that] ... Alabamians long since know...fabulous football when they see it. ... here, you do hear the phrase "second golden era." With two national championships in the last three seasons and another plausible, these frigate-riders revel that Saban and staff have restored Tuscaloosa as the national headquarters of tail-kicking. They probably should not obsess over their thoughtless slighting in the rankings." http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/40100584/
I dont know whats more sickening, the revisionist history that is oBama football or the self-flagellation for the god-coach Satan.
As all of this garbage unfolds, I find myself admiring the Alabama football team, but very badly wanting to see us keep the living shit out of them. Not because of what it will do to their team, but because of what it will do to jack-wads like Chuck Culpepper.
