Aloha LSU ,
I agree with what you wrote on Alabama, but I think people are afraid of them or get weary when going against them, because of one, past years. The most recent probably being the Shawn Alexander years at Alabama. Also, another thing that they believe in is the constant promoting by the television analysts who continuely say things like this Alabama team is loaded with talent or this team cant be matched in speed or that they have a tradition of winning. Yes this may all be true, but that is just one piece of the puzzle needed to win. They most often leave out the other pieces need to complete the puzzle.
I know you are knowledgable on LSU and I applaud you in sharing your knowledge on them. Others just need to do their own work and not be caught up with what they hear from these guys and use more of what they see , like you mentioned
Anyways, I agree with you on LSU in this game , they are the superior team here. If I had only one concern, which I think can be a legiamate one, because it has bitten so many superior teams in the past, as well as me, is the fact that they are playing on the road in hostile territory. Sometimes being underdogs at home and having another promoted schools program promoted over yours, and also wanting to get back respect and show the world, has its way of turning games. Still , though , I dont think it will happen tomorrow, and I get confidence from your inside first hand knowledge of LSU to give me added motivation.
Aloha and GL tomorrow . CC.
