In listening to the Bama fans in the media the last few days I have been amazed at the level assuredness going into the game. Yesterday on the F-bomb show (I know consider the source) caller after caller repeatedly bragged about not just a victory, but a "decisive" victory. One lady even went as far as to wager her house (well when pressed it was actually her mother's house) that Bama would beat the Tigers by 14 points because Coach Saban WILL NOT let what happened on Nov 5 happen again. They are seriously treating this game with an air of nonchalance that we would treat a Western Kentucky type.
Look I'm as big of tiger fan as it gets, but I at least have the common sense to acknowledge(and I think 99% or more of our fan base agrees)that we will be lining up against a damn fine set of of 18-22yr olds that happen to be extremely comparable to ours, and if certain things happen we could feeisbly come out on the short end. Don't get me wrong, i will be devastated but I know the possibility exsists. This seems beyond the realm of all possibility in the Bama talk I am hearing, and I'm wondering in all seriousness if this is the prevailing school of thought among Bama fans? Also what is the potential fall out if somehow inconcievably Bama gives another away?

But seriously, any fan thinks their team will win and I have reasons to think that Bama will win but I also have reasons to believe LSU will win.

We will just have to wait till Jan. 9th and see.

Don't ask for rational fans after listening to Finebaum.

From what I've seen on this board, LSU fans are the most assured of victory.

Many fans on both sides feel that way.

Nice story. Just curious, have you read the sticky prediction thread at the top of the page?

Because you don't make it on the air with "Aww gee, I don't know. I think we have a shot, but they DID beat us at home. Hmmmm. Nope. Just don't know who's gonna win!"

Anyone on either side that says this game will be a decisive victory for either team is not living in reality.

Ya think? You sound like a humble fan but still seemed to give Alabama a slight chance to win. Anyone who thinks this game isn't a 50/50 toss up is kidding themselves. Alabama doesn't need "certain" things to happen to "feasibly" win this game. Go check the rant y'all have fans saying Alabama has no shot.

It was also interesting that Finebaum told this woman that if LSU does happen to win, Les Miles will have beaten Nick Saban 3 times in a row and went even further to say that Saban will have Les Miles tread marks on his back. The woman however was not phased at all.

Those Bama fans are no different than the LSU fans who say the same thing on this board every day.

I see just the opposite I see “LSU fans being the ones who keep saying things like we beat Bama Nov 5th and will do it more convincingly this Jan 9th.” To me more Bama fans are saying it will be a war with either team pulling out the win! I know we both have homers that tend to be off the wall so I do not let them color either fan base.
