LSU's excuse for losing to Bama at home when A&M beat them on the road is that LSU caused Bama to be tired.

We hove to throw out all the other "factors" and focus ONLY on that one factor. Forget home field advantage. Forget LSU's bye week. No. The ONLY difference was that LSU made Bama tired. That's why A&M beat Bama and LSU couldn't. That's what we keep hearing.

There's a difference between being tired and undisciplined/unfocused/hungover. If Alabama was tired, then why didn't A&M score several more touchdowns after the 1st quarter? Was Alabama magically not tired after A&M's explosive first quarter? No. You used the wrong word. AJ was off his game and banged up, and that was really the difference between a win and a loss. Two underthrown deep balls resulted in turnovers on the following set of of downs.

Yes we all know, we have heard it since the game... Alabama decided before the game, in a pact with LSU, that they would lose the game vs A&M on purpose (knowing that one lose would still get them to the Natty), included in this part of the agreement was the fact that every LSU fan would have to bring up they fact that Bama ONLY lost because they were tired from LSU. In return LSU would drop the game to Bama on purpose as well, but actually "show up to play" against A&M. Thus solidifying 2nd in the west for LSU, Bama in the Natty and A&M finishing third.

So because of this agreement:

1. A&M beating Bama was obviously going to happen. I mean you cant break the first part of the agreement. You signed it! A&M didnt play well at all right? No... absolutely not... This is their first year in the SEC... they cant just walk into the SEC and play THE ALABAMA FRICKING CRIMSON TIDE and win.. thats proposterous.. How dare they hang with Florida with 4 quarters or hang with LSU all game... this was obviously ALL A CONSPIRACY!

2. LSU gets to continue to boast their own ego knowing that THEY ARE THE ONLY REASON A&M beat Bama... Had it not been for the physical play Bama would have been playing their 3rd string in the second half against A&M.

3. A&M is still a bad football program. All SEC teams should mark that W in permanent marker on the schedule they have hanging in their moms basement. Be careful not to get the cheetoh residue from your fingers on it though. Wouldnt want to ruin such a thing a beauty as a premarked schedule full of "W"s.
