but it seems as though the OP is trying to in typical LSU fashion create a perceived slight or disrespect when truth is LSU fans are just as confident in their team as Alabama is in theirs.
It seems like you are paranoid.

Game shouldn't have come down to that but its 60 minutes long. We were playing a fired up team in what is without question their biggest game of the year. We're always gonna get LSU's best shot as long as Saban is our coach. All the LSU fans I know really don't care about any other games besides this one. That leads to a team playing over its head in that one game and LSU and particularly Mettenberger did that last season
The idiocy on this board is reaching all time highs.
You are talking about a team that is 21-4 in SEC play the last 3 years playing "over its head" when it gives Bama a tough game or beats you?

Why are you so sure Alabama has no shot at beating LSU BRUH?

labamafan Why Do Alabama Fans Think They Will Beat LSU? Oh I didn't read all of This crap just based on the OPs history of flaming all things Bama.
Not sure where I have flamed Bama in this thread or when I flame Bama at all.
I am constantly saying how awesome Alabama is and how they are really good and a great team and how Saban is a great coach and how Alabama is better when they win. I also give congrats to Alabama when they do well and was one of the first to say they were the better team last year when they won.
Your definition of me "flaming" Alabama involves me thinking that LSU can stay on the field with them and it is not a guaranteed win for Alabama this year. I think that your definition of "flaming" is what is skewed.
Now, I was definitely "flaming" the other day with all of the "DECLINE" stuff, but I was really flaming that whole concept that has been prevalent here. It was not directed at Alabama per se.
Have I explained myself clearly enough?

1) they will likely be favored
2) home game for BAMA.
3) they have beaten us 3 of last four.
You didn't really think this through did you?

The only thing relevant to this football season is that the game will be AT Alabama, where LSU has done really well in the past.
I was actually hoping to have a football conversation where the teams were compared. You know, something along the lines of, "Hey Bama fans, tell me why Alabama beats LSU this year!"
So, I was expecting to hear talk about McCarron and their WRs being better than our Secondary and how their OLine will stop our DLine from getting pressure. And, then, I was expecting to hear about their strength on Defense this year and how that will neutralize any improvement we've made on offense. You know, stuff like that, if that is what the truth is.
Not happy about having to do this for them.
I started with talking about LSU's improvements and how LSU played them close last year and how I believed that this year would be a similar game that neither program or fanbase should just consider a win - or a loss, for that matter.

I am sure you do. Your perspective on here is that any question related to whether or not Alabama will win EVERY game they play despite the competition is considered to be out of bounds.

Obviously, it could happen, but what makes Bama fans so confident?
I was watching the highlights of that game last year and Mettenberger played out of his mind and LSU's offense went up and down the field on Bama's vaunted D. LSU returns 9 starters on offense and will be stronger on the offensive line than last year and will have an OC who is clearly more accomplished than our offensive line coach was an OC.
Our defense will be fine as we return lots of talent and experience in the back 7 and our DLine is very talented and will have lots of experience by then.
LSU will be a better team this season than they were last year. 14 starters back. 33 of 44 from the 2 deep. Everyone older, more experienced, stronger, with better coaching.
Alabama very well could win and definitely has the team to do so. I just wonder why Bama fans are basically certain that they will.
Discuss.
Too soon to think about it for me, but except for BCS Title game this goes down to the wire every year.

The fluke was November 5th of that year.
And therein lies the question. Two hard fought games. Two games in which neither team made silly turnovers from nervousness. Which game was the fluke?
Oh, and for the record.....the poster that said LSU is the only team that has played Alabama close consistently? Georgia has done well the last few times they have played. Of course, we don't play Alabama on a regular basis, so I GUESS your statement could be true.

Because the best WR in the league didn't even play last season.

I know. It's a real shame Dural was injured in the fall.

No heart in it? It was the fricking National Championship for Christ sake. If LSU had "no heart in it" then Miles should have been fired the next morning. The realty is they had heart in it, they were just totally outclassed by a better football team. The fluke was November 5th of that year.
The coach can only do so much to get the players "into" a game. If he does all that he can and the players just don't care, what more do you expect him to do? Can you seriously look at that game and look at the Nov. 5 game and tell me that was the same LSU team on the field? That they played with the same intensity? If you want to play it off as "Bama just played better", you have no objectivity.
As far as being a fluke, yes, Bama had better stats but that game was ONLY as much of a fluke as Bama winning the Nov. 3 game last year.

Just an egotistical fan of a school where many have the predominant and delusional idea that all other schools only focus on them and not the rest of their season.

But when they ran into actual good Bama teams minus 2005, they lost. They lost, bro.

Yes, it was the same team on the field....the EXACT same team and that was the problem. Les didn't change a damn thing and thought he would pull off the win. His famous arrogance refused to allow him to recognize how fortunate he was to win that first game and he made zero adjustments or plans for Bama changing their game plan. Bama did play better and smarter all around. I don't think there is any doubt that the first game was a fluke and I say that in reference to the field goals....not the fact that they were missed, but that the play calling even brought them into consideration. I can't remember specifically, but I believe that the number of touches that TR had in that game once bama had reached the LSU 35 yd line was a big fat zero. How in the world do you not give the ball to arguabley the best RB in the country when you get yourself down there? Again, not sure if it was zero but it was pretty dang close if not. Oh, and Mett performed better in that game than he ever has or will, even in his own wet dreams.
