2016: If this LSU team can't beat Alabama on this night, when will it?

LSU can only win games of the century I guess.

You can't call it a GOTC if you turn around and get shutout by 3 touchdowns in a rematch

When Saban retires

Still weirds me out that we have lost six, probably going to be seven straight against Alabama. We didn’t lose to them the entire time I was in college, so beating them seemed the norm and to this day I always just assume we win. And since I have connections to both schools and root for both, it never really bums me out so I forget about losses to them quickly, which won’t change my perception any time soon. Anyways, I really look forward to next game. It’s always fun.

It's not just about talent. LSU is loaded with talent minus the QB this year. It's about gameplan, execution, getting in the other teams heads, etc.

Saban on the sideline alone is worth a +3 swing just for intimidation purposes. He is the best at getting the kids to execute and putting together gameplans. Hell we just heard for 21-0, he spotted a weakness in the LSU DB technique and exploited it on offense. How many coaches are that meticulous or put in the amount of work he does?

Yes you will be loaded for a while after he leaves and the pipeline will continue to flow, but will you have the same mad scientist/savant game plans? Will the next head coach work 20 hours a day? Maybe.

Appreciate what you have while you have it, the best in the business.

TM was one of the most dynamic playmakers in football that year but even he couldn't overcome a 5'8" frame. Norwood had half a foot on him and Saban finally let AJ play the game.
