It doesn't nullify the whole tough schedule argument, but having an extra week to prepare for both teams makes your argument a little weaker.

You realize that both of those teams have a bye week before LSU as well, right?

Convert a 4th down. Make a FG. Stop a screen pass. LSU had plenty of chances to change the dynamic of the game last year. You have opportunities. Make the most of them.

Neither I nor anyone posting on this forum plays for the team. Not sure how you want us to accomplish this.

The implication of all of these schedule threads is that Bama would lose to UGA or UF if they were there instead of Kentucky. We just don't know that to be true. One thing is for certain, Bama would not be the underdog against either of those teams. You're hanging your hopes on a complete unknown. Just win out and beat Bama and you're still golden. Handle your business and all is fine. Don't handle it an there will be more schedule threads. I bet we don't see them next year, though.

Obviously Alabama would have a much greater chance than losing to Georgia and Florida than Tennessee and Kentucky. You can admit that. The implication is, more often than not, Alabama has an easier path to Atlanta and beyond than LSU. Clearly Florida has been a much better program since conference expansion than Tennessee, and it's likely that they will more often than not going forward as well. You can certainly admit that, right? I mean you're not going to sit here and act like Tennessee and Florida have been equal programs in any way over the last few decades, are you? The idiocy that is permanent opponents is the issue.

I always enjoy the Florida game and all big games in general, FWIW. But by all means take what a few hundred (maybe) posters on a site with 90,000 or so LSU fans say as a consensus.

You realize that actually happened in 2011 right? And what did LSU get rewarded with? Playing the SEC CG against UGA while Bama kicked up it's (collective) feet while their coach campaigned for a shot at the NCG. Furthermore, LSU then had to play a Bama team that was all about avenging it's loss with nothing to lose. I don't blame the LSU team for coming out flat. We should've been playing OSU.

When we play in championship games, we play like we have something to lose. Maybe that's your problem.

You're 1-2 against Bama over the last 2 years, and you've convinced yourselves that it's because of our schedule. Has our schedule been softer than yours in the SEC? YES. Have you beaten us and then lost the division because we played a weaker schedule? NO.

Man up. Or get your arse handed to you again. Either way, it won't be because of a schedule when you leave Tuscaloosa like a bitch this year.

Last time we left Tuscaloosa, we DID man up AND handed Bama's arse back to them yet look what happened. My point wasn't necessarily about schedule. Really it's just that Bama benefits from...well, basically ANYthing. Maybe that's why people bitch so much...

So, just to be clear,beating a team on the final play of OT in a game you NEVER led for a single second is "handing their arse back to them"? Did not know that.

That 2011 game matched the two best teams in college football over the past 5 years in my opinion. Thy just happened to play in the same division of te same conference in the same year. If you can't admit that Bama was the better team that year then you are part of the only fan base who can't. That 2011 LSU team was the second best team over the past half decade, but they weren't better than Bama that same year.

No it doesn't. Have you noticed both those teams scheduled their bye week before they play us too!! The only difference is they don't play those games back to back, while playing two of the better teams in the East two years straight.

If it had been reversed, wouldn't there have been 100k gumps singing the ever classy "we just beat the hell out of you"?

For the record I HATE that song. I think it does not show the class we want to display. I don't like explaining it to my young sons. I like nothing about it and feel it is totally unnecessary.

I'm sure you feel the same about Suck that Tiger D*ck chants too, right?

Yes I do. As far as I know, that only came from our idiot students, is not encouraged by the school, and in fact the band has been banned from playing that song, which I loved minus the profanity.

Eta: if you took the time, you would see in my post history that I blast the rantards who justify that crap.

In that case, based on your logic and actions, you must be one of us.

You claimed you handed our arse to us in 2011, Bama fans chant "we just beat the hell out of you" if we squeak out a win over anybody. Sounds about the same, doesn't it?

oops - I got sloppy and associated a different LSU fan's comments with you. My bad.

Most of us are all cut from the same cloth anyway (with the exception of a few teabaggers, tree poisoners, and piss balloon pugilists.)
