re: The Bama fans seem really confident that they are the better team...

I don't think any LSU fan is scared of them.

The reason this never gets settled is because you're all correct. Every group of fans has its share of sissys, braggarts, and every other adjective you can apply. Some LSU fans are scared. They wanted a coronation, not a game. I was ambivalent (a coronation against anyone but Bama would have been nice). Make no mistake, though, I think LSU was the better team on Nov 5; I saw Bama begin to collapse as it headed into the 4th quarter; and I think LSU has improved since then. I think everyone with a brain in Bama's organization knows they need everything to go their way to win this game. I expect them to take some rash gambles like Georgia did to try and steal a possession or two so they don't wear out their defense. I give them a 30% chance of success. Am I scared? Well, I hope the 30% doesn't come true and I worry that it might - same as every game.
