I'm talking from the standpoint of how it's being taken here locally. You guys should be proud; this is being treated like a bowl game here in Baton Rouge. It's big.


WAFB- the local CBS affiliate- is running an hour-long pre-game AND POST-GAME special before and after the big game.

Folks, this doesn't just happen for any old opponent. The appreciation for what this game has become in the last few years is at a very high level.


And make no mistake- despite all the shite-talking we do here- the respect is there.



Just thought you'd like to know that.

Most of us with any maturity at all understand. Some of us with a desperate need to demonstrate swagger, as if the success of our program defines our own dominance in life, will not understand. Hopefully, those outliers will be the ones hit by the liquor bottles thrown by your outlier fans in BR.

I'm pumped too man! Bama's a great team, and if LSU shows up, it will be a great game.

Most reasonable Bama fans understand that LSU may win. Lsu is one of the few teams that make us grab for the hard liquor and Xanax. Lsu has the talent to beat any team on any given day, just as Bama does. We will just have to come ready to play and see what fate has in store.

Yep. We are fully aware. I believe most Bama fans will openly admit LSU has become Bama's biggest rival over the last 10 years primarily because each team stands in the other's way in order to get to ATL but particularly once Saban came to Alabama the venom from LSU fans took on a whole new level. If LSU beats Bama then most likely they'll be playing in Miami and vice versa so yeah we're well aware of the intensity this rivalry has become. UT and AUB are in the crapper and Florida is not a yearly opponent. I have a feeling this rivalry will remain at fever pitch for many years to come.

DOES LSU FANS KNOW HOW BIG THIS GAME IS?

Does Les Miles know how big this weeks game is?


Should be business as usual for the LSU PROGRAM. But, when you just are happy with victory and not dominating people, a win is a win!

Yessur........without a doubt it's Our biggest game in a very long time. I must admit though i'm a little worried about how Our fan base will be received and treated. I truly hope the LSU faithful will be some what cordial. This rivalry doesn't need to degenerate into an unmitigated hate fest. I want the mutual respect to thrive. Great post sir!

Games like this are what college football is all about. 2 great teams on the field with just the right amount of respect and hate for each other. I think it's going to be a classic

Seems like it's a big game for Lsu fans.

The rest of the country expects Bama to win easily though.
