re: Sat night: LSU-the better team, Bama- the better coach.

No, I'm making the argument that LSU felt they were the "better team" last year after being outplayed supposedly by bama, and how bama didn't get beat by LSU, but beat themselves.

And I'm sure LSU felt like they were the better team, but we know now that wasn't true. Alabama crushed every other team they played that season, including LSU the second time. Safe to say Alabama did beat themselves on 11/5.

But you can't say the same for this weekend, LSU played a truly inspired game, looked like a completely different team than they have all year. Were obvioulsy fired up because of the revenge factor, but it just wasn't enough. Even with Alabama leaving a couple touchdowns on the field and the performance of Mettenberger's life, it just wasn't enough. The Tide prevailed as expected, and has now won 4 out of 6 over LSU. Because they are the better team and program. Not that complicated.
