Yes.

The question is, is Bama?

You've used last year's post-season as an example of big game experience Alabama players have, but you're using the wrong games. In post season games, 33% of the tickets go to one team, 33% go to another and 33% are basically corporate. Rarely are you going to get much more than 50-60% of the fans pulling for one team. In tiger Stadium it will be close to 100,000 fans pulling for ONE team. The best example from Alabama's season last year would actually be the Auburn game. That was a true SEC road game in a hostile environment.

And as we all know, Alabama got their shite pushed in like the champions they are.

Has Alabama played in a game with as hostile an environment as they're likely to see this weekend? Not this year. Has LSU played as a heavy underdog at home against a top 3 team this season? Yes, and pushed their shite in. (No offense, UGA fans.)

In short, OP, you're doing it wrong.

You don't think the playoffs and title game was big game experience?

Played in Atlanta it had a heavy UGA presence. It would be like saying LSU plays in the Dome but the crowd wasn't partisan.

I mean I know 2011 was a long time ago but come on.
