What was the feel around here last year (re: Bama v Clemson)?

A lot of confidence in Bama

I thought Bama would win fairly easily (about 10 pts) but wouldn't have been super shocked had Clemson pulled the upset (because they were a great team too). Didn't see the arse kicking coming at all.

We had a lot more support from LSU fans last year.

It does feel similar from the outside, but this year, Clempson is the defending national champ, not LSU. Also, clempson doesn’t have 4 returning DL players that opted to forego first or second day money

Yes that’s also an advantage for LSU

So Clemson is the underdog just like last year (LSU favored by 6 - Bama was favored by 6 last year), but Clemson is Bama this year?

It was the same ole same. I was a lot more scared of that Bama team than I am of LSU

I say LSU blows them out this year. Hope I’m wrong

We do too! is that a misprint?

Or a 23 year old QB.

I keep on hearing this fact repeated as if it’s the ultimate unfair advantage of some kind as if LSU has the entire squad shooting steroids or playing with 12 players on the field every play.

You realize this age thing isn’t that unusual right? Plenty of QBs in CFB over the years have played pro baseball before going back to college, west coast players do Morman missions, fifth year seniors and the new transfer portal etc etc.

Another words, if LSU wins tonight their isn’t going to be an asterisk on the the troohy because Joe Burrow is gasp 23 years old. Frankly it seems a bit bizarre as if your trying to comfort yourself about the coming game.

Most SEC fans were rooting for Clemson, but thought Bama would win.
