How do you feel about Namath's guarantee?



This is silliness. Why fans get upset that a linebacker thinks he CAN tackle a RB escapes me. he is NOT saying "I've told my entire team to stay away from TR. I am going to do all of the tackling of him all by myself"


I am NOT a smack talker. It is just not my way. But, if anyone asks Dont'a Hightower if he CAN tackle Ware, I'd have no issue if he says "Yes"

Upshaw was asked about the LSU TE quote.


His response is at the 2:30ish mark.

why the frick should any LSU player be "humble" when talking about Alabama? Is Ryan Baker running for political office and in need of the "gump" vote?

I personally don't - just was explaining how fans of one school can take it personally.

If Trent said that, then it's also cocky. But at least I can admit it without sounding like most of you all did.

I hope Trent comes out tomorrow morning and says "Bama nation, Imma drop my nuts on the state of Louisiana tomorrow". Cocky... but awesome.

I just think it's funny Bama fans whine like little girls when someone doesn't praise them.

All he said is that he thinks he can tackle TR.

I didn't even 'click' the link. I said I would not have an issue IF if said "yes". I am not saying he was ever asked or what he DID say.


See the difference?


It means nothing to me that a linebacker believes he can tackle a RB. That just seems reasonable to me.


Again, i don't talk smack. Ever. But, I don't even see that as smack or insulting. He surely respects Trent as a great back. But, he is ONLY saying that he can tackle him. How is that an insult?

I don't see anything wrong with what Baker said. You have to have that kind of confidence when playing in the SEC.

Baker should say that after he tackles him he's going to give him advice on the effectiveness of condoms.

That link is hilarious. The PR guy steps in and says "We're not gonna go down that line". Courtney Upshaw was asked about the comments LSU's TE made about them being slow.

Courtney Upshaw clearly had heard the comments and just laughed.

Thank you. But some have been sucking TR's cock for so long that they think it is impossible to tackle him and to say so is "cocky".
