re: 3/6 Schedule Matrix + Permanents

It amazes me that people consider LSU and Texas A&M rivals. We once opened the season against them when their coach was Jackie Sherrill. But LSU fans never considered them a rival, more like a warm up. Arkansas was never our rival either. It’s all media generated BS. I’m old as dirt, and our rivals ...

You are correct, but would like to point out that last year LSU lost three games to teams that only lost two games collectively in the regular season. LSU had no defense at all. I don’t watch and record every little detail, and someone help me out. I don’t remember Alabama punting, and don’t think O...
Nick Saban not only had the recruit players, but he learned to find quality coaches to replace the ones who got hired away every year. He retired and the new coach took over in two days. No doubt, this was all planned, and Saban participated in this process. I’m not deluded, Alabama will be the Alab...
I hear ya, Star Gazer. I’m curious to see how Veneble’s (apologies in advance because I don’t know how they spell their names) defensive mind set affects the outcome. Sarkesian is offensive minded. I wonder if Texas will evolve into an offensive team that out scores everybody, like us this past year...

No doubt that Saban had at least a small input into the selection process. We all know he had to replace assistant coaches that got hired away every year. So this guy is a good coach. Bama is loaded with talented players, and a big part of recruiting is winning. Going to the twelve team playoffs thi...

That’s an easy one. LSU vs Clemson for the championship. We spotted them fourteen points so as to make it interesting, and still stomped their guts out...
I too believe that we’re not there yet, but I also know that once the game starts, the stats and stars they got in high school go away. These players are going to get the chance to prove that they belong in the game, the “conversation”, and potentially the national championship. They’ll get to do it...
Agreed. We don’t know what to expect from their quarterback, but they are talent laden, and whomever plays QB will be coached up and prepared for the game. ...
Saban has offensive play sets to take the most advantage of what his quarterbacks can do. He is the best there is at identifying a QB’s best attributes, and designing schemes to make it effective. He’s won more championships than anybody else for a reason. He’s the GOAT. I think they have a good cha...

They are here to stay. With talk of Clemson and FSU coming, they might as well start courting Oklahoma State and another good team in the region. Make it a twenty team league, play a nine game season, every team plays home and away rotating every year within their division, east winner plays west wi...
Las Vegas predicting FSU by around 70%. I’m pumped because the football is finally back. I too see 9-3. But there’s never any sure way to pick, and too many variables as the game and season progresses. But like all Tiger fans, I want to win. I think I speak for many when I say that the program seems...

Yes, and Georgia too. I’m looking for improvement. BK came in and cobbled together a competitive team last season. I’m hoping they are building on that. I think they are. We will see. LSU has the talent to beat FSU, but for some reason they’ve got our number. This should be a good game, and LSU sho...

I’m interested in watching our run game. FSU will be the perfect test to see if we can move the ball on the ground. If so that should open up the passing game, and we’ll see how much better the whole offensive game has gotten. Geaux Tigahs!...

I wish I shared you all’s optimism. Nick Saban has produced more national championships than any other coach. So as he would say, this is rat poison. I do believe we are poised to ascend to the top most tier, but we still have to play the games. I believe Kelly is creating the football machine that ...
