RIGHT TODAY. Athletes? Everywhere. Speed? In abundance.
QB? Tops in efficiency and a cannon for an arm. WR? Jarvis Landry
is better than your team's best receiver. RB? 3 that would start anywhere
in the country. Fastest, most athletic D in the nation.

Oh and then they visit UGA next week. Yeah, they about to be top 3.

6. Stanford
7. Free Shoes
8. Louisville
9. TAMU
10. UGA

in my opinion of course...

You need LSU to be a top 5 team, to strengthen your case for a 3-peat in case you lose a game as usual.

We are the only meaningful opponent you have left (I suppose Ole Miss could count). LSU's potential for 2 SEC losses is high considering who we have to play (UGA, Florida, A&M and you), so Bama could still easily walk into the SEC chip with that one loss.

But they won't skip over an undefeated matchup of say Oregon and OSU for a 1 loss Bama, unless MAYBE its a close loss to a top 5 LSU team. Although SEC fatigue will still likely prevent it, dem computers might save you (or us for that matter).


That being said I am cautiously optimistic that we are as good as you say, but our young and very raw Def has not been tested yet. Still a lot to be learned about them.

WE SEE YOOSE.

I pull for Bama and Bama only. If we win out, we're in the title game.
Period. We don't need help. Just calling spades, spades. Y'all finally
got a first round caliber QB to go with everything else. And I can't believe
y'all are doing this after losing 157 players in the draft. Unbelievable.

>We don't need help.

FOH.

You guys have made "needing help" an integral part of your run. So yes, if you lose a game like you've done the past 2 years with far better teams you will "need help."

And since your schedule is a joke this year, LSU being a top team is your best bet to strengthen the inevitable argument for a place at the table should you win the SEC with a loss.


But hey, as your entitled program as shown you don't even need to win your conference to be "national champs," so maybe you are right.

I appreciate the love, but forgive me if I simply can't take it seriously after we've played 3 non-conference games and its coming from a Bama fan.

This is the SEC, you ALWAYS have an agenda.

You think it's a foregone conclusion we will lose. Y'all may and probably
should beat us but we control our own destiny. Sorry you typed all that.
U must b mad.

Bama doesn't need to strengthen their case for anything.

It's just a reverse jinx

lol

why would i try to so-called "reverse jinx" them? I'm too concerned
about our defense and the ole miss game that's looming.

i just think it's laughable that they aren't in anyone's
top 4. with a weak slate of games, they will have the primetime
espn spot for the country to see what's cookin down there in the bayou.
i've watched them and they are crazy good.

we're not talking about an upstart team. this is LSU. they've been
consistent the last decade and have won two chips. how can they go
unnoticed like this? the SEC West is sick though. TAMU could get them
but I think LSU's D is more athletic and will be able to hold up
better than we did against that TAMU hurry up spread they run.

>why would i try to so-called "reverse jinx" them?

and Bama will be 7 to 10 pt favs

as far as LSU not being in the top 4...they lost a truckload of talent last year and IIRC started outside the top 10. their current claim to fame is beating TCU. It's only been 3 weeks, gotta let the polls settle in before we start making comparisons.

And I'm not overlooking the Knoxville convicts or Auburn or any
other SEC foe left on our schedule.

Anyway, hasn't LSU earned the benefit of the doubt? Bama loses
like 4 first rounders every year but we always start preseason top
5 until we prove otherwise. 4 star athletes grow in Louisiana like peaches
in Georgia. That's fertile recuiting soil and they have no in state competition.
LSU should have been preseason top 4 at least.

at ole miss.

they gave bama hell kinda like VT gave y'all hell this year, lol.

We get them at home back to back because of
the new scheduling. They are much improved.

I'm terrible at picking against the spread.

I LIKE IT!

among other notes of hyperbole mentioned. not even sure why I bothered to type out the obvious, tho.

>among other notes of hyperbole mentioned. not even sure why I
>bothered to type out the obvious, tho.

we got it all and we gonna do the thang this year. LSU is a step below, close, however not quite their

>we got it all

except for a good QB, a good RB, & a good defense...

even that o-line looked average as hell vs a powerhouse Akron team

cheating classless organization that any moral human being would be embarrassed to cheer for.

FUCK BAMA

WR Shaq Evans on #USC on 710-AM:``I've always hated them.''

#UCLA WR Shaq Evans blasts #USC on 710-AM: ``They're struggling, it's just awesome to see that. I hate them. So I'm just loving it.''

#UCLA WR Shaq Evans blasts #USC on 710-AM: ``This year, we're going to try to embarrass them, honestly.''

UCLA has an edge on O, but USC has a big edge on D

We will see if he is still chirping after Cal, Oregon, and Stanford

good rivalry scuttlebutt nonetheless

SC might wanna can Kiffin before that game as Mora might be more inclined to show some mercy if kiffin's ass isn't emo'ing it up on the opposite sidelines

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/09/19/report-texas-regent-talked-to-nick-sabans-agent/2839255/


AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A few days after Alabama won the 2013 national championship, a University of Texas regent and a former regent talked with Nick Saban's agent about the possibility of the Crimson Tide coach replacing Longhorns coach Mack Brown, The Associated Press has learned.

Regent Wallace Hall of Dallas told the AP he spoke by telephone with agent Jimmy Sexton a few days after the Jan. 7 game. Tom Hicks, a former regent who is the brother of current Regent Steve Hicks, also was on the call. Tom Hicks, the former owner of the Texas Rangers, the Dallas Stars and the English professional soccer team Liverpool, was a regent in 1997 when Brown came to Texas and was instrumental in hiring him away from North Carolina.

Two days after the call with Sexton, Tom Hicks met with Brown over lunch and told him about the call, according to several people who spoke with the AP. He asked Brown if he was ready to retire.

Brown, who had just finished his 15th season at Texas, said he wanted to keep coaching and the matter was dropped.

Brown, who is under contract until 2020 and will be paid $5.4 million this year, won the 2005 national title and lost to Saban's Alabama team in the 2010 championship game. The Longhorns are 23-18 since that defeat and Brown is under fire from fans upset about a 1-2 start this year after consecutive lopsided losses to BYU and Mississippi.

Brown has said he plans to coach through his contract. But three sub-par seasons and two consecutive losses this year have led to speculation about Brown's future and Saban is often mentioned as a potential target as a replacement. Saban has won four national championships, one with LSU in 2003 and three with Alabama in 2009, 2011 and 2012. Saban earns $5.6 million per year, but Texas — the nation's wealthiest athletic program — could certainly afford him.

BREAKDOWN: Mack Brown could be at point of no return

Whether Sexton initiated the contact with Texas is unclear. He did not return a telephone message from the AP on Thursday. Alabama spokesman Jeff Turinton also declined comment.

Hall said a person he would not identify called him, unsolicited, and proposed an introduction to Sexton.

"I notified then-chairman Gene Powell, who then informed vice chairman and athletic liaison Steve Hicks, which resulted in a conference call with Mr. Sexton," Hall said in a prepared statement to the AP. "Introductions were made and then I withdrew from the process."

Tom Hicks declined comment on the call and the meeting with Brown. Steve Hicks told the AP he was in Australia the second week in January and said never talked to Sexton, Brown or Saban about the matter.

"Wallace Hall brought this to the chairman and myself. Nothing was authorized by the board and the chairman and myself thought the board should not be involved," Steve Hicks said. "Tom and Mack are friends and talk often. They simply visited and just talked the idea through. It was dropped and nothing happened … It was a short conversation."

Powell did not respond to messages seeking comment.

Joe Jamail, a billionaire trial lawyer who is one of the top donors to Texas, is Brown's attorney. When asked about the conference call with Sexton and the lunch meeting, Jamail suggested Hall was acting on his own and threatened to sue anyone outside the university if they try to pressure Brown to resign.

"If there are any more, get ready for a lawsuit," Jamail said. "Mack has publicly stated he wants to coach."

After Brown and Tom Hicks spoke, Sexton was informed that Brown would not retire, Hall said Thursday. He said he has not been in further contact with Sexton and didn't know if anyone else from the university had spoken with the agent.

Hall is under impeachment investigation by the state House of Representatives and lawmakers have complained that Hall has tried to force out university President Bill Powers, who has been a strong advocate for Brown. Steve Hicks has been among the regents backing Powers in a public spat that has embroiled the board members and state lawmakers for more than a year.

The conversation has been rumored for months. That a regent participated —whether on behalf of the board or on his own — underscores the pressure Brown is under to turn around his struggling program.

Texas went 69-9 from 2004-2009. But the Longhorns slid to 5-7 in 2010 before seasons of 8-5 in 2011 and 9-4 in 2012. With 19 returning starters, Brown suggested before the season that Texas was on the verge of returning to national prominence. Instead, the losses to BYU and Ole Miss have left Brown fending off questions about his future every week.

On Monday, Brown dismissed "rumors" about his job.

"They've been swirling for 16 years," Brown said.
