    Hopefully, Tua won't be back.
    I have never said Bama doesn't lose any games. And I remember the bad seasons as well. That is what makes the winning seasons so much sweeter.

    But I am a Bama fan through it all.

    I have discussed them. I was a proud fan during those seasons. But no fan dwells on the worst when they finally do a lot better. Most of my conversations have been about the last 5 or 10 years.

    Yep, we are pretty much out of the playoff race.

    Gutsy performance by Tua. Too many mistakes by Alabama in the beginning. The entire game I wasn’t sure Bama was out of it. I probably posted prematurely

    But this has been a long time coming for Tigers fans like me. I am going to hate seeing Burrow go.

    As far as Heisman goes, it is Burrows to lose. He would have to have an epic meltdown of Chernobyl proportions to not win it
    I just WISH Bama was completely out of the running. It would take a miracle for them to win the championship. I just hope it doesn't happen.

    As Teflon Don pointed out, pretty much, but not COMPLETELY out of the race.

    They have 3 regular season games and, in all likelihood, the SEC Championship.

    But the chances of LSU losing to Ole Miss, Arkansas or Texas A&M are pretty slim.

    Yeah, the early mistakes hurt. The fumble by Tua and the fumble on the punt put us playing catchup the whole game. Great game though.

    With the pass rush LSU has, any QB that is not mobile is dead. I think Tua was the right choice.

    Talk trash all you want. It was a good game and we will be back.
    Coaches are catching up to Saban. He's still in the top with h.s. recruiting but no way he's no. 1 every yr. anymore. No way he has a secret formula. He's had a remarkable run. He put LSU back on the map around 2000 and for that I'm grateful. Coach O has a formula all his own which somehow works for him in Louisiana. He's home grown, speaks Cajun French and knows how to boil crawfish with the right spices. Best of all everybody underestimates him.

    Basically what Gary Danielson said. LSU was hardened coming into the game.

    Alabama is still Alabama and will be as long as Saban is there. Championships must go thru them.

    We had a lot of years where we started the season with a top opponent. Bama had season openers with Clemson, Michigan, VA Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin and USC during the various years under Saban. I liked that. Hated to see Duke as the opener.

    With Coach O, it is the first time in a decade Tiger fans wouldn’t take Sabin back. Saban is the Belichick of college football. People bitch and complain but in the end they would love to have him coaching their team

    You are right about Coach O. He is the real deal for LSU. Les Miles was a train wreck. It was unreal watching an LSU v Bama game knowing Saban had to actually cover receivers and not be able to put nine guys in the box

    The question is who can replace Burrow next year?

    No you haven't. As YOU said, you discuss the last 5 - 10 years. You ignore those others. That wouldn't be dwelling on them, it's called taking everything into consideration not just the good parts.

    You remember them so well you don't want to include them in an overall discussion. Typical left winger that only picks out the parts in their favor and ignores those that aren't.

    You mean the "top opponents" that went at or slightly above mediocre each of those seasons? Clemson (7-6), Michigan (8-5), Va Tech (8-5 and 7-6), and W. Va. (7-6)

    Funny you don't mention, although you regularly talk about only the last 10 years, the openers against the 1 - 12 San Jose St. Spartans, the 5-7 Kent State Golden Flashes, the 2-10 Louisville Cardinals, and the perennial powerhouse Western Carolina Catamounts.

    In 2019, the combined W/L record of Alabama opponents is 31-45. When you play only the teams in your conference, and the one you choose to play out of conference, that are considered scrubs, it's not hard to win lots of games.
