Um... I think so, yeah.
This is the game that's been circled on every calendar -- in both Baton Rouge and Tuscaloosa -- since the day Nick Saban said, "What the hell, I'll take that job after all." And even moreso by Alabama fans, ever since Les Miles made his famous statement that LSU has a new rival in "F****ing Alabama!"
Obviously, LSU will be favored. FanHouse predicts a Tiger victory. However, this game might have some surprises in store for Les Miles and his Bayou Bengals. Nick Saban strikes me as the kind of coach who likes to keep an ace up his sleeve for games like this one.

OH HELL YES!!!!!!!!!
WE LSU FANS ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING BAMA.
(WE WOULD LIKE TO PLAY THEM @ DEATHVALLEY) BUT AT T-TOWN IS JUST FINE. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN A GREAT S.E.C. WEST MATCH UP. IT IS TIME FOR L.S.U. TO REALLY DIG DOWN D-E-E-P & TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY THEIRS. BAMA WILL HAVE A GREAT TEAM UNDER SABAN IN THE NEXT YEAR OR 2, BUT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE A NEW TEAM WITH A NEW COACH.
THIS IS L.S.U.'S SEASON TO TAKE IT ALL!!!!!!!!!
IT IS WELL WITHIN THERE GRASP. ALSO, THE S.E.C. IS BY FAR THE POWERHOUSE CONFERENCE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. IT ALWAYS GOES IN CYCLES.

Good video, even for LSU propaganda. I have to say, I just don't understand the animosity of LSU fans for Coach Saban. They should have nothing but respect and admiration for him. After all, he did, no matter what anyone says, bring LSU out of mediocrity into a great team. Why all the hate? The guy simply wanted to get back into college football, the LSU position was not open. What would you have him do? It's not like a left LSU for Bama. The left the NFL for Bama. Get over it! ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Is there any truth to the rumor that Saban may be heaed for Notre Dame? Someone said that NBC will kick to buy out his contract at Alabama and will offer in conjunction with Notre Dame $5 million.

Who cares! The game of the week is USC vs Oregon. Go Pac-10, your the best. SEC is soso at best. It's called over rated. I wish either one of those fake teams had the balls to go out to USC for Prime Time football instead of hiding out in the backwoods.

I agree with atidechick. Saban only has praise for LSU and the fans. He and his family apparently did not like pro football and when this oportunity came up he finally took it. We are glad he did. I'm sure if there had been a vacancy for head coach at LSU, Saban would have gone back to LSU. I don't understand the hatred of LSU for Nick Saban. Remember he did a great job for your program. Give him a break! He is a great coach.

Yeah this goes out too T.J., You must not know much about football or you would keep your dumbass comments to yourself!As for the pac 10 they might be good but it is a fact and history that S.E.C. teams are constantly more dominate. Bama alone has won 12 National Titles and been to more bowl games than any PAC10 team could ever do. So get your facts strait. Also the Bama LSU games will probably be one of the best college games on the T.V. this year. So ROOL TIDE ROLL

It's not that people hate Saban, they just feel betrayed. All fans wished him well when he and his family left. We just feel the same way Florida fans did when Spurrier came back to South Carolina. Coming back as coach in the same conference, maybe a little tacky? or does it show Great Coaches want to stay in the BEST the SEC!!!!! We just want to win out and show the country two years in a row what the SEC is all about, a 11-2 SEC team could still win it all. I bleed Purple and Gold Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHen Saban betrays Alabama and leaves for whatever reason, retirement or another school or whatever, Alabama fans will understand the feeling that LSU has for Saban.
Its like that girlfriend that broke up with you at Christmas....you still care for the b###ch, but hate her guts and everything about her...and when you toy with thoughts of maybe taking her back, you wake up and say heck no...she didn't want anything to do with me then, pack your stuff, and carry your but to the curb.

Cool video, good work on that. Best wishes to Dorsey, after that ridiculous, illegal block I'm glad the injury wasn't worse... but can you guys hold him out for another week... just to be safe??? I think the Saban thing is overrated also, since he clearly has many fond memories and tremendous respect for LSU. He would be happy being back at LSU, just as he is at Bama, or would be at UT, Florida, or Georgia for that matter. His mistake was going to the NFL, which just wasn't a match for his personality. Hope Bama plays well, but LSU looks pretty solid. I can't help but laugh at the comment that Saban may have an ace up his sleeve for this game. Guys, we've got Shula's recruits... there aren't any aces! Best of luck (not too much) to LSU and Roll Tide!

tj are you retarded??? usc is not the team they were last year loser just ask stanford lol. or ask arizona who took them down to the wire. usc is always a little overrated simply because they play in the pathetic 10 conference. now i will say that this year the conference looks good but that is also why usc will lose 2 more games. they would lose 4 or 5 in the sec this year tard.

Saban is all about $........so is Carroll, Meyer and so on. Why go to a high profile program if you are not compensated? I'm not saying LSU is a high profile program like SC or Bama, but after Miles goes to Michigan next year, maybe a new coach can get them on the college football map EVERY year, not just once in awhile. Notice the big difference in Katrina and the Cali wildfires? People on the west coast understand what class is vs. lowlife Bayou folk, any looting yet?

LSU has to win on Saturday if they ae going to contend for the BCS trophy and play OSU. BC is going to fall no matter what. They (BC) will lose a game. LSU has its hands full with Bama. It will be a great game. Got to give the SEC credit for producing some great teams across the board. PAC 10 and Big 10 are average at best. Tigers will win on the road at T, but it will be a war. Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!
