I am on a three-day vacation in an undisclosed location.
I am watching the big game at my home in NOLA.

Sheeeeeiiit. I am just glad to see two real smash mouth teams facing off. Enough of this spread crap. If you got the talent there ain't no need for pitch, flip and trick no huddle Tomfoolery. Can't wait to see if " the honey badger" (high or not) can make a play.

Haha you gotta love Les.....IIRC his first 4th down at LSU was a fake punt.

The Penguins are in first place.....as are the Steelers. Just thought I'd throw that into the mix.

Can you translate any of what you just said for those of us born South of the Mason-Dixon?

Here is the game analysis:
Alabama has some great interior lineman on both sides of the ball. It has a game-breaking returner/receiver. The QB is going to be a really good one, and is on his way this year. The LBs are really, really good. The secondary has one or two future NFLers. #3 would start for 25 NFL teams.
Nick Saban has never out-coached anyone on game-day. He is a good schemer, and a great CB coach. He works the refs well since he has been at 'Bama, and has gathered a group of talented players.
The crowd cheers at pre-game video like some fans do at a during-the-game winning play. The refs never gave the other team a game at Bryant-Denny.
LSU is three deep in the D-Line, and Mingo is a freak of nature. The LBs are ok, but are not nearly the players that Alabama's are. The secondary has the best corner in the country in Mo Claiborne, and the best pest/playmaker in The Honey Badger. The 2 QB system gives teams a lot to prepare for, and are different enough to break-up a bad rut of possessions. Ruben Randle is a great player, and there are at least 5 other really good WRs. Our 6th string TB, Hilliard, may get 8 carries.
Les Miles—believe it or not—is a pretty conservative coach. He will throw a trick call out there, and no doubt he has bigger ones than Nicky. He has no idea when to call a time out. He is a great recruiter, and has more future NFLers on this team then any LSU team in history.
If LSU wins or ties the turnover battle, and doesn't get hosed on any calls like the one below, LSU by 8. Otherwise it is life and death with a slight edge to Bama.

A Serious and realistic look at how LSU and Alabama match up
Quarterback - LSU has Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson, Alabama has AJ McCarron. Lee is smarter than McCarron and better looking. Jefferson is stronger and while he should not have been in a bar fight, much overlooked is the fact he won the fight. McCarron's judgment has to be in question with the tattoo of Jesus and his "bama boy" nickname that covers his whole chest. Note to self - if I get drunk and want a tattoo go for small sailboat on ankle instead of religious mural on chest. Note to McCarron - Jesus does not like Alabama football, if he did would he let the spawn of satan be their coach? Advantage - LSU
Running back - Alabama has a freight train Heisman favorite in Trent Richardson. LSU is deeper than the Mariana trench at running back with Ware, Blue, Ford, Hilliard and McGee. LSU has student trainers who could start at running back for most schools. Advantage - LSU
Wide receiver - Alabama has the alliterative Marquis Maze and LSU has the equally alliterative Reuben Randle. Both receivers run really rad routes. LSU has Russell Shepherd and Odell Beckham Jr in their three receiver set. I don't know who else Alabama has and am too lazy to look it up. Miles has offered Odell Beckham III a scholarship and he hasn't even been born yet. Advantage - LSU
Offensive line - Alabama has NFL first round draft pick to be Barrett Jones at one tackle and probable future NFL tackle DJ Fluker at the other. Fluker is no fluke. LSU has T-Bob who grew up playing catch with his dad while facing the other way. LSU and Alabama have more road graders on there respective offensive lines than a John Deere dealership. Alabama's starting line weights a combined 1524 pounds, LSU's weighs 1525. Advantage - LSU (by one pound)
Defensive line - How fast is Barkevious Mingo? He missed the bus to the Mississippi State game, ran to Starkville and got there first. The Justice League of America put the Flash on waivers and offered Mingo. The Fantastic Four has talked to Miles about trading the Thing for the Freak. Advantage - LSU
Linebacker - Three of the four Alabama linebackers will probably be NFL first rounders, Donta Hightower, Nico Johnson and Courtney Upshaw. It is hard to say if any of the LSU linebackers will get drafted and two of them are converted safeties. You still have to favor LSU. Advantage - slight LSU
Defensive backs - Both teams have NFL probable first round picks everywhere in their starting secondary. Bama has Barron and Kirkpatrick, LSU Clainborne and Mathieu. The difference is LSU has NFL bound nickel and dime backs. Advantage - LSU
Cheergirls - Alabama has the Crimsonettes and LSU the Golden Girls. I am no big fan of Alabama to be sure, but like all southern states they have hot women. The difference is that the Crimsonettes are baton twirlers and are chosen based on their timing and coordination. Golden girls are chosen solely on hotness which is the only talent required for the job. Does anyone really care that they cannot twirl? Advantage - LSU
Bands - Alabama has the million dollar band which I guess was a big deal fifty years ago. Half the coon asses going to this game from Louisiana will be driving custom made buses worth more than a million. LSU's band plays neck and get crunk. Advantage - LSU
Coaches - LSU has a really good coach who is cool and says all kinds of whacked out stuff no one can understand. Alabama has a really good coach who is a dick. Advantage - LSU
Prediction: Miles goes for two with time expired for a 22-21 win.

The Honey Badger will be picked on. The Alabama offense is headed his way. He is the weak link.
