The Tigers are coming….
Well, the bye week turned into the bye week and a half for me.
After the heart-attack finish of the Tennessee game, I had to seriously re-evaluate my emotional investment into the Tide. Because a grown woman crying in the stands at Bryant Denny 2 weekends ago, would not have been a pretty sight, and it almost happened.
But it didn’t!
And after re-evaluating my investment over the past week and a half - I’ve decided that IT’S WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I’m ready to do it all over again this Saturday. Aren’t you???? Isn’t that what college football is all about???
So, here’s what I’m hearing -
I’m hearing that this is going to be a close game. That it could go either way. That LSU is hitting their stride. That Charles Scott is a force - one of the best backs, if not THE best back, that Alabama has faced so far this year. I’ve heard all about the receiving corps, led by senior Brandon LaFell. I’ve also heard that LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson is ready for another shot at Julio Jones. I’ve heard about Jordan Jefferson and his ability to scramble. I’ve heard it all.
And what I’m hearing makes me nervous about this game. Anxiety is high for The Chick and it’s only Wednesday.
But I have to say after watching Coach Saban’s press conference from this afternoon that he actually seemed happy! I know, amazing, right? And I honestly don’t know what to think about that, because I love the Nick Saban who yells at the press!
I couldn’t get the video to embed - so click here if you want to see the press conference.
And I know it’s wishful thinking, but maybe Coach’s comments toward the end of the clip will shut Paul Finebaum up!
