Possible Issues Within LSU Coaching Staff Brewing in Baton Rouge?

But Alabama football players would not share that hatred for TN. Most did not grow up Alabama fans, and very few probably understand what happened when Fulmer conspired to bring down your program.

Don't worry, I have enough hate to go around :biggrin2:

IMO, most of the Bama fan dislike for UT comes from the Fulmer episode. Prior to that both programs feared/respected each other. UT was easily the 2nd best program in the SEC historically at that time. It was a great and proper rivalry. AU is a nuisance, existing to cause any problem it can for Alabama - on and off the field. Bama has almost driven them mad. Their hatred keeps them alive :smile:. Just speaking from a sports perspective of course.

JMO, but LSU clearly hates Bama far more than Bama hates LSU. Bama nation is somewhat split on its hatred for the Barn. Some hate the Barn at an unhealthy level. Some see the Barn as a little brother and feel more amusement than hatred. But, when it comes to TN, I for one hate that program with all that I can muster, and I think that's more common among Bama nation than not.

Hard for the under 50 crowd to hate Tn. They have been barely relevant in our life time.

Uh, they beat us 8 or 9 years in a row in the 90's-00's. That is hurtful relevant.

The only thing I remember about the 90's is Coach Stallings winning a championship the rest is a blur.

Back to O and his gang...does Barney run through them at their stadium this weekend and get the corndogs all aflutter or do the whos actually have a shot at the upset?

I get your point for sure, and you can't manufacture "hatred".....but I would challenge the under 50 crowd to read some statements by past Bama players relative to the annual 3rd Saturday in October. It rivals (probably exceeds) the battles we see in today's Bama-LSU games. It was nasty, street fight-type games, and was one that, if for no other reason than tradition, merits some degree of emotion each year. The Fulmer-NCAA episode is just fuel on an already hot fire to me.

I think the Barn handles them but it will be interesting to see how Stidham handles the real Death Valley. If he gets nervous and plays tight the corndogs may pull off the upset.

i have no clue what will happen this week. i hope the corn dogs curb stomp them, but i doubt that will happen

The danger with LSU is that you don't know what team will show up for the game. If the Ogre has them fired up I would bet that they have the horses to upset the aubs this weekend.

That would be high comedy indeed.

I am pulling for LSU in this game, but have no real hope that they might win. They get up for FL and Alabama. Do they really get up for Auburn?

I'm 41. I hate them with a passion. I was on Knoxville in 98 and witnessed their fans holding up 4 fingers as we walked out of the stadium....

It is a 2:30 kick in Tiger Stadium which I think plays into LSU's hands a bit. Perceptionally, I think the corndogs are better than we think and barney may be less potent than we think. The opportunity is certainly there for the Bayou Bengals but who knows which team will show up. If O loses this game I think he loses his job at the end of the season no matter what they do the rest of the season.

They likely will. AU is probably 4th on their rival list behind Bama, OM and UF. The problem in Baton Rouge is that if things start going bad, their crowd often turns on them. It's important that they start well. AU catches a break with CBS picking up the game, thus making it a day game. LSU comfortably leads the all time series and BR has usually been a nightmare for AU, but AU is the better team this year.

Don't think LSU has enough offense to beat auburn. OTOH if LSU keeps it close going into the 4th quarter they have an outside chance. If it comes down to a game of FGs, auburn wins.
