Could be the angle of your phone/camera when to took the shot. It could be it was taken vertically and the image file itself is in this orientation. Renaming the file should correct it.

It's DzynKingRTR's photo, not mine. But I'd like a bottle of that about now!
Is that mom single? If so, you need to keep in contact.

I am getting very nervous about the game. Can't eat anything.
Wish I was at the TF tent to talk football with the ones who are there. When I go to a game I seem to be less nervous since I am involved in the activities, etc.
Hoping for a win with no injuries. Roll Tide!

I think much of the analysis of this game is focused on the wrong things (our own JessN is an exception).
1) LSU has this awesome offense.
That's true, they do.
2) Alabama's defense is not as good as it used to be.
This appears to be true on the eyeball test as well.
Problem is, they stop there.
1) It doesn't matter if Alabama's defense is the 2011 defense.......this isn't 2011, and it's still the best D they've faced so far.
2) Nobody wants to mention that LSU's defense is a cut below what they used to be.
3) Alabama has ALSO never had an offense quite like now.
You never say the other team can't win. LSU might beat us. But bad analysis is STILL bad analysis, even if your pick wins.
Who did Herbstreit pick btw?

I love the suspense that comes before a big game with serious completion. So many of our games seem like talent exhibitions rather than a competitive game. So I'm kind of enjoying the uncertainty of the outcome.
Herbie picked Bama.
Herbie picked Bama.
The only stat which really worries me is Burrow's completion % under pressure. It's noticeably better than Tua's and, IIRC, is the best in the country. In a way, that sort of neutralizes your pressure from Lewis. "Close" only counts in horseshoes. I do think our secondary is the best he's faced, so there's that. A lot will depend on how Shy defends the middle. OTOH, their big worry is not being able to pressure the QB at all...
Herbstreit picked us, and you bring up a great point about what has been focused on by the media leading up to this game and that JessN mentioned in his analysis. Everyone wants to nit-pick our perceived deficiencies and gloss over our strengths and vice versa for LSU. It will all be settled shortly though.
Two things that were said that bothered me in the last 2 days by analysts that I’ve always respected, and still do. First, Danielson saying he didn’t care what Saban was saying, but that seeing Tua in practice that he wasn’t healthy. I don’t know the protocol in terms of what the TV people are supposed to say or not say when they get to see practice, but this seems like he overstepped his bounds.
Second, Herbstreit has repeatedly been saying since the rankings were released that we are out of the playoffs with a loss today. He might be right about that, but to say it so definitively when there could be a path depending on who wins or loses between now and the final rankings seems short sighted. On Gameday, Howard challenged him saying what if LSU was our only loss and we were one of the 4 best teams, and his response was we could lose all our games and still be one of the 4 best because we have the best players. It was a very poor argument, especially from him, and came across as unintelligent.
Agreed with all of this. And I'm worried about Shy. I wish Jobe had worked out outside so Surtain could be moved inside for games like this.
I don't think he gave away any secret. My guess is it's impossible to FULLY recover from the operation Tua just had this quick.
I need a copy of this for my home office door. Where can I find one? Roll Tide!!Your wife needs this to consult.
I think 4 Key factors/Questions are:
Can Lewis and Jennings throw Burrow's timing off even if they don't sack him? Look for Jennings to Bat some passes!!
Can Lee and Harris keep L8U's #22 in check in the running game....and especially on passing plays.
Will Benton and/or Kaho be given the opportunity to help with adjustments if Lee and Harris are struggling....esp Lee (lack of speed)??
Who will Spy Burrow on plays where he can scramble.... like 3rd/4th medium yardage where he either rolls out or keeps an RPO??
The entire outcome could come down to how the LB corp performs.
FYI I don't think L8U can stop our Offense without us helping them.
They gave up 38 points to both Texas and Vandy.... VANDY!!! They also gave up 28 to Florida who is not an Offensive juggernaut themselves.
I Feel REALLY good about our chances!!!!!
