sign by Bama fans during game 1 @ Alabama:

I feel good about the Tigers winning this one. I know Trent is taking a lot of heat right now but I still like the direction the program is headed and it would be nice to finish this season strong with either an NCAA bid or a good run in the NIT.

LSU is also trying to make it 4-1 in SEC home games. the only loss is to Kentucky's NBA team, and the wins were: 81-55 over Ole Miss, 65-58 over Auburn, and 71-65 over Arkansas

Umm **** Bama? pardon my language but that enrages me. They are to damn cocky.

That game wasn't even a week after the NCG, so it was fully expected. And our fans would've done the same thing if the roles were reversed.

If there's a silver lining on the season, it's that we're moving into the easier part of the SEC schedule. All winnable games, so here's hoping we finish strong.

Gumps - most have NEVER stepped foot on a football field, yet they are all God's gift to the sport. Go bang your cousins, gumps, and don't forget to remove the ether rag when you're done. Wouldn't want to go killing TOO many brain cells, not that all that inbreeding left you with many to begin with.

You'd be cocky too if your team won 3,783 FBS national championships.

Wonder what the over/under on fan fights are for that game
