Not just a great quote...great piece altogether. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=2222450
I too am shocked by Maisel and his praise for LSU. Unfortunately I think LSU gets wiped off the field by either UT or USC. They are on a different echelon at this point.
Bama having gone undefeated every 13 years from 1966, 1979, 1992 and now possibly 2005 was kinda eery. I wasn't liking that during the pre-game show on CBS.
LSU would shut down Vince Young... we have enough speed at LB and Safety to neutralize his running ability. Without that, UT would have no running game. Against USC we could hang, but it would all come down to whether or not we open up the offense... USC defense isnt nearly as good as the ones we've played in the SEC...
Hates LSU with a passion. What do you expect, he is from Alabama. I actually responded to one of his anti-lsu rants back in 2003 and received a response back from Maisel that LSU was the 2nd best team behind USC that year bla bla bla and that LSU was not a true nc.
