To make sure this happens, bama not only needs to win, but must do so in an impressive manner. Oddly, they don't control their own destiny.

Bama wins they're in. Repeat after me, Bama wins..............

I'm sure the entire bama nation feels this way but it's not true. It comes down to the voters. Like I said, bama better not give the voters a reason to vote otherwise.

I'm fairly convinced we are not going to carry the state of Louisiana in the straw vote.

The best thing that can happen for the barn is for bama to be up 24-0 at halftime.The barn would have them right where they want them. Don't believe me? Remember last year? We do.

That kind of nonsense would never have brought home the "Golden Boot." Can I see a picture of that again?

Cam Newton is playing in Carolina this year.

I know I know. I just wanted to remind our bama friend of last years exciting game. That was surely some game , too. Can you imagine ? Bama up by 24 at halftime to not score another point in the second half and lose, at home. Wow!

That happen very often, Bud Lee?

Would that be the same Cam Newton lead barn team that zigzagged through the LSU defense, only to see Patrick the Peterson at around the 30 yard line, only to kick it in another gear and race to the end zone for the go ahead TD? That Cam Newton lead barn team? I remember.
