We had an extra week to scour the bowels of the LSU message boards, trolling for nuggets of wisdom from the Tiger faithful. As usual, they didn’t disappoint. They fully expect to not only beat Alabama, but to win going away. Here, for your Hate Week perusal, is what they’re saying over in the land of purple and gold. As always, we’ve left the punctuation and grammatical errors intact.
"The last time our next opponent was ‘tested’ they choked away a 24-0 lead in the Iron Bowl. Last year or not, it was the last time someone took the fight to them and they folded like a lawn chair."
"To knock off what just might be the best team Saban has fielded on his home turf will be a pretty nice feather in Miles’ levitating cap."
"you enjoy watching Saban demean and belittle his players in front of the world. Saban is a douche, who can obviously coach. I would rather go to battle for a man like Les and am happy a man like Les as opposed to that Angry Midget represents my school. I would think Saban’s players fear him as oppose to respect. Players love Les and respect him. I hope Les win another title this year to show that true leadership doesn’t always need to come from intimidation."
"After watching several Bama games this season, I really am getting the indication that their Defense is on a mission to actually injure Offensive players. There’s a difference between a defender that plays hard and makes great hits ( LaRon Landry, Chad Jones, Craig Steltz, Craig Loston ) and a player who is dirty and who has a specific intent to injure ( Fairley, Kirkpatrick, Upshaw )."
"They talk about the great Bamma D but we don’t have to run the first trick play for it to affect there D. You going to stack the box on 4th and 1. How about going after punts and kicks or even rushing to set up a kick return, Don’t think all the trick from the pass want slow them down a hair. Here is a simple little trick just run JJ in so they change personnel and let JJ line up at TE and keep JL in the game to trow the ball."
"You play one game a week, you shouldn’t ever need bulletin board material. For the Alabama game, you should be able to watch the Sarah McLachlan dying animals commercial all day and still be in a mood to tear someone’s head off."
"Saban is such a dick. Glad that POS isn’t representing LSU any more."
"My wife bought a Maroon Expidition and put an Alabama tag on it. It has Bama floormats and all that garbage. I bought a NICE LSU chrome tag and put it on the front bumper with Gorilla Glue and screws. That bitch ain’t coming off. She was pissed. I told her no matter where you drive that thing LSU leads you."
"The media is treating bama like they treated the Republican Guard in Iraq.We will see."
"I almost pity Nick. In his heart of hearts, I’m guessing he truly envies Les. Because Les has more than shiny baubles & a big house on the Lake or in Destin. Les has a life outside of the fishbowl that Nick cannot comprehend or ever hope to obtain."
