LSU Really Did Not Win On Nov 5th and Bama is gonna win the rematch." I dont think there is a single Tiger Fan who has not heard this since that game. This thread is dedicated to all those who have expressed that sentiment either before or since that game. In no particular order.
Who ya got? (If you think the way media treats NOV 5 and the rematch is disrespectful to LSU, give examples and names in the Media Thanks...)
1). Phil Steele
Picked Bama in the Pre Season, Nov 5th, and now in the Rematch.
Says He still thinks they are the better team.
2). Robert Smith - claimed Bama outplayed LSU. "Bama is still the best team in the SEC" and are better now than they were on Nov 5th. Saban will correct the mistakes better than Les Miles and his coaches will. Said he stakes his reputation on Bama winning the MNC this year. (Said this on Dec 10) Also "Bama moved the ball very well against LSU."
3). Mark May "LSU played like BAMA and BAMA played like LSU because BAMA doesn't make mistakes!" Bama left 16 points on the field and he doesnt see that happening again.
4). Herbstreit "Alabama outplayed LSU all game long"
5) John Ritchie On Sports Nation saying that Bama won the game between them and LSU. He said that it was because bama had no kicking game.
6). Colin Cowherd "Bama will beat LSU in the BCSCG cause everybody told them they dont belong in it." He said he thinks they are the better team.
7). Lou Holts "Bama is the better team"
8). Todd Blackledge "Alabama should have beaten LSU on Nov 5th."
9). Mel Kiper Says coming away from the Nov 5th game he felt bama was the better team.
Non Media Members but folks some would consider Note Worthy
1). Coach Vince Dooley "I still believe Alabama would win two out of three times,'' Dooley said. "I think Alabama is a little better. It was just a classic, between two of the best teams, just physical athletes, that I can remember at one time in a season.''
2). Coach John Cooper "It was a great defensive game, two great teams, very conservative game plans,'' Cooper said. "I still think Alabama was the best team but didn't win that game. I think if they played five times, Alabama would win three of them.''
3). Marquis Maze Bama WR- "We are still the best team in the country," Alabama wide receiver Marquis Maze said. "If we played them again, we wouldn't lose."
4). Darius Hanks Bama WR- "We are still the better team"
5). Jay Kornegay Vegas Spots Book “I believe Alabama is a slightly better team than LSU,” said. “We kind of felt that the perception was LSU was going to be a favorite. But if there wasn’t another book in this world, we probably would have put up Alabama -1.”
