PS - The Gators play in the Swamp, LSU plays in Death Valley

Bama aint Ohio State lol. Florida may be rich in talent... But they haven't exactly been world beaters this season. They've played well in 1 game so far... and even then it wasn't the kind of showing that is needed against Bama. You guys are going to have to BRING IT!

I know... LSU may call it "Death Valley"... but that place is a freakin' swamp.

It's actually kind of odd. I'm sure that I've mentioned before that I'm a Bama fan (when they aren't playing Arkansas - then I hate them for the week). This normally hasn't been a conflict of interest for me for the past decade or so -- thanks in large part to Hootie Dale... But this year is different. I actually find myself at odds. I want teams that I don't typically like (FL, AU) to beat a team that I do. (Sorry, I'll NEVER bring myself to root for LSU). B/C that raises the chances for Arkansas to get into the SECCG if we win out.

...this is going to be a tough year on me.

PS: if you're wondering... I REFUSE to call LSU's home "Death Valley." Why? B/c I hate them and that would be a sign of respect.

Bama got past a major hurdle beating the Hogs and that was Mallet. No other QB the tide faces this year (in the SEC) can do to them what Mallet did. Looking forward, what are Bama's defensive challenges:

Gators- Stopping the run/short passing game
South Carolina- Stopping the run/hit or miss passing game
LSU- nothing really, Jordan Jokerson and "LESS Miles" will do what they always do, suck!

and that leaves Auburn. nobody ever knows what will happen there.

All I can say is that while Bama's young defense has some holes in it, they are still pretty good. So to beat the tide, your going to have to out score them. I'm not saying they will go undefeated again this year or that they will win or even go to the NC, but I like their chances better than I do anyone elses.
