( 26 - 10 Win )
When I say the Crimson Tide has come to town I'm not
talking about football... I'm talking a menstral cycle.
Well, unfortunately for Bama even their uniforms look
like used tampons (GROSS!)and unfortunately for LSU
they brought some of the traditional pleasures of
being a girl... cramps. I think Saban handed the offense
some Mydol in the locker room at half time and told them
to stop being a bunch of sissies because it was The Biggest
Game of the Year (hereafter TBGOTY), and so named because,
according to Nick Saban, whichever game the Tigers are
playing each week is TBGOTY. Got it?
So TBGOTY was the ninth straight home victory for LSU and a
rare victory over the Crimson Tide in Tiger Stadium.
Prior to the 2000 victory the Tigers had not defeated
the Tide in Death Valley since 1969. The reverse has
always been true in Tuscaloosa. The visiting team has
always dominated between these two teams. However,
since Saban's arrival in Baton Rouge, LSU has won four
out of four games against Alabama, including two in Tuscaloosa.
Just as predicted, two of the top-rated defenses
came up big Saturday night. The game lived up to its
billing as a defensive battle. Alabama has the No. 1 defense
in the nation and LSU is No. 4 but this time around
LSU's defense just came up a little bit bigger.
The first half had me screaming things you just don't
expect to hear from someone so sweet and innocent looking.
It was hard to watch the Tigers struggle, especially on
offense. Its been a long year for our two quarterbacks.
I'm sure they get to hear all week long what they did wrong
during the 60 minutes of divided time on the field.
I'll spare you the details of the bad calls, missed calls,
and really really bad decisions made by whomever had
the ball... but I will say that when halftime came the
Tide had the 10-6 advantage. After halftime, it was a
completely different story and LSU completely shut out Bama.
Suddenly the brave Bama fans that were standing so smuggly
in the student section dissapeared.
So the rest of the game was spent standing inbetween Chad
(I'm so glad you were able to get a ticket!!!) and my friend
Joshua (whose paper airplane was put to shame by an ordinary
napkin haha! :P thanks for inviting us over after the game)
dancing silly dances and utilizing my bragging rights even
though I knew there were no Bama fans around anymore to hear.
Cruelty is all part of the game.
Tide Slur #1. - Roll Tide Roll! Down the back and through
the crack. Roll Tide Roll!
Tide Slur #2. - Roll Tide Roll! Round the bowl and down
the hole. Roll Tide Roll!
Tide Slur #3. - Close your legs! Its cold in here.
(said by the guy standing behind us to a girl in crimson)
Anyways, I had my hot chocolate and even though it
was cold and windy there's still no better place to be
on a Saturday night than Death Valley because when
Mike the Tiger lets loose a roar that makes the hairs
on the back of your neck stand up (which he did twice)...
then it's Game Time.
