2012 - SEBASTIAN'S BCS TAKE LIVE FROM NOLA

  

Thank you, Joker...I will take it from here and I'm bringing my boy (from Gadsden if you're keeping score), Yelawolf, along since I see flyers for the dude all over the place down here.  One thing i have learned from perusing sites such as Rivals, 247 Sports, and others is that (no one knows that the hell they are talking about) the "cool" thing to do is to have an "inside guy" in the program that provides you with all the information that only people "inside" the program have.  Oh, it's thrilling if you haven't had the privilege, especially when you realize that pretty much everyone with such info is full of it.  But, nevertheless, my "insider" guy has given me a nugget of info and, because I am (awesome) a nice guy, I will give you a little insight as to the speech Coach Nick Saban (CNS to the cool kids on "THE Board") will be giving come Monday night.  

"Take a wisten..."

I don't know about you but THIS guy is pumped...and an American...with a mean on.

 

So are these guys I'm sure:

 

So...how do you break down a game that the Joker and I have already broken down?  Well, to be honest with you, as was alluded to by El Jokero, these are not exactly the same teams, but you just don't.  This game is going to be crazy.  The folks down here are nuts.  Bama fans are WELL represented is all I will say, but, as you can imagine, there is a lot of purple and yellow as well.  We know the teams, we know the players and we know these boys are going to be pumped up beyond belief. Hell, if they are half as pumped as the fans, this game could get dangerous in a hurry.  Alas, I see this game coming down to one thing and one thing only: 

EXPERIENCE

Both teams have great defenses, good coaches, and big ass boys in the trenches.  We can break down stats and look at the game from every angle but, as we saw in November, the stats don't make field goals and don't put points on the board.  If they did, Alabama would have won...but they didn't...period.  What will be different this time I hear you saying.  Well, I will tell you...

A good chunk of the team that will take the field for the Tide tonight played two years ago in the BCS Championship Game in Pasadena.  They won't be phased by all the hoopla and giving Saban six weeks to prepare the boys is a crazy advantage.  Nothing against LSU but I just don't see them being able to take down the Tide twice in the same season.  Both teams will play their hearts out but, in the end, I just think that the Tide will be too much.  

So, what's the bottom line?  If Alabama plays the way they should (and they let AJ McCarron throw passes and not Maze), Alabama will hoist the crystal and win yet another BCS crown.  If they don't play well, anything is possible.  LSU is a beast and, if you give Les Miles and inch, he will take more than a mile (pun anyone?).  The dude is a good coach (as much as I hate to say it) and he has a stable of athletes.  It's going to be the hardest hitting bowl game possibly in the history of college football.  This town is electric and that can only translate to the players being amped to a dangerous level.  I can't wait for the opening kickoff because we are all in for a treat.  However, when the final whistle blows, the scoreboard will read something like this:

ALABAMA            28                        

LSU                     13

 

That's correct, Coach.

Let's get it on!  Everyone enjoy the game and here's to hoping the losing team's fanbase doesn't burn down New Orleans tonight.  You think I'm kidding...

We shall see...

To all a good night!

As you were,

SEBASTIAN
