Is LSU really 35-1 at night at home in BR (read the stat on Phil Steele)..and who was the lone loss to and when did it happen ?...its an awesome/impressive stat if it is true,cant think of many other sports where a team has that kind of dominance at a particular venue

That's actually Miles Record at Night in death Valley.

LSU's record goes beyond that, I can't find it for some reason.

Also I think the only time in the last decade or so that LSU has lost @ night @ Home those Teams went on to win the SHIP! Flordia 08' and Bama 09'. I'll have to find the stats! lol

it's fun to look at at.

i seen that they are like 30-1 in night games on the road.Thats more impressive to me than any other game time stat. I also seen a stat that showed how many of thier home night games were cupcake games. It was a rediculous amount that take up a large amount of that home night game record. It also showed that alot of there bigger games are during the day . Mainly because of the tv contracts and having to appease to that. None the less, over the last decade it doesn't matter who they play or where. The bengal tigers just dont lose many games. Ought to be a great game come sat night!!

Hot off the NOLA.com website:

Alabama leads the series with LSU 46-25-5. To be fair, LSU has won 7 of the last 10, so the series record before that was Alabama 43-18-5. Hey, I might like this selective counting stuff too!

More to the point, Alabama is 25-8-2 all-time in Tiger Stadium, day or night. So maybe this "Nighttime in Death Valley" stuff has a whole lot more to do with the quality of the football team on the field and a whole lot less to do with rocking buses, yelling "Tiger Bait" (which has always seemed a bit odd to me, since the purpose of baiting a tiger would be to capture or kill it), little old ladies shooting folks the Bird, and kickoff being after 5PM.

I was there for the 31-0 beat down in 2002, and neither the 8PM kickoff nor the frigid temperatures seemed to affect Bama that night. Yes, Big Televen fans, we play football in cold weather sometimes too.

Still looking for a great football game between two teams with a passel of great athletes.

One last tidbit on the "home field advantage" in this game. Over the last 32 years, the road team is 23-8-1 in this game.

Of course, there's also this list:

1971
1973
1975
1977
1979
1981
1983
1987
1989
1991
1992
1994
1996
1998
2002
2008

The number of times in my lifetime that the Tide has won in Baton Rouge. It had happened once, when I was less that a year old in 1969, but imagine my shock when LSU beat us in Tiger Stadium for the second time in my life in 2000. I was 32. Even through the dreaded Shula era we are a mostly respectable 2-4 in BR.

Still think this is a hard-fought game that LSU can't score enough in to beat us - unless of course we turn it over or give up big plays. If we give up a couple big plays and a score early I can easily see LSU winning the game.

I look at it this way;

LSU has the revenge factor as Bama had in the Champ game in January.
Tigers have more talent at RB than last meeting.
Both teams have awesome O and D lines with the D line edge to LSU.
Maybe a better QB then last season, a lot to be seen or not seen yet.
LSU Beer
and Death Valley at night!

notice to all ******* bama fans going to the game in baton rouge:

in the unlikely event that alabama were to win the saturday evening contest, be advised that going to krystal restaurants in the area is discouraged. the baton rouge police will be on level one alert for any exposed genitalia from alabama fans in these locations. if you must have a burger and must expose yourself, note that a two yard "halo area" of personal space has been established around all other krystal patrons.

I think it's pretty clear why he has had success against Saban. Look at all the talent in LA and the talent they can get to LSU. LSU is one of the premier teams in the country these days. Any decent coach could have great success down there. IMO.
 
#500 ·
I wouldn't say that both of them have awesome O and D lines. If you want to give the edge to the lines you have to compare each teams offensive line against the defensive line or vice versa.You cant compare offense vs offense and defense vs defense. If you compare LSU D line to bama O line. Its a solid match up both ways. Bama's weakness if you wanna call it that on the o line would be on the ends with fluker and Kouandjio matched up with mingo and montgomery in passing situations. But Bama strength is run blocking which will slow down the ends in that aspect of the game. that match up is fairly even id say.

If you match up bama's d line with lsu's O line. I think it's safe to say bama has the edge there. Everyone knows this game will be won or lost in the trenches. I'm looking forward to the hard hitting collisions at the lines.

Only Wednesday and I am already losing sleep concerned with what I will cook for the game. I am leaning towards a fresh squirrel and rabbit gumbo with Andouville sausage served over popcorn rice and garlic bread.

How's that sound?

Alright, I couldn't get any takers on the ND / Oklahoma game.


I'll put up a couple slabs of KC ribs and fixings on Alabama if one of you Cajuns will put up some crawfish for a boil come next spring on your Tigers?

Death Valley is still there. If you don't think that's a big deal, imagine sitting in front of a refrigerator-sized speaker at a Metallica concert. And in back of you is a Pratt & Whitney jet engine, fully revved.

That's Death Valley during a night game.

This isn't just the game we've been waiting for; it's the game for which we've been doing a mission control-like countdown for months. It might not be the Game of the Century, like last year's matchup, but it's the game of the season.

If LSU wins, all BCS hell breaks loose...

I am happy to report that I slept like a baby last night. I guess sushi and Guinness helps out with that.

Franco, Roseberry is right! It's 12 hours to kickoff, and you need to be working up the roux for that gumbo!
