I cant wait for this game. Man each day the hype just keeps growing and growing everywhere u go every sports radio and tv show are eatin this one up!! The rest of the nations knows that come Nov. 5th The 2 best teams in the land will be squaring up.There will be more talent on the field with either/or offense and defense then most teams will have in a decade.

ROLL TIDE!!

bayshooter,

i embrace jacob's nickname "the gumps" for the university of alabama's mascot. i imagine folks from the great state of louisiana use this same nickname for others they grew up with innate inferiority to. other "gumps" for instance:

-people who fight through disabilities....gumps
-people who support friends in abusive family situations......gumps
-people who teach music icons how to dance......gumps
-vetrans of the vietnam conflict, particularly if they won the medal of honor.....gumps
-world class table tennis players......gumps
-friends who support war vetrans with disabilities......gumps
-successful business men(scrimp boat cap'n) and savvy investors(apple)....gumps
-lawn maintenance professionals.......gumps
-civil rights pioneers......gumps
-extreme athlete distance runners......gumps
-inventors of pop culture icons and bumper sticker material like $&it happens and the smiley face.......gumps
-yes last, but not least, participants on the football teams(and possibly general attendees) of the university of alabama.......gumps!

guess you can tell my kids liked the movie. they liked it so much that they once watched the "special features dvd" in the set. one of the features was a pre-production meeting where director micheal zimekas was considering things like casting and location. the screenwriters considered having forrest grow up in rural louisiana. they were overruled by the director for the following reasons:

-"a mass audience will never believe a guys mother taking him to the bus stop in a pirogue"
-"too typical for a louisiana mother to have sex with a school official just to gain admission for her kids"
-"also too typical, hasn't every guy from louisiana punched a guy for insulting the love of his life as she performs in a strip club"
-"we want this guy to play on a national championship team that meets president kennedy! at lsu our only historical option is eisenhower(and the future bushII), at alabama we could pick from coolidge, hoover, roosevelt, kennedy, johnson, nixon, ford, carter(and the future bushI or bushII)"
-zimekas stated, "lsu would be good because forrest is a little slow and we could say that is the reason tiger stadium is the only field in the nation numbered in five yard increments!"
-"i fear that if we use lsu as forrest's team no one will even care!"

Like it or not this game, if played at a neutral site, would actually be the national championship, no other teams are close.........

And I'm a fan of neither team.......it's just the truth as college football stands at this time.

The day after we play LSU is ALWAYS a sad day in T-Town. That's when we have to start cleaning up after you. :cool:

Kidding aside, I am looking forward to some good food, good fellowship, and a good, well-played game. It's one of those where both teams know they could lose even while playing their best, and I am looking forward to it. The atmosphere surrounding the game should be absolutely off the hook.

Do you know that this is the first time in the entire history of the SEC that #1 and #2 have played in a regular season game? And it's the first #1 and #2 game ever in Bryant-Denny? As if we needed anything to make this game any bigger than it is.

Funny the gump fans were talking about LSU & mentioned the lack of education. Well, only behind Vandy in the conference says otherwise. I guess if we play a game of claiming more Nat Champs than you really have, getting serenaded to Rocky Top by Minny's band in a 3rd Tier Bowl, or celebrating a dead drunk, you gumps would win. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

lets just hope that the game lives up to the hype,and is played cleanly and not decided by a botched call by the zebras (refs)

It's in tuscaloser. It's expected to have a call go their way. That's Home Cooking In The SEC. Every team gets that benefit, so it's understood. Now the road game in 07 @ tuscaloser as well as the one in 06 @ AU were ridiculous. The zebras literally took the games over. YouTube "RefGate" & you'll see the LSU/AU game of 06. Donno if somebody took the time to do the same for the 07 game against the gumps, but it was unreal as well.

I hope Mathieu runs his mouth and Richardson runs him over. That guy is an incredible talent, but is a classless player.

Already getting the excuses ready huh. The worst call in CFB history was the no-call on the pass interference in the endzone of corndog stadium in 2004. Already down a TD the DB shoves the Alabama receiver to the ground and then intercepts the ball. If the call is made Tide up 14 and Shula gets the win. BTW Jacob, we love when the swampwater trash that is the LSU nation comes to town. Even though we are backwards, this event gives us a chance to look down upon a group that is more backwards than us and stinks to boot.
