Alabama win over LSU points to Obama's re-election, so say the sports guys...

And sports, it turns out, is also a crystal ball. USA Today’s Paul Myberg has compiled a few examples of sports results predicting the next president. The most interesting one, ahead of Saturday’s big Alabama-LSU college football grudge match, is that since 1984, LSU won in years when Republicans were elected. Meanwhile, an Alabama victory bodes well for the Democrats. The results:

1984: LSU 16, Alabama 14. Ronald Reagan (R) demolishes Walter Mondale (D).

1988: LSU 19, Alabama 18. George H.W. Bush (R) defeats Michael Dukakis (D).

1992: Alabama 31, LSU 11. Bill Clinton (D) defeats George H.W. Bush (R).

1996: Alabama 26, LSU 0. Clinton (D) defeats Bob Dole (R).

2000: LSU 30, Alabama 28. George W. Bush (R) defeats Al Gore (D).

2004: LSU 26, Alabama 10. George W. Bush (R) defeats John Kerry (D).

2008: Alabama 27, LSU 21. Barack Obama (D) defeats John McCain (R).

Blah freakin' blah...

You've run your pie-hole exactly the same way before, and Bama won the National Championship after your big, bad, bold, broad-brush, blowhard, BS which you spouted over and over for that entire season.

Look all you wish....your opinion about BAMA football ain't worth the cyber ink it requires to print it.

The chips were down, and McCarron showed us once again why he is a Heisman candidate, whether you like it or not.

I think this team reminds me of the 2010 team which was also clearly overrated when they played against Utah who folks thought was going to be crushed. When Utah scored 21 points in the first quarter and made Alabama look like a Junior College team......people were stunned. There are a couple of awesome offensive powers left in the undefeated column.....they are not Notre Dame or Ohio.

What LSU exposed was that Alabama's offense is overrated, and they were able to move the ball with good protection and routes over the middle in the third and fourth quarter. I am not a real fan of Oregon, but the USC game probably exposed how the championship game will be played. It will be offensive fireworks similar to the Utah game in 2010, and Alabama's offense will not be able to keep up. I have listened to Alabama fans telling Auburn fans how good their team was for a lifetime.....this year is going to be a big surprise for bama.....a big surprise.
