Can you beat the best anyway, tigers?





Tinker

Can you beat the best anyway, because of a football stadium that is sitting on the banks of the Mississippi River?

There it is LSU Tiger Stadium,
Something is happening to me and I cannot explain it because the Alabama Crimson Tide is coming into LSU Tiger Stadium to play the LSU tiger football team a very important college football game. And of course everyone knows that this Alabama football team has the best college football players that have been recruited over the past four or five years in college football. Nick Saban strong point as a football coach is his recruiting ability to recruit the best high school football players on everybody top recruiting list. Nick Saban has recruited the # 1 recruiting college class in all of college football for a long time now. I mean really Nick Saban has won three National Champions, two at Alabama. So that is what Nick Saban does recruits the very best college football players when and wherever he can. Nick Saban is recruiting all the time.

So what is wrong with me after knowing that? Where is this strong feeling of competitiveness that seem to be taking over my mind and body as the closer I get near to LSU Tiger Stadium. What is this strange spirit that seem to touch people in a very real way inside Tiger Stadium? As all of us begin to get hopeful even after knowing about who the college football talent experts keep telling us that Alabama has the very best college football players. We the LSU fans still start believing that this LSU football team can go ahead and beat the best college football players in college football just because we are playing them inside LSU Tiger Stadium. I really can't explain the sense of enormous emotional strength that LSU Tiger Stadium does to us.
Because we really believe that.
Is this college football Stadium alive with the personalities of the people from the past and also with the present who went and go there over the years. A place that becomes alive with everyone just the way they were then, and are now. Together again in spirit believing in one emotion that if we try hard enough that we can really win anyway?

LSU Tiger Stadium is a real place that does very real thing to people friend or foe inside. I know this because I can't seem to ever leave the feeling that I felt from the first touch inside the Stadium. The emotion that I experienced because my Father and Mother first brought me there with them from a very long time ago. Everyone inside was cheering then just like they are doing now fighting against a bigger and better football team, believing that they can win anyways. I felt the fight in those people and became one of them too. How is this LSU Football Stadium made of steel and stone doing that to us?


Shouldn't we know better just look at how big and fast those Nick Saban recruited Alabama college football players are tiger fans.

A short LSU Tiger Stadium history from the immediate
past.

  • Nov. 6, 2010: Coming off their first national championship under Saban, Alabama was a few weeks removed from its first loss in nearly two years a few weeks prior, but still ranked No. 5 in the nation. No. 12 LSU pulled ahead by 10 in the fourth quarter and held on for the win 24-21 win.
  • Nov. 25, 2011: LSU was ranked No. 1 in the nation, and welcomed in an Arkansas team that was riding high at No. 3, led by Bobby Petrino and quarterback Tyler Wilson. The Tigers crushed the Razorbacks, 41-17, on their way to an SEC title and BCS Championship game appearance.
  • Oct. 13, 2012: South Carolina was a program on the rise at the beginning of this decade, and in 2012 they reached one of their loftiest perches when they hit No. 3 in the rankings. They came into Death Valley to meet the No. 9 Tigers and, despite a valiant effort, couldn’t pull out the win in an environment that had usually stoic quarterback Connor Shaw playing nervous.
  • Nov. 23, 2013: Led by Johnny Manziel, No. 9 Texas A&M came into Death Valley with hopes of a BCS bowl game. No. 18 LSU took them to task, jumping out to a 21-3 lead and never looking back. They made Manziel, the defending Heisman winner, look pedestrian in the process, limiting him to 16-of-41 passing for 224 yards, 1 TD and 2 INT.
