L.S.U. At Alabama This Afternoon

Certainly today’s L.S.U. at Alabama (CBS at 3:30 P.M.) tilt is a big game.

However, one does not know that the game’s winner will be in the 4 team college football playoff, nor that the losing team will not.

8 years ago LSU won at “Bama” by a (9-6) score in a dull CBS night game. The teams were matched in the title game and Alabama claimed the crown, winning an even less exciting game, (21-0).

Today’s game with a total (perception of points that will be scored) exceeding 60, is expected to be more exciting. That is not saying much, however, I will tune in and do expect a fine, even meaningful, game.

Dont’a Hightower, pictured above with the New England Patriots, was on 2 title teams with Alabama, (he was injured and missed most of the ’09 season) including the aforementioned 2011 team.

He has played on 3 Super Bowl winners with the Patriots. The Patriots and Alabama, despite a plethora of recent titles, have never won titles in the same season.
