The college football offseason is a time for optimism. Alabama football fans are not alone when expecting strong performance in an upcoming season. Check out almost any FBS team message board and most fans will be predicting the coming year to be better for their team.
The message boards for LSU fans are somewhat different. There is optimism about the new season. There are plenty of predictions about beating Miami, Ole Miss, Florida and other teams. There is not much chatter about LSU taking down Alabama football in Baton Rouge, the first weekend in November.
The game is a long way off and the Bengal Tigers have several tough challenges before the Crimson Tide.
