Hope For the Best: LSU edition

In a game that always seems to pit two college football behemoths against one another for all the marbles, expect the kind of physical, old man football dust-up that would make Coach Bryant proud

There won't be any Air Raid, none of this "basketball on grass"...there damn sure won't be any of that HUNH foolishness that is all the rage with the nouveau riche of the college football landscape. When the Tide and Tigers meet on the field of battle, one can only expect one thing: old man football.

That pejorative phrase, used by many in the fast-paced, sling-it-around Kliff Kingsbury-ish Hollywood offensive world, is a supposed epithet of derision wielded against the traditional SEC/ old Big10 style of gritty play.
