Kickoff for the "Destiny Game" is 2:30 PM Saturday afternoon! With florida now assured of a place in the SEC Championship Game, any hopes of a rematch and BCS Bowl rest squarely on the shoulders of our LSU Tigers. Our game with alabama (like florida, purposefully uncapitalized) takes on a much greater significance as each team controls its destiny. And in checking the weekend schedule, these are the only top 10 teams to meet on Saturday.

If you must suppress your disdain for alabama's coach, as this writer does, then don't just plan to sit at home or with a small group of fans when you can meet up with a horde of LSU "fanatics" at our 3 different watch locations this coming Saturday and let the cheering begin. Sherlock's, Fox & Hound and Wings, Pizza and More will all be showing our game so be there by 1:30 to get good seats. If the turnout is like that for the florida (also purposefully uncapitalized) game, standing room only will occur before the first ball is in the air. So bring friends, bring your passion and plan to join us as we cheer our resurgent Tigers to a win and move back atop the Western Division. Someone has to meet the gators and it may as well be our Tigers!
