08:15 AM ET 11.04 | If you had LSU tight end Deangelo Peterson in the pool for "first to land on the oppenent's bulletin board," you win. [Peterson] is ready for some football passes on Saturday when the No. 1 Tigers play No. 2 Alabama in Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. After a relatively quiet two-week buildup, the senior from New Orleans threw down the bulletin board gauntlet in interviews Tuesday night. "I think I can play a big role because I feel like their linebackers can't guard me one-on-one, and I don't think their safeties can either," Peterson said. "If the ball comes my way, I'll make an opportunity with it." And Peterson kept going. Asked why he liked the matchup, he said simply, "They're slow. They're big."

"Can't guard me" sounds more like a basketball boast!

If 'Bama's linebackers can't guard a pedestrian like Peterson, then imagine what Stanford's 3 NFL-caliber TE's will do to them in the NC game.

And all this time I thought the Tide linebackers were NFL quality. Hell, I thought both defenses were entirely NFL quality.

You know, I read that after LSU beats Bama this weekend that Miles will now pass Saban as being known as the best coach. Not sure of that, maybe fairly even, I still give that edge to Saban IMO.

You can't say that...you are displaying a LSU avi!

I'm stirring. But the Stanford TEs are legit.

They should keep their mouth shut, do not give them bulletin board material to help work them up.

colonel, exactly what I was thinking.
