Title: A Great Quote from an ESPN Piece Post by: ALTideUp on November 14, 2014, 01:06:30 PM Quote LSU coach Les Miles famously said that his Tiger Stadium, inhospitably know as Death Valley, is "where dreams go to die." Last weekend, the Tide ineluctably rolled through that colorful boast in overtime with Saban's frumpy expression never changing. There's nothing magical about Alabama. Alabama doesn't dream. Its approach is manifest destiny. It's a football dynasty engineered in a lab, five-star athletes genetically engineered for their respective positions uploaded with Saban's operating system, "The Process." Alabama has been favored to win 64 games in a row, and no current Tide player has faced a game as an underdog, per ESPN Stats & Information.

Title: Re: A Great Quote from an ESPN Piece Post by: Bamaphile on November 14, 2014, 02:42:55 PM When that quote was mentioned, I was thinking that it's been where LSU's dreams have usually died when they've played Bama. I saw a story the other day (can't remember where I saw it) that said that Bama has a higher winning percentage in Death Valley than LSU has. That's pretty wild.
