Bigger than one coach: The LSU-Alabama football game has moved beyond just the ire that Tiger fans have about the Crimson Tide's coach, so Mark McCarter, a columnist for the Huntsville (Ala.) Times says it's time to drop the "Saban Bowl" tag. McCarter says the talk around Saturday's contest isn't about Saban, but "what it should be about: A monumental football game." For the first time in 10 years, LSU and Alabama are both ranked in the top 10 going into the game, with a trip to the SEC Championship Game—and a shot at BCS championship—on the line. "Nothing's forgotten and little is forgiven among the LSU fans, but life has moved on," McCarter says. Read the column here. The LSU-Alabama game kicks off at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa in a game that will be televised on CBS. Alabama is a 7-point favorite, according to Las Vegas sports books.

LSU fans can simply get over it. Saban is at Alabama, deal with it.

Anyway, this game will obviously decide the SEC West Contender, possibly the SEC Champion and possibly the National Champion. This should be the best regular season game of the year.

Funny, this article is the first time I've seen it referred to as the Saban bowl this year. Glad they're ready to fix a problem that doesn't exist.
