Huge.Gigantic.Mucho Grande.These are only some of the words that come to mind when thinking about Saturday’s matchup between No. 7 Georgia and No. 13 LSU.The game was hyped before the season as a meeting between the then-No. 1 Bulldogs and the defending Bowl Championship Series national champion, but now this game means so much more to both parties.If LSU loses this game, you can put a fork in them. Their season will be finished in October and will be seen as a huge letdown from last year’s title run. A loss Saturday would make two Southeastern Conference losses for the Tigers, and the team leading the western division, No. 2 Alabama, will simply move too far in front for LSU to catch.No trip to the SEC championship game means no trip to Miami for the BCS championship and could mean a trip to some backwoods bowl that no one outside of Louisiana will care about. Wouldn’t that suck?Granted, through some act of God, Alabama could choke — in true Crimson Tide fashion — in one of its remaining conference contests, basically gifting LSU all the way to Atlanta for a rematch with Florida or Georgia and a shot at redeeming itself. But I wouldn’t count on it.It’s a bad situation when a team doesn’t control it’s destiny. That’s why LSU has to come out on top in this clash of the titans. If the Tigers had handled business in Florida, the situation wouldn’t be this dire, and my car ride home wouldn’t have been so awful.On the other hand, the Bulldogs have just as much to lose if they don’t come out of the fracas with a check in the “win” column. After riding the preseason hype machine to being ranked No. 1 despite not even winning its division last year, Georgia showed why it’s always a bridesmaid and never a bride.They blacked out Sanford Stadium and were shut out on the scoreboard in the first half against the Crimson Tide earlier this season. Georgia also laid eggs against South Carolina and Vanderbilt and had to rely on the ineptness of these other schools to squeak out slim wins. For the Bulldogs to win the SEC East, they’d have to beat a Florida team that hasn’t forgotten the 42-30 beatdown from last year punctuated with a full-team touchdown celebration orchestrated by that crybaby weasel Mark Richt.Georgia has a snowball’s chance in hell of beating the Gators because Urban Meyer’s players would likely rather drink bleach than suffer that embarrassment two seasons in a row. They also have road tests against a sneakily decent Kentucky team and Auburn. All in all, LSU fans shouldn’t be too worried about a Bulldog victory in Baton Rouge. Nobody on the LSU roster has forgotten the 2005 SEC Championship Game where the Tigers got thrown around and mistreated like the type of girls my mother told me about. And the Bulldogs didn’t even have the common courtesy to cuddle when it was all over. Their fans just made crude references to Hurricane Katrina. Well now LSU will pay the Bulldogs back for their rudeness behind a seemingly rejuvenated defense. If the LSU defense that showed up in the second half against South Carolina shows up Saturday, Matthew Stafford will be going home in a body bag.It’s not the first time LSU was in a must win situation. “Every game matters,” according to the ESPN ads, and in no place is that truer than the SEC.So no pressure, Tigers.It’s only the fate of the world on your shoulders.- – – -Contact Johanathan Brooks at [email protected]
