Over at the SB Nation mothership, The Historical takes a look at the 1964 Alabama vs. LSU matchup that pitted two undefeated teams on collusion course for the conference crown and a shot at the national championship.

I think y'all might enjoy it if for no other reason than this photo of Tiger head coach Charlie McClendon.

The piece is a follow-up of sorts to the piece I did on at the 1958 meeting between the two teams in Mobile's Ladd Stadium. That game, interestingly, is the last time the two have met at a neutral site until today.

Look who is in New Orleans!!!!

History says great defenses more often than not subdue superb offenses. But Arky's not listening.

And, strange to stay, Texas Tech may have something to do with it.

The Cajuns have landed. These folks came over from Eunice and brought their own sausage with them. And you better believe I'm heading back over there in a bit for a big bowl.

I am taking photos around Tuscaloosa and posting them on Roll Bama Roll's Facebook page. Yeah, it's mostly Alabama but I'm making it a point to get shots of LSU folks as well.

A friendly reminder of how we treat traitors.

In 1958, LSU's second game of the season was against a rejuvenated Alabama team led by Paul W. Bryant (it was The Bear's first game as The Crimson Tide's head coach).

Midway through the second quarter, Alabama's offense was inside the Tiger's 10-yard-line, threatening to score. LSU coach Paul Dietzel put in his third unit to stop the Tide and the legend of the Chinese Bandits was born.

You can read about this pivotal game in the history of both programs in my article over at the mothership.

EDIT: Frontpage'd. Kleph may be a traitor to the state that bore him, but this is still a great read

A photo of Mike the Tiger I recently found doing my researches I thought you lot would appreciate. It's from the back sleeve cover of the 1968 version of Peter Finney's The Fighting Tigers.
