On Wednesday morning LSU head coach Ed Orgeron took part in the weekly coaches conference call with the rest of the SEC. One topic brought up this week was his post-game video from the 2019 game.

A video of the post-game locker room speech was leaked to social media, Orgeron didn’t regret that the speech took place. His regret was that it was made public.

“Well you know that was something that was made in the privacy of a locker room,” Orgeron said. “I wish it wouldn’t have gotten out. I meant no disrespect to anybody at Alabama so I just wish that wouldn’t have gotten out. That wasn’t supposed to get out and it wasn’t intended to.”

Inside a locker room, many things are said as a way to pump up the team, get them energized. It isn’t always something that needs to be made public domain. However, the video is out there, and given that this is the first trip to Tuscaloosa since that day, it could be viewed as bulletin board material.

Not that the Alabama Crimson Tide needs any more motivation than they already have, Nick Saban will have his guys ready to play when the game kicks off from Bryant Denny Stadium.

Let’s just hope that another Orgeron comment rings true. “We’re coming and we’re not backing down.”
