    Alabama Faces LSU's Pink Locker Room Mind Game

    The Alabama Crimson Tide arrived at LSU's Tiger Stadium to find the visiting locker room painted pink, a psychological trick orchestrated by LSU coach Lane Kiffin. Inspired by Iowa's tradition and studies on color influence, Kiffin believes certain shades of pink can calm athletes and reduce aggression. This isn't the first time Kiffin has employed this tactic; he previously used it at Ole Miss. Despite the unusual environment, Alabama's success will depend on execution rather than the locker room's color.
