I can imagine a number of different scenarios including blow out wins and blow out losses.

Could this game change your opinion of orgeron if it's a blow out in favor of LSU?

I think this one is extremely important, especially for O. There will be a ton of eyeballs on that game and he needs that momentum going into the last month of recruiting.

The only way we beat Louisville is on the ground football. If we try to spread the offense we will get killed. We can't throw, receivers are overrated drama queens, Guice is key.

Leonard who? Oh, that guy from New Orleans that played like 3 games this year against cupcakes?

Well the perception is in the shitter already so hurting the perception seems unlikely....maybe if we beat the hell out of Louisville we get a little back...maybe.

Apparently it doesn't mean that much given that we aren't even using all the practice time the NCAA allows.

You guys really think 18 year old kids give a frick about a meaningless exhibition game like a non-playoff bowl game that starts at fricking 10am. Most kids are still sleeping at 10am. The bottom line is that the game matters to the fans only. Recruits do not give a frick if we beat Louisville or not.

Nothing will make tRant happy. There is a 3 page melt down about practice, practice. Not the game, practice.

Never change tRant

It's important for the off season. Especially for the locals. Anything positive is good.

This.

LSU is losing ground across the board as there have been one slap in the face after another since we walked off the field in College Station. Coach O needs this game to pick up some good momentum heading into the recruiting stretch run and the offseason.

We need to win. Too much negativity around the program. Shutting down a heisman winner would be big.

Meh. Probably much less important than you think.

I think its pretty damn important. I don't know if a blowout win helps nearly as much as the hit publicly the program would take if they have a poor showing. Its critical that that they win and look good doing it to building a positive vibe going into the offseason.

Very important and its not an exhibition game. LSU has had a ton of distractions this year but the excuses are over with put a complete game together and Lville All this chatter about the timing of the game is noise both teams play at same time and it is well positioned before the playoff games...it's a huge reflection on Coach O and his ability to win at LSU

Actually im starting to think this game may be more important than usual mid level bowl game. Whipping the hiesman winner would be great.

I'm not sure that it really matters at this point....

However, if we lose this game then O will have the same amount of losses this season that Les Miles had last season (with a general consensus that those losses should've cost Miles his job) in 3/4 of a season, so that is something to avoid, I guess.
