And Auburn is actually a team we match up well against. Again the defense is the only one that can shut down a&m twice, and auburn will be twice as well.

Ole Miss isn't going to beat us two years in a row.

Arkansas doesn't "always" play us tough. I don't see us playing down to them again this year, especially since it isn't even the final game anymore.

Auburn is a TOUGH place to play, he's right that the youngsters may have trouble adapting.

If we lose three games, it'll be AU, Bama, and maybe UF...although we don't lose two in a row like...ever...and AU and UF are back to back. I think we lose one of those and hope we beat Bama at home.

i have us at 9-3 too. I think the majority of logical LSU fans think we'll drop 3 with this brutal road schedule and obviously Bama on the schedule who has whooped the shite out of us in 2 of the last 3 meetings.

How can you see them losing to Ole Miss at home, but not Arkansas on the road, immediately after slugging it out with Bama?

1. Who cares

2. If you do care, you should be realistic enough to understand it's not THAT far fetched. We seem to always have close games with Ole Miss and Arky (except 2011). We also generally matchup well with Bama. Going 9-3 with those wins and losses wouldn't totally shock me.

Since you are pulling out random amount of years, I will too. We have lost to Ole Miss at home once since 2002. That was in 2008 when we had our worst team since 2002, and they had their best team in recent memory.

It's obvious you didn't understand what I was saying. He says he can see Ole Miss beating us, but not a power running Arkansas team right after a power running Bama team? It's the main reason why we use to schedule a crappy opponent after Bama.

Heard Randy Rosetta say same thing on Fineshit Show on SEC Network.

I do not think this is the year for a manager QB as the defense in the league will be great. 9-3 would be a great year but I see LSU losing as many as 5 games.

So much depends on injuries and there is always some team which plays lights out after a slow start like Auburn last year.

Without a QB to chunck a long one now and then, LSU will have to run the ball. We have not been able to stop the run the last three years either.

Love the Tigers tons but having a heard time seeing anything encouraging just yet. Hope I am wrong but trying to be realistic.

Semi hijack... Don't think he'll make as an analyst; at least not on a national level. Looks like a prick. And doesn't look comfortable.

I think he is in the ball park with 9-3. Not sure who we lose to but he is right we are beating the Tide this year we owe them and Saban a beat down.

No you don't
How in the world have you not seen anything encouraging?
No you don't, you hope you're right. And being extremely negative with an opinion doesn't translate to realistic dipshit

We play Arky on the road after Bama. It could happen. The pigs always bring their A game against us while we sleep walk through the game.

Ole Miss has the horses to get us this year, but for the first time in forever, I think we're actually going to take them seriously and will be prepped for this one.

Auburn is a legit threat, no one can argue there.

Wisky and State could be challenges as well, and then Bama is still Bama.

They were worse last year and it took a pretty improbable 4th quarter drive to beat them. LSU never plays great against Arky.


You are right. The only exception recently was 2011. Once TM7 sparked the team the beating was on. That was when Petrino cursed CLM.
