I woulda expected much higher than that closer around -17 seeing how the tigers normally play well in big opening games in the past.

Game isn't exactly right around the corner fellas. Im sure the line will move up a bit. My guess it'll end right around 8.5-10.5.

TCU is a better team than Va Tech. Also everyone feels all the good LSU players left for the NFL draft. TCU will be a tough team to beat in Dallas. I think they return every player on their 2 deep from Last year. TCU was not bad last year.

Having one of the best records the last 8 years and we need to gain respect?

What about every other team not bana? They just get that given to them, or do they need to earn it too?

I guess the question is do you prefer to be a 6 point favorite over the number 15 to 17 ranked football team in America....or do you prefer to be a 22 point favorite over an unranked team?

According to 3 different early pre-season polls, TCU is ranked anywhere from number 15 to number 17.

Although Virginia Tech has historically been a top 25 team, the Hokies are not ranked in any pre-season poll.

Based on what? I watched their bowl game and they looked terrible. I was surprised how quickly they started to coast after starting strong against Michigan State.I see'm taking a good arse whippin' from the Tigers.

Young team, lost their best player and the catalyst for their offense. They'll be much better next year.

I wouldn't be suprised if TCU upsets the tigers. I think it will take time for the offense to jell under Cam.

With losing our defense & Hill on offense, what do u expect? I also would not be surprised if TCU upset the Tigers.

Its in Texas, they are the only team to play more freshman than us last year, our star RB is probably going to miss at least that game, and we lost 8 contributing defensive players.

TCU is also very well coached and a defensive team.

It is where I thought it would be, but I think we cover.

In the preseason poll that I saw we were #16 and TCU #18. I'm surprised it is 6.

It's because you have no offense. You might lose this game too, considering TCU has the game circled twice with exclamation marks.

Why? TCU is good and we're not looking as good as we have been in the recent past.

Well I'd say this year the opposite will be true, actually.

Its about right. Basically a home game for TCU plus LSU lost a shitload on D.

AgroAmerican is the new ATM troll on the scene. He has been very busy hopping into LSU threads especially on LSU boards (Tiger Rant, Recruiting Board, etc) recently.

Everyone, do the right thing and all of us a favor and simply...

ignore him.
