Get excited, bitch. You're about the see your new QB for the next 2+ years play his first full game.

We are fans of LSU. Not our opponents... Well, most of us are at least.

Meh, Iowa is a better team than Michigan. The only thing that would have been better about that match up would be the Miles/Michigan story line.



Meh, Michigan's offense is more explosive and interesting to watch. Don't give a shite about the Miles/Michigan story line, but definitely would be cool to see these two storied programs play each other considering it's never happened.

i really don't have a problem with this bowl. I mean we had to get in line behind Auburn, Alabama, Missouri & South Carolina. Lets face it we earned this one. As far as the opponent who's 8-4... if it weren't for a last second pass vs arkansas we'd be 8-4 too... just saying

Im just ready to see what Anthony Jennings has to offer and how our defense is going to shut down that power run game of Iowa!

Not really. 84th total offense in the country averaging 5.47 yards/play isn't very explosive. The Iowa football team is better, name recognition is the difference. I don't really care to beat an average Michigan team.

That more explosive offense gained 158 yards against Iowa.

The Jennnings angle alone should have everyone excited as hell for this one.

Yeah its Iowa, but its also the last game until September and we get to see Jennings vs. a Big 10 team.

I can, and most should, fap to this.

Is our miserable fan base ever happy about anything? The idiots on here were bitching yesterday that we MIGHT get selected by the Gator Bowl and some were getting pissed off at Alleva saying it will be his fault. Now we get selected by a bowl and we bitch about the opponent. Iowa is not a bad football team. This will be a great opportunity for Jennings to get some first team reps and get in a game situation (which everyone on here has been asking for) against a quality opponent.


I didn't care what bowl we got in if we had a fun opponent, but Iowa i just boring arse football. Tons of people on here don't like NFL because it feels "slower" to them.

So this just means that you don't follow college football very closely outside of LSU. That isn't a reason to not be excited about a bowl game.


I follow college football a lot and they are still uninteresting as frick. In the B1G I look at MSU, OSU, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan, and some Penn State.

I'll still watch the game because it's fricking LSU playing, and now I get to see Jennings tear somebody up for a whole quarter.

Iowa is better than teams we played this year. They aren't a no name team. We played them this decade.

Tcu, Ole miss, uga, moo state, uf and the other ooc teams we played either have the same record or worse than Iowa.

Guess you just can't get excited but for 1 game. Alabama.

The fans couldn't even get up for the team playing in the bcs title game. You know that team that runs it 98% of the time.

......

This will be a perfect game for AJ in live prep for Wisconsin in Sept. Not sexy but a good draw considering...

With you on this.

About boring arse football... despite roasting the UF game this year was a thrill. Especially the chomp as the clock reached 0:00. There's nothing boring about trying to line up and overpower an opponent... especially in a bowl game. I'll take it.

Oh, how unusual. An LSU fan unhappy about some aspect of LSU football.

Man, the hubris of our fans (some) is amazing. If LSU half asses this game they will lose, Iowa is a solid squad with the kind of ground game we dont do well against. Oh and when was the last decade we actually won a bowl game?

You get to see our new quarterback play against a quality team and we have a chance to get another 10-win season. That's good for me.

Well that is a damn shame; Iowa is a good team and you can damn sure bet they want to beat an SEC school.
