re: Dawgs respect LSU program more than any other in the West...

Similarities btwn the two programs:

1) Flagship universities of their states.
2) Recruiting base that extends much beyond just thir states.
3) Since the turn of the century, the two most winningest programs in their respective divisions and most appearances in SEC c'ship game
4) Both fanbases travel better than any other...UGA likley brings 14 to 17,000 to the Baton Rouge area on Friday/Saturday.
5) Both schools have outstanding run game and similar style Texan qb's.
6) The M.O. of both, however, is an attacking, aggressive defense...both teams just have happend to forget that from time to time.
7) Both were blown out by the SEC front runners of the opposite division from theirs.
