on radio in Atlanta.
"We deserve to be playing a better team."
"We are going to beat them by double digits"
"It won't even be close"
"LSU's not in the same class as we are"

I have a strong feeling they are in for a surprise

I agree.

We'll have to wait and see on this. I could see it going either way.

Honestly if the roles were reversed, LSU fans would be saying the same thing. maybe louder

I was here in 2000 when they said the same thing, and LSU won by 2 tds. I like Tech's chances against our D, but beating UGA has apparently made Tech fans a little light-headed. They haven't won shite in 20 years. They have three losses this year. They deserve nothing. Beating UGA does not put you in the BCS.

If I was a Tech fan I'd say the same things. If the Tigers are going to compete and even win this game, they'll have to be substantially different from the team we saw for most of 2008. No way around that. I just hope there are plenty of guys on the team who see how vitally important it is to end this season with a win, and will focus on making it happen.

As bad as we have played, I am still suprised that Fans from Tech wouldn't be a little more respectful of LSU's program. Surely they understand we are very capable of beating most teams on any given saturday.

I think it is because they hear so much in ATL radio and papers how awesome UGA is every stinking year, that by defeating them, they have arrived to elite status or something. UGA has beat us 3 in a row BTW! That sucks and we have to play them in Athens

GT have a nice coach and a scheme designed to work at a school that can not recruit with the likes of LSU

LSU's run defense wasn't bad --- not great but not bad. I wonder if GT is going to try to upgrade that passing offense that racked up 95 yards a game before New Year's Eve?

If they can't pass the ball, they won't beat us...even as bad as our D is....we can stop the run if that's all they are going to do.

Throttling a former national champion on a downslide can be quite satisfying. See 2005 Peach Bowl.

And we were only two years removed from the title.

What station are you listening to?

I listen to both Sports Talk Stations all day long and have not heard any one of those quotes. We aren't UGAg fans and put our self esteem to the performance of our football team.

You can try and stir something up, but every Tech fan I talk to wanted to play a team as tough as LSU. As far as the score of the game goes, we will need to not have single turnover to win the game and nobody including Vegas is saying double digits.

Finally the Tech fans I know does agree that LSU is not in the same class that we are. If we work our butts off we have a chance to be. LSU has 2 National Championships in 5 years, we have 2 in 52 years. We aren't in LSU's class and very very few schools are.

Go hang out with the 20oz Bulldog- he will take your bait and create a fire storm. As for the rest of us- we are Jewish kid meeting the Pope. We have no business being here- but we sure are looking forward to the experience.

They could play Boise State again.

Tech hasn't beat anyone by double digits with the execption of Miami.

They have one good season in the last 8 years and they are getting a little big for those britches.

LSU 'should' have beaten #1 Bama...outplayed them but gave it away. Then after that, LSU just gave up. From all reports, the team is determined, focused, and hungry..not to mention a little pissed.

My prediction.

Pain for the wreck.

first part true. 2nd could be true and they have good reason to believe that.
3rd is also true. we aren't in the same class as them. We are above them. They have their best year in over a decade and we have our worst year in 9 years.
