I made a bet on friday...

It will depend on who wins the game between 2 of us. Winner should get into SEC Championship game which could help by giving them extra L.

JPW better QB than Russell yeah too much to drink

I think I made a pretty sound bet... but i also think the Tigers have a damn good chance of beating the gumps this year.

I can't see Bama winning more than 9 games.

+1 Thats exactly what I told him. Bamma would be 9-3 and LSU 10-2.

The Tide may go 6-6 with McElroy. There's more wrong with this year's Tide team than just the QB.

The secondary will get exposed this year. Repeatedly. There are far more teams in the conference in 2009 that can throw the ball than there was in 2008.

I dunno if I buy the whole QB debate, it is not like McElroy is young guy. I mean he is a 4th year Junior correct?

I think him being in the offense that long working with the players and going against that defense all the time help.

JPW did not carry the team last year and McElroy will not this season. The will still try to run the ball and beat you down like that. Then count on defense to force other team into 3 and out each time.

Even with Star they could be an 8/9 win team with that defense and running game. Remember LSU was 8 win without a defense and a marginal QB play.

Well I do not know much about AJ. I have seen clips of Star and while I know highlight clips are not the best way to judge a QB he is capable.

I do not think he will be horrible, he could lead them to 8/9 wins like I said. Teams were loading up the box a good bit last year wanting Wilson to beat them. I mea 3 games over 200 yards (215 High) 2 games under 100 yards passing. 9 touchdowns and 7 INT, 160 YPG passing.
I really think Star could perform to that level if he is asked to start for Bama.

I say that when we play tough compitition we play to our talent level and when we play weaker compitition we tend to play down to their talent level. If we can over come this this year we could very easily wind up 10-2 or even 12-2.

When I look at this conference I do not see the overall team domination from one team as we did had last year in Florida. Florida has some holes to fill this year and Alabama is just a shell of they where last year. Ole Miss was lucky to get out of the Swamp last year with a win and are playing the media off of that one game last year. They have no depth and they have some holes to fill also from a year ago.

I do not believe there is a team other than Florida that has the overall talent level that LSU has. IF, and I mean IF we play to our talent level all year and make it to the Florida game undefeated, we will beat Florida and then IF we beat Florida there is NOBODY and I mean NOBODY left on our schedule that can beat LSU until we play Florida again in Alanta. That will be a different game and there will be more on the line there and we all know what Tebow can do when all is on the line. IF we can win that game somehow I believe that we win the BCS CG for our fourth NC. We will be either 14-0 or 13-1.

You can say that I am dreaming all you want to and maybe I am but, at the same time I know that we can easily go 10-2, 9-3 or even 8-4. So, I will not be shocked if either happens I am just hoping that we play to our talent level with an attitude that if we play all four quarters with the fewest mistakes and play that way the whole year with few injuries we have a chance of achieving whatever our heart desires. So, why not hope for the best because if we do not win at least 10 games this year the majority will be calling for Miles head. I like Les Mile as our head coach and hope he will win another NC then he will be here until he retires.
