Only way to really look is how we both play the same teams.

2003: Arizona
LSU 59-13
UO 48-10

2003: Mississippi State
LSU 41-6
UO 42-34

2004: Oregon State
LSU 22-21
UO 21-50

2005: Arizona State
LSU 35-31
UO 31-17

2006: Fresno State
LSU 38-6
UO 31-24

2006: Arizona
LSU 45-3
UO 10-37

5/6 LSU did better against the same team. The defense Oregon fans claims is going to stop us from passing has all but once allowed more ppg then the LSU defense of the same time frame.

You missed Washington in 2009 where LSU won 31-23 and Oregon won 43-19. And honestly, even including this more recent game this argument has little relevance with the two teams today outside of pointing out that LSU has typically had the better defense (or team in general as you guys won 2 NCs between '03 and '07) this past decade, and few Oregon fans would disagree with that claim. Oregon didn't begin improving too much defensively until Chip took over. None of the players from either LSU or Oregon from 2003-2006 are playing college ball anymore (well, unless you have a recruit from the '06 class that greyshirted or went on a Mormon mission or something that I don't know about). Not only that but you guys didn't get Chavis until 2009. This is comparing apples to oranges here. Oregon has been far more aggressive defensively under Chip as opposed to Bellotti where they played a far more conservative bend-but-don't-break defense that often broke more times than it didn't. Again, apples to oranges.

Oh, and keep in mind that we had Crowton as OC in '05 and '06. You guys know all about how that goes....

Granted these don't mean much because there have been numerous coaching changes on both teams. However, saying that the SEC plays cupcakes and that's a reason that we get into the BCS games is not telling the whole truth. We fight in the toughest conference, and when we go against common opponents we tend to have a little better record.

Last part said what I was trying to get across.

I met a real good guy from Oregon who had the handle "baciami" from the National Rivals message board. He, along with Rivals posters from all over the country, decided to attend the LSU-Alabama game in Baton Rouge in November of 2008 (the 28-21 OT game). He was funny, and he had a blast...

Hey, that's cool. Na, I never have posted on Rivals. But I really do want to see a LSU game there. I never have had any Casian food before. And I saw a U-tube vid a few weeks ago with them boiling craw-dads (or craw-fish I think you call em)and oh man, my mouth watered so much after seeing that vid, for a whole week even!!!

I am hoping and hoping and hoping that this game with us turns out to be so close and tight that it promps both sides into doing a home/home in the future. Then I could fly down there and watch one. Plus, it would be a good test for both fan bases to see who has a louder stadium. Personally I do not wish to get in that long debate again, but if you read any of my posts from weeks ago you know I think their is a major difference on the actual playing field with sound levels- esp for ours. So I plan on asking our ball players their thoughts if they went down there, plus me being in the stands to see from up high and ask them down low too. Plus, I just want to see all what this rave is about LSU tailgating. Plus, I really would like to beat you again. Now, this is assuming we win in Dallas. If we loose, and our AD begged your AD to schedule a home/home, I don't think your AD would go for it. But if we won, only in a tight one, I think LSU fans would be screaming for one. But if LSU lost big, like Tenn did, I think your AD might be fired for scheduling this risky OOC for you. And that would probably end the scheduling of hard PAC teams.

Thus, I am hoping for a super close slug fest with us barely winning so it ticks off LSU fans so much that you scream to your AD for a rematch and home/home with us(to which we would most gladly except).

Other then that, I may not get to see a LSU game. However I may get lucky and get my Casian food try if we go to the BCS Title game this year in New Orleans. Its not like we don't great odds of repeating another trip there. We lost last year in a very close one, and it has our guys very motivated(and fans too) for a repeat try to win one.
