Fans flying across the country at great expense - especially when your team has been mediocre for a while at best - are going to see things on the sunny side.

We *do* have a chance, but it's a puncher's chance. We aren't bereft of talent in all positions, but to win against a team like LSU on the road at night? We'll need big plays, turnovers, people to play at a level we haven't seen before, maybe even injuries. In short we'll need to catch breaks. If we played this game 20 times I'd say we win 1 or 2. That's still a chance.

If they showed a slip betting $1000 on UW to win straight up, then you can say they're insane.

i agree. theyre fans. of course they have a shot. its not a good one, but i think last years exceptional season has clouded the memories of some of the tiger faithful. from 2007-2010, LSU didnt man-handle every team not named alabama like it did last year. they often struggled putting away significantly inferior opponents, see: 2010 north carolina, WVU, florida, tenn, ole miss.
