"The real test will come, of all places, in Starkville, Mississippi, where unranked Mississippi State hosts the team that has spent the past decade building us up just to let us down: LSU.

Two weeks in, we essentially know nothing about these Fightin' Tigers."

How can you not state that about every team in the SEC not named Bama?

They're really trying to build up this game.

We know ...
- the defense could be the best in the country.
- we aren't winning on field goals.
- if the penalties don't get better, we aren't sniffing Atlanta.
- Etling was definitely playing hurt last year and is healthy this year.
- Greedy Williams isn't going to see the ball come his way many more times this year.

Yet when we beat them they will still say we haven't beat anyone.

The quote is right. But there aren't many teams we do know something about. Not like this is week 7

Considering all of the changes that have occurred at ESPN and their personnel in the last couple of years, they could have stopped at "we essentially know nothing...". Case in point, Sergio Dippshit.

LSU, since 2003, has been given the benefit of the doubt relative to rankings and predictions of wins more than it has frankly deserved.

LSU no longer has the benefit of the doubt. It must prove itself anew. Guess what, beating State will prove nothing.

LSU will not regain this benefit of the doubt until if wins the West (and likely the SEC outright).

They are trying to sell this game harder than a Floyd Mayweather fight. This game won't be close unless they decide to put on the brakes. The "truth" is LA Tech ran for 239 yards on Miss St. That 87 yards loss is what makes what they did on the ground look modest. I don't think this game will be close.

And if LSU beats Miss State 42-10 then they will say the same things before Florida, we beat the breaks off of Florida it will be Auburn, we beat auburn, it will be Bama is the only measuring stick for LSU.

It's absurd, we played a decent BYU team and shut them out, without using much of our offense, or defense. I would say that LSU is pretty damn good at this point. But I am looking forward to State. I'm just not as hopeful that we will get any respect from that game after its all over.
