I'm even allowing for a 3rd loss since I consider this his 2nd year as head coach. I mean, are "we comin" or not? Are we confident in the head coach or are we making excuses?

10-2 or fire him, no excuses. That's complete bs. Say lsu loses a nail bighter to both bama and ga, in the final moments, loses a good game on the road at Auburn, and beats everyone else.


could still win a bowl game to get to 10 wins in that scenario you just gave.

The only ranking that matters is the one by the CFP committee after the conference championship games.

This is just preseason mental masturbation for sportswriters.

I don't get it man. All off season we've been told by the positive guys and O supporters how great this staff is. Finally have an OC that will modernize the offense, one of the best WR coaches in the nation who is also the passing game coordinator, an OL coach with a SB ring and Ree says he's possibly the best OL coach in college or pro. Went out and got what some are saying a top 5 SEC QB to go along with the best WR group ever at LSU and coach O finally has talent and depth on the O line.

Thread after thread denouncing the "haters" and then "we comin" and "hold that tiger". Now, all of a sudden, here we are 2 weeks away from kickoff and people are pulling the reigns back. Now the positive guys are saying 8 wins, the talent is unproven, the offense is gonna need time.

shite, people like me have been called haters have been saying 8 wins all along. If this coaching staff is so good and the players are so good, why wouldn't they be ready to go week 1 and be prepared to win. What happened between the "we comin" days and today?

Yep. There are several people in this thread that obviously don't understand betting. I have not seen LSU favored on any site at all at any point in time.

Has the coaching staff been pumped up on this board as being very good to great at every position all off season? Yes or no?

I don't think your necessarily wrong brother. I think my point is that it seems as if the rah rah guys are all of a sudden pulling back the reigns. It doesn't make sense to me for them to pump the team for 6 months just to start saying 8 or 9 wins now.

I know your prediction. You've been very consistent with it and I know we both hope you're wrong.

I guess you just read and process the things you want to. This board has been full of negatards all off-season.
It's not like there are a ton of people predicting greatness around here.

I guess you didn't read where I said that the supporters said that and now seem to be backing off of it.

The negative guys are staying at their predictions. Some of us that are considered haters are predicting the same amount of wins as the supporters. I feel like I may have covered this already.
