Depth charts, play sheets, All-22 shots of the formations they run, etc.

Watch your language punk.

Where in Austin are you planning to feast? Franklins, Salt Lick?

If you are taking 71 back into Houston, stop by Hruskas on the way and get some kolaches (not as good as the ones in West Texas) but better than nothing. Saw a random kolache joint opened in Provo with the same name which is just weird (doubt they are associated)

Looking forward to this game.

Hurts us as you have a warmup game and get the season jitters out, helps us that we can watch film on you and you can't prepare for Canada's offense/tendencies

BYU is tied for my second favorite team. One of my best friends played for the Cougars in the 80s. He's shown me his national championship ring before. I'm going to the game with him, and I'll be sitting with a bunch of BYU fans. With that said, LSU is my #1, and I hope my Tigers beat my Cougars pretty easily! A 20+ point victory would be satisfying. Then I hope BYU finishes 12-1.

Sorry, I'm in an a-hole mood tonight.

I think it's the new dose of SSRI's.

Let's discuss how your QB is going to be on his back all night while trying to thread the needle against DBU.

Weakest arse schedule of a national champion. One game against a top 25 (when they played) and that was a Pitt team that ended up going 3-9.

Well seeing as how I'm off to a good start - perhaps I can ask some questions? So, there seems to be a disconnect between what fans are expecting with the O-line and how the media in some circles is portraying a more dire situation. What gives there? (I realize that there is a familiarity with reloading talent - but irrespective of talent there still is generally an adjustment period for new starters.) Was it released what the procedure was on Etling's back? Seems risky to have back surgery so young and risk it in football - was it just a minor thing? I'm most familiar with D.J. Chark as a WR what does the rest of the corp look like?

If I had it I wouldn't share it - you know how it is. That being said there really isn't much coming out of camp just bits and pieces, it's nowhere near as closed as Orgeron seems to be, it's frustrating as fans really to see college football in general be so closed before the season. I miss the openness that used to exist.

I'm ready to see the dline vs oline matchup. Good qbs with time can make plays even if it's against future NFL dbs. I'm excited about Greg Gilmore (NT) he struggled some last year but is stronger and quicker than he's ever been and his technique look really good from what I've seen. We also have Rashard Lawrence a tru soph De who is gonna be a star. If our front 3 play like we think it's gonna be bad for offenses because we're so stacked at olber it's not even fair.

Yep, but they won and finished the season well enough to cause the voters to reluctantly choose them as the NC.

the media can only write about what LSU tells them. so "hearing" things is probably 99% made up bs so they can keep their job. hell, we as lsu fans don't even know what to expect from the offensive side of the ball. canada ran like 4 plays in the spring game.

as wr goes, there is an arse load of talent that has been underutilized in the archaic offensive ways with les miles. chark will be a main focus but also you have russell gage who is a shifty type player thats quick off the line and has decent hands. then the other two are our big bodies in dee anderson (6'5 202lb) and drake davis (6'3 217lbs). they will win 9/10 jump balls and have excellent hand skills.

Need more insight on what specific media. The starters are quality and the freshmen are doing great. Problem is depth which is a mid to late season issue. I haven't seen anything that suggests walking into week one we have an issue. 4 injuries between now and then - sure. 3 returning starters.

Young and talented scattering of 4 stars and an occasional 5 star. Watch for Dillon in a Percy Harvin'esque role. Canada is a by committee guy (he always has 5-6 receivers with 20+ catches a year - compared to our usual 2-3).

Franklins for sure - my buddy lives in Austin and bought a smorgasbord of meats as takeout so we didn't have to wait forever in line. And then I believe we are going to be on the 71 so I'll certainly put that to the group for a stop. Thanks for the heads up. As for other spots - he came up with a list that we have to narrow down. With any luck i'll end up needing to be rolled into the stadium!

Can you give me an idea of what your 2 point plays look like? What about any fakes you'll run?
