In one game after a month off, not for an SEC schedule of 8 games. They didn't show that.
This argument always makes me laugh.

How could anyone say that? Good chance Oregon will be the higher ranked team going into the game, and they showed in the BCSNC they are a legit team.


You are preaching to the choir. I agree with you completely.

But I can hear Mark May right now. And Brent will bring it up every game the rest of his life even if neither team is in the game he is covering.

In other words, the same people who say that the SEC is overrated will say the SEC is overrated.

Anytime the SEC puts a team in the BCSCG and another team in a BCS bowl, then I'm fine with blowhards opining about the SEC's demise.

I think bama beats arky again because they have had their number and arky hasn't really won big road games in teh SEC.

I see your long-term memory doesn't stretch back four years.



I mean under Petrino if that wasn't intuitive (that's the knock on him atm IMO) - esp because they lost all four of their road SEC games in 2009

losing to Oregon, Bama, West Virginia, or Arkansas could ruin a shot at a NC this year

If any one of those games is LSU's only loss of the season, LSU hoists a crystal ball in January.


absolutely no guarantee of that - esp if bama runs the table. If two or more major BCS teams run the table they would play in the BCS NCG instead of LSU

Arky is a big game and has been for a while. They're never as talented, but they play their little nutsacks off against us. That being said, it's probably the 4th most difficult game for us this season and usually isn't a top 3 opponent (last year they were our 3rd toughest). They aren't on the level of AU, UF, and Bama at this point year in and year out.

palying ark on friday day after thanksgiving is the suck for LSU.

Its generally big game and it lacks the luster that au or bama or Fla bring.
Sat yr or so ago was a step in the right directon but that friday shite is no good.

Speak for yourself. I'm a big enough LSU fan that I can root for the Tigers any day of the week. :pissingcontest:

Already.

I want to beat them more than any other team this season. If you've experienced an LSU/Arkansas game in the state of Arkansas, you'd understand why.

I'd rather they played the game on a saturday as well - thanksgiving is really for family more than football

(you win the pissing contest if you disagree)

I bet part of the reason I dig the Friday thing is because it started when I was a kid and didn't cease until recently. I also like being at a football game with a lot less women than usual (Black Friday).

I think if the game wasn't around Thanksgiving it would be bigger. Arkansas fans make me mad and that makes it a bigger game for me.

This year is the first that I will take Arkansas seriously.

It's just awful. Easily the worst fans in the SEC. Incredibly obnoxious and uneducated. What makes it worse is that they have literally never won anything that matters since joining the SEC.

Arkansas and the majority of its people suck. I have never been so happy to cross the border back into Louisiana in my entire life.
