Braden Gall ?@BradenGall 14m
So my boy @BarrettSallee thinks we are down on LSU because we are "lazy?" How did that 11-1 Arky prediction pan out last year, bud?
Barrett Sallee ?@BarrettSallee 11m
.@BradenGall What does that have to do with LSU, bud?

Braden Gall ?@BradenGall 11m
@BarrettSallee Just that our preseason picks are anything but lazy. We were down on Arky and Auburn last yr like LSU this year.

Barrett Sallee ?@BarrettSallee 10m
.@BradenGall If you're playing the numbers card against LSU, that is lazy. I wasn't using yours (or anybody's) as a jumping off point.

Braden Gall ?@BradenGall 11m
@BarrettSallee LSU is the only team in the SEC that won't be improved this year. And that opinion is based on months of studying.

Barrett Sallee ?@BarrettSallee 8m
@BradenGall As is mine. Not sure what you're trying to prove with that remark. It's not like I just pulled mine out of it...

Barrett Sallee ?@BarrettSallee 5m
@BradenGall @cfbmatrix We all make mistakes with predictions from time to time...like when you were high on Mullen.

Braden Gall ?@BradenGall 3m
@BarrettSallee @cfbmatrix Still high on Mullen. Has won more games at SEC's toughest job than most ever could. Needs to beat big boys now.

Barrett Sallee ?@BarrettSallee 1m
@BradenGall 5-21 against FBS teams that finish with eight or more wins.

For those seeking cliffnotes, Athlon sports expects LSU to crash and burn this year. and their sportswriter didn't like it when Barret Sallee (BR) called them out for being too lazy on LSU...because they (Athlon) have done months of research to predict LSU will not improve this year. Coincidentally, the guy is "high" on Mullen and what he has done at Moo State

I hate reading tweets. I hate Twitter so much. It's so confusing.

They'll be right eventually. Since Lord Saban left, every year the "experts" have suggested LSU is showing signs of returning to mediocrity.

Amen, brother.

I had an account as soon as it came out. I thought what is this crap? It'll never work so I deleted it. Boy was I wrong.

When in the hell did # become hash tag? It's a pound sign.

Braden Gall is the biggest POS. He hates Les Miles and it clouds his judgement on LSU and rather than being a man and admitting it he hides and takes cheap shots whenever possible.

On local radio in Nashville he likes to get on and bash Miles and LSU whenever the subject arises because no one calls him on it here.

That's Dan Mullen's stats. The Athlon guy had Mullen as a good coach for doing a good job in an incredibly tough environment. In response, Barrett Sallee pointed out Mullens record against teams with 8 wins or more on their record.

Goodness, does anyone use twitter on the rant?

It's awful. I have one for my business and I don't understand it at all. I feel like I'm trying to read code.

Stat is about Dan Mullen who the Athlon Sportswriter thinks is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I like that despite a proven OC joining the club and despite our bad arse recruiting classes year after year, we plummet while everyone else gets better.
