Did this offend you ? Are you now claiming to be a “victim”. That is what matters

It looks like the GameDay setup will have industrial strength netting this weekend.

In that same segment, who ever thought Stephen A Smith would be the voice of reason here?

Gee they didn’t want to pick UTEP +41.5 or Tennessee State +47.5?

Not much to work with this weekend in terms of legitimate upset potential, so of course they’re going to talk about this one.

against a team bringing in a first year starting qb


Which also means we don't have film on him either. Plus we're bringing in a new QB who's coming off surgery from a major foot injury and had to learn a new offense. Also all the distractions with the returning NFL players and SEC threatening penalties against LSU. Bunch of new portal additions. Possible looking ahead to the Ole Miss showdown.

There's a lot of shite going on, so I don't think its all that far fetched for an analyst to pick us to be on upset alert.

I am usually pretty cautious, but this is the best I've felt about LSU in an opener since 2019 and that'sbecause LSU played GA Southern.

The offense may start slow, but it will wear down Clemson with Lane's tempo. It's going to be Blake's defense that sets the tone early.

It’s so hard to know anything.

I’ve heard a rumor that the OL is going to be a problem.

And I heard that QB might be a problem.

The OL didn’t surprise me. The QB did.

If either or both of these are accurate, we definitely could be upset.

But there’s no way of knowing until you see it. And we have no idea what Clemson is bringing. There is a world where they struggle all year.

It’s all a guess combined with the hopium.

No, that’s a possibility as well. If LSU plays like a top 10 team, it’s definitely possible that Clemson can’t keep up.

I hate when Stephen A talks CFB. He has very minimal knowledge in this field. This isn’t nba.

He probably still thinks Clemson is the same program that had Deshaun Watson Trevor Lawrence and Etienne the same program that was dominating and kicking Bama arse.

LSU is trending way up from recent years and Clemson is falling apart.

Disney/ESPN is total crap on so many levels. I'm glad to say that I stopped watching their regular programming several years ago.

This game won't even be close. And, obtw the LSU players are even more united because they have embraced the role of idiots like the talking heads on ESPN branding them as villains.

Don't buy that. Dabo is toast. When his buyout is low enough, he will be gone. Just my $0.02.

LSU easily covers the spread.
