Fairly loaded in that they are ranked 25th in the nation based on talent whereas LSU is ranked 6th (you know, facts), or fairly loaded in that “well, they beat the shite out of us last year so they must be really good (even though they got their asses handed to them by every other team with a pulse)?

I’m not saying they are a “bad” team, but we need to stop this illusion some people on this board have about them being a more talented team than LSU when the FACT is, they were just a BETTER COACHED team last year. If they win again this year it will be BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER COACHED, not because they have more talent.


A lot of text and a lot of anger that have nothing to do with my post. I didn’t contend they are or should be better or more talented than LSU.

All I said is that I think they will be really good and are fairly loaded. Returning 18 starters and your starting QB from a 9 win year is what I consider “fairly loaded”.

Irrelevant.

Over 90% of games are won by the team with the higher composite talent rating.


And there isn’t any anger in that post at all. More like aggravation from these Orgeron apologists who want to claim MSU was justified in beating us last year because they were “more talented”. It’s a complete fabrication and I’m simply not going to allow it to be posted here and not call it out as bulkshit when I see it.

That has nothing to do with wins and losses despite talent.

Except that it does. We lost to 2 teams this past year that were substantially less talented than us. That is not just an anomaly. That means there was a root cause for the ineffectiveness in which a team with superior talent played.

What would be the next thing you would look at at the cause for the anomaly?

Our odds are low due to the perception of our coach. It's up to him to prove them wrong.

Yeah it has nothing to do with one of the least amount of returning starters, a new OC, and a new QB. Not to mention a new OL coach. Lmao. Never change

Rest my case. You are big on state. We can revisit this the week of the game. Maybe a friendly little wager.

I'm positive lsu finished 2 games ahead of state in the west last year, you know, that very weak sec last year. Course they beat us. I think Auburn may have beaten bama. Not sure

Cool

I don’t think they’re going to beat our arse by 4 touchdowns this year because coach O is awesome. Are you trying to disagree with me?
