Last year, the preseason consensus was that LSU would finish 2nd to last in SECW and win 6-7 games, max. How’d those predictions work out?

Son of a bitch you guys just lie your asses off day after day. I mean shite it's frustrating.

LSU was 12 in the preseason coaches poll, the 2nd highest ranked team in the SEC. Nobody predicted 6-7 wins.

I was a believer but the drama lately has me very concerned. When da faaak has a players only happened n camp ? Has it ever? All these legal issues coming out months later. Wtf is O doing? Does he have any type of grip on the program. Before y’all hate I’ve been an avid defender of giving him a fair shake. But this is getting rediculous. Media already crapping all over LSU this year and now they are really pouncing. Big difference if O suspends Taylor months ago when it happened. Perception is reality and now a loss to Miami looks a ton worse imo as far as validating what the Sec network has been sayin Alonf with everyone else n the media. O and this team needs to make a statement vs Miami and dominate.

No, generally these guys have a tendency to overrate LSU. Take a deep breath and let the season unfold.

ignore all talking heads and the rankings. They're irrelevant. The only thing that matter for a program like ours is to win the West and have a shot at the SEC championship and the playoffs.

Watch and enjoy the games, but ignore all the chatter. At the end of the season, we'll all know.

Miami isn’t overrated. I am afraid we will be 1-2 after AU. I didn’t feel that way but there’s kaos around the program right now.

Everybody and I mean everybody thinks this year is going to be a rough one. Our own local media thinks so. I don't really know what to expect.

With O at the helm, it's better to expect the worst and hope that you're surprised.

they were favored in every game except bama, including 96% favorites over troy. But all those suspensions and injuries probably knocked it down to like 46%, so LSU wasn't even a favorite to win at kickoff.

God you are miserable. I don't get though defending Les at 15-11, and attacking O at 6-2. Also, you are a liar. I know for a fact lsu was a sizable underdog to Auburn last year. So it wasn't just bama. I'm not sure about the rest of the games, but I know those two for fact

I'm obviously not the biggest fan of Orgeron as head coach, but I don't see it this way. A couple of knuckleheads did some dumb shite and 2 QBs didn't see the oppurtunity they wanted and went a different route. I don't believe any other coach could have prevented those things.

Got that right.

It's the college experts on the Tiger Rant that know Jack

And that a fact

Truth is we don’t know much about this team. My take is I don’t care about bookmakers or preseason CFB analysts.

I'm not a betting man, but I do pay attention to Vegas. Individual games might be off, but they're usually pretty spot-on when it comes to overall predictions.

It's a multi-billion dollar industry, they rely on being right more than not. They care nothing about loyalties, only money. So they tend to be objective and well-researched.

Regarding the preseason media guys, they're usually good to pick out the favorites, that's about all. Since we've slid out of that range, we're basically an unknown to them... not worth their time to research. They might be wrong on us, but the very fact that they no longer know the team deeply is pretty disturbing. It means we're no longer a premium brand.

10+ regular season wins or bust. We should not lower expectations.

I agree whole-heartedly with that.

I like how they use LSU’s schedule when deciding their ranking.

It’s suppose to be “the 25 best Teams”, not “my prediction for the final poll”. They make themselves sound like idiots.
