paper tiger

Miami and Auburn are consensus top 10 teams this year, neither of whom LSU plays at home. LSU will be the betting underdog in both games. Splitting these two games would not be an awful result. LSU will lose a large part of its fan base if they start 1-2. I don’t see a Orgeron losing the tea...

Trey Palmer. No inside info, it would just make sense. He wants to be a tiger, there are no other receivers in the class yet, and room is running out. Best to grab the spot now. ...

Dayum, even Schlinder has Ed O higher than that on his list. Maybe Alleva should have checked craigslist coaching section first. LOL. Not a big O fan, but preseason coach's lists are at the very bottom of my list of things to worry about. ...

I’m confused. This is supposedly an article predicting our class. But isn’t a prediction that gives Sospher a 35 % chance of coming here a prediction that he won’t be in the class? It sounds more like a your guess is as good as my guess prediction. ...

Thanks to all who took the time to make suggestions. I'll pass it along to my crew so we can decide. As a side note, I won my side bet with my son. I told him we would get downvotes from a few rant-folks for asking for advice on where to stay. He said "are there actually people who would ...

Thanks for all the replies. I have stayed at a lot of these places on business, but have not walked around much from hotel. The Anatole is nice, but it doesn’t seem to be a great area to walk around. I have stayed at zaza and stoneleugh, I guess that’s the area to go if we don’t go to FW. My...

We are putting together our road crew for LSU Miami and need to decide where to stay in Dallas. We stayed at Gaylord resort for Oregon game which was nice but we want to be downtown where the action is. Can anyone recommend a downtown hotel or downtown area where there are lots of bars and restaur...

For those who fret over preseason rankings, just sit tight through week 3. Beat Miami in week one and we move into top 20. Then beat Auburn in week three and LSU moves into top ten. If we lose those two games, they were right not to rank us. ...

[quote]Pitching Hillard in a non elimination game on short rest was very dumb, and I said it at the time so this isnt hindsight I usually am a CPM supporter too. But that was not wise[/quote] Hilliard pitched on five days full rest. That is plenty rest for a pitcher, its the normal rest in the...

[quote]Why does LSU always end up with sore armed pitchers, pitchers needing surgery, etc. every year???? something seems to be wrong/lacking somewhere![/quote] Because the ncaa seeding committee and espn hate LSU? ...

They put the screws to Oregon State sending college baseball royalty to their bracket. No one wanted LSU as a 2 or 3 seed in their bracket. Everybody is 0-0 now. LSU headed west with a lot of confidence and not a whole lot of pressure. Any bracket we went to would be tough. I like our chan...

[quote] I'm not really sure how you couldn't like Kyle Peterson.[/quote] He pretty much calls it as it is, and some fans don’t like to hear critical things about their team. It’s intersting some thought his call yesterday favored Arkansas. I thought his commentary was balanced, if anything,...

I know some LSU fans do not like Peterson, but I really enjoy his commentary. He is seems particularly knowledgeable on pitching strategies and, I think, does a great job explaining pitches and predicting what pitches will be thrown next and should be thrown next. He would make a good pitching coac...

Right after you beat them, you feel like beating them again. :geauxtigers:...

[quote] You guys are clueless. I'm not speaking of pregame bo...I'm speaking of practice before the season and or during the season, but not in pregame! Every single person takes swings at some point. Swings, bunting, etc every single one[/quote] You are confusing a college team with a high ...

Some said LSU was in ncaa tourney no matter what they did in SEC tourney. Then it was said LSU had to beat Miss State to get in. Then some said after Florida loss LSU had to beat South Carolina to get in. Well the debate is over. The tigers under great pressure played their way in tonit...

[quote] and it won’t based just on a transfer QB[/quote] Spreads move for all types of reasons. Setting aside the question of whether LSU will be better it’s Burrow, which would move the spread, if people “think” LSU will be better and bet on them the line moves whether they got better or not. ...

[quote] Holy wall of text. I stopped when you started comparing players to chess pieces. I knew you were looking way to into this instantly[/quote] As to the not very original wall of text comment you get for posts that contain a few paragraphs, in fairness to me me, target audience was people w...

Our 2018 recruiting class ended on a sour note when we missed on out top cb, Patrick Surtain and our qb target, James Foster. The saved schollies were used on Joe Burrow and Terrance Alexander. Are we actually better off with the way it worked out? Taken as a whole, probably so. If football play...

[quote]get your point, but no lsu would not be even money against arkansas or ole miss on a neutral field unless we had a huge pitching avantage on the mound and we wouldnt. [/quote] LSU took 2 of 3 from Arkansas and Ole Miss had to have a big comeback in the rubber match at Oxford to squeak o...
