I'd have to say the Oregon game was at least as big as this. They had just come off of a National Championship game loss to Auburn and were out to prove they could beat an SEC team in a big moment. They had a lot of returning talent and the media buzz around the game was huge.

That being said, this year's opener is a giant; I might add appreciated and fun/exciting. I ain't interested in seeing the cupcake matchups. I'd rather lose this than blow out the School of the Blind by 45. Anyway, to echo what a lot of other people are saying on here, if LSU can show up looking somewhat competent for a change, a loss doesn't mean a whole lot.

If you are going in expecting us to win, I question your judgement. Games are won up front, and there is no way that we should feel like we would win this game based on those matchups.

We have the skill players to make a splash, but I honestly don't see a world where we are going to be able to run the ball (which is mandatory) enough to keep them from getting after Nuss through our new O-Line. Hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised, but I just want us to look competitive and grow moving into conference play. Let the chips falls where they may and make a playoff run. :geauxtigers:

It's almost like they're facing the top pitchers in the country. Funny. I guess that's how it works in the CWS.
