I never take any of it personally. I'm not playing the game, so I can't. All the talk is the ususal pre-game chest thumping.
We all think the best of our teams, and that's why we all love college football.
BTW, I'll be at the game (assuming it goes as scheduled, which at this point I think it will).
It will be me and 52 Troy friends on a bus from the FL Emerald Coast (Ft. Walton/Destin). We also have 2 LSU folks coming with us on the bus.
As for the 24 pt opening line....yeah, we'll beat that...easy!

Hmm, don't think we can put 30 on you huh?
Let's see in 2004, LSU had the 3rd ranked defense in the country and we scored 20 pts then...with the 113th ranked offense.
Last year we had the 16th ranked offense. Hmmmm.
Lost all our skill players?!? We lost 2 senior WR, a RB and the QB.
We already know our running backs are better than what we had last year.
At WR, 20 different players caught passes last year, 14 for TDs. 3 of those guys were seniors. That leaves 17 others plus a couple new ones that can catch.
Our QB this year played in 8 of the 12 games last year and had a 56 yd run againt Arkansas and one TD pass against UGA.
We'll score 30, and if not, I'll come back here and eat crow, but if we do score 30, I'll still be back here.

And Troy will score 30+ in the game.
Last year against Arkansas we scored 26
against Florida we scored 31
and against Georgia we scored 34
Avg pts per game last year (all season) - 34

Don't expect a spread of 27 or 30....look to more around 18. Collegefootballpoll.com has LSU at 11.5 pt favorites. Whatever it comes out at, since 2001 (when Troy became FBS), Troy has only missed covering the spread in 2 games against BCS teams. That's out of about 24 games
