    Interestingly, the line for the Texas game started at LSU -7.0. Just prior to Saturday, it got as low as -3.5, signaling that the money was on Texas. After just checking now, it’s rebounded to -6.0. Not a sign of the teams, but a sign of what America thinks of these teams.

    You know, all this hype is starting to make me nervous. Like setting us up for a big letdown nervous.

    I said it Sunday and got roasted for it. I need to see more than one game. Saturday's game in Austin should, emphasis on should, tell me a lot more than last Saturday's scrimmage.

    They’re all scrimmages until the Bama game ... That FPI @ 20% will be at 50% at Game time with the Tide game spread -17 now at about -4 to -6 ... Mark it

    If Tua goes down, LSU will rout Alabama

    If Orgeron can’t beat Texas this year, hard to not say Herman was the superior hire. We out talent Texas AND they have a depleted stable of RBs. I have high expectations for Eaux and I don’t think I’m alone in that.

    I agree that we played a crappy team. But we have an offense for the first time since 2013. We know the D is going to be the D. I am normally the last person to have any type of confidence in us winning a big game. But this team feels different and looks different. I am actually confident in them. I am not saying that we’ll win Saturday, but I am saying that I’m finally not nervous that the D will have to hold them to 10 points for us to win.

    I am liking the positive attitude guys. Texas has a football team... Saturday should give us all a better idea how the season is going to go.
