    That crackhead has picked them on another show that I saw about two weeks ago. We need a good stat guy here. How does LSU stack up in the rushing dept.? If I'm not mistaken, it's not as bad as most of us think. Like 3rd in the SEC or something like that. They look at individual stats and say we don't rush well because no single back stands out statistically. But as a team, we're not bad.

    LSU is averaging about 35 more ypg than ND is (159.17 to 124.25)

    We also have 8 more rushing TDs.

    Something about it being "Fox" doesn't surprise me. I kid, I kid... But seriously man, it's possible that we lose to ND. I still think it's a stupid prediction because he really doesn't back his sh!t up with anything substantial.

    Quick, we better send the link to the LSU Team. They need to start thinking that they are UNDERDOGS!

    He also stated that LSU is not as "sophisticated as the west coast teams" in either offense or defense. Well la-te-da. Talk about west coast bias. I think he means we don't have the scheme complexity as the west coast teams. But he is completely overlooking LSU passing game and our defense. In addition, our gound game has made significant improvements. Really poor analysis by a very inept "sports journalist" (and I use that term loosely).

    this dude is an idiot! is he stoned? "all the bobby boucher type people" what the h*ll is that about? that's not a stereotype. i'd like to slap him to the ground, p*ss on his face, then ask him "what's it feel like to be an f'n idiot? notre dame doesn't stand a chance. who have they played who have they beaten? they are unworthy of a bcs game. gimme a break. they should be playing arkansas in the cotton bowl or something. ps hate the LOSERBACKS

    I agree. I could care less who they think will win, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm not gonna be so narrow-minded to think that any who doens't think LSU will blow out ND is an idiot. But yeah, at least back it up with facts. I highly doubt he's watched any LSU games.

    How the hell does he know whether or not LSU has a sophisticated offense or defense? Anyways I'm not gonna get too riled up about it, he's looks like some dude they found off the street. He doesn't mention any stats only merely stating his opinions.

    I kinda enjoy seeing the "experts" pick against the Tigers as I look back at their track record this season. Also, I believe the "experts" all took the Tigers vs AU and UF. Looks like were sittin pretty with them picking against us.

    Also, the underdog role has also seemed to favor LSU the past few years.......IMO, it is a no win situation for the Tigers being heavy favorites and tends to be very nerve racking.

    It will be a good game. A strong win here for the Tigers and we finish quite high in the final standings (maybe 2).
