    You can blame that one on me. The UF game was my first time back in Tiger Stadium since my freshman year in '65. :lol:

    good luck to y'all too. stick around this week, it should be fun.

    is tebow not playing the main consensus of the UF faithful?

    since 01

    LSU 4-5. 4-4 if you dont count the Katrina season, but one of the Ws is a close win over Troy. It doesnt seem like it has helped LSU. perhaps i should look at before bye weeks for LSU.

    But i suppose its more relevant to look at

    UF 8-0 (no bye evidently in 04). almost all of these have been before the neutral site game against georgia. the weakest game of theirs after a bye week did come AD Tebow in 07 as a W against a good UK team.

    Goof luck to yall as well. I think everyone would be surprised if Tebow played. I'm anxious to see Brantley anyhow. If we can protect him and give him a bit of time he has a strong and accurate throw, but cant run worth beans though. Our problem is we dont have the receiving crew were accustomed to, thus our running game(which is a good plus). Anyhow you guys looked good against Georgia.

    LSU before bye weeks

    9-0

    one was a somewhat weak win over MidTNSt. 4 are over ranked teams. it would seem weird if this trend meant anything. but there it is.

    I think we've typically done fine under Miles after a bye week; however, it used to foreshadow uninspired play under Saban.

    After a little research, heres a mind-boggling and more telling stat:


    the tigers are 0-15 ATS in conference home games after a victory under Les Miles.

    0-15 against the spread. thats why we are getting 10 points i suppose.

    being we are underdogs, that stat says we lose and lose big if jesus plays.
