Talk about a loaded question. Was he supposed to say fiction? Then of course the headline says what it does. If I was Fournette I would refuse all interviews with the Advocate from now on.
I don't know if this would qualify as bulletin board material. He also gave a bunch of compliments to Alabama after the quote and specifically named players he admired.
It's all we got, it's a good start. And the media in Alabama just highlight the important stuff. Proper reply, LF7 to Peter Burns: "it's crap questions like that, that got you fired from your last gig."
I think he's pointing out The Advocate because they are the ones that put out a misleading headline based on the SEC Now feature....i.e. LF7 was basically asked, will LSU win, yes or no, and The Advocate made it seem like he pulled a Joe Namath guaranteeing a Super Bowl win.
That would give lie to their stated preference for conference champions. More likely the 1 loss loser of tOSU UM game (assuming tOSU wins). We can't guess what the effect of LAU running the gauntlet through the SEC CCG would be. I would hope the first few weeks under Les would be discounted.
The committee will view LSU as a 8-0 undefeated team, not an 10-2 team. Case closed, we would be the only SEC team they would consider for the playoffs. My bet is that they would put us in over a 1 loss Big 5 conference team.
