True, but I always got more of a "steal the change from your car ashtray" or "take pictures of your wife's cleavage when she's not looking" feel from Petrino. A used-car salesman, if you will.
Well .. I couldn't resists .. me being a numbers guy and all. I ran my rough cut formula on the LSU AR game .. and I just do not see anyway for AR to win this. Using AR numbers, the score will be LSU 30-21 Using LSU numbers, the score will be LSU 34-14 Using AR last 3 games, excluding TN because they are wounded, LSU 40-17 Granted, most of LSU's offensive scores were with Lee at the helm, but I don't see any significant difference this year between Lee and JJ, at least not yet. One thing is for sure, AR has been allowing between 94-114 percent of what teams would normally score. This means that LSU should score somewhere close to 36 points in the AR game. In contrast, AR only scores 140-159% better than what their opponents normally allow. ... that don't bode to well for them, as LSU only allows on average 10 points. I don't look for this game to be as close as the piggies think it's going to be. At most, they score 24, and that's spotting them 3 points. At least, LSU scores 30, and that's not including the 3 point Death Valley Advantage. Range of scores: LSU 30-40 AR 14-24 Likely score, LSU 34, AR 17. :grin: [I"m 3 for 3 so far .... going for 4/4] Edit .. make that 4/4 going for 5/5 .. the formula predicted WKU game to be 37-10. .. the score was 42-9. .. again, that is dang close.
Pretty no damn good track record. I hope it holds and if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot like last year it should.
I can't wait to send my redneck cousin from arkansas a " sorry for the death of your season" card or something like that. I owe him bigtime. Maybe I send him a bag of cotton balls in the mail and some splenda. That way I can tell him good luck in the cotton bowl because you can forget the sugar, mudderphucker.
