    May not still be there, but at 12:00 PST, that was the poll question on the espn.com CFB page. (88% Yes, 12% No)

    Will LSU make a bowl game!?!? With this schedule????

    @ Washington
    Vanderbilt
    UL-Lafayette
    @ Mississippi State
    @ Georgia
    Florida
    Auburn
    Tulane
    @ Alabama
    Louisiana Tech
    @ Ole Miss
    Arkansas


    I've bolded the games that are pretty much locks, and *everyone* in the SEC makes a bowl as long as they're .500. So the question boils down to: "Will LSU win at least two conference games?"

    How crazy is this? One down year and folks are speculating about missing out on a bowl.

    Washington is not a lock -- I don't care if they were 0-30 last year.

    But I get your point. The poll was dumb.

    Yes, I was rather insulted, myself, by that poll. I thought it was an April Fool's joke.

    True.

    But I feel a 2007 VT-style azz whoopin' coming on. Bad timing for the Huskies IMO.

    Otherwise, there might be a Jonestown-style kool-aid-drinking episode on this very board that night.

    i predict LSU going to the sec championship-- now whether they can beaat florida or not will be amazing, but at least LSU should go to a BCS bowl, easily.

    they will trounce washington by a score of 38-17

    and i predict a very impressive a scoring capable defense and a mind boggling offense with very many weapons and game changing plays by change of pace.

    i cant wait to see the qb system and maybe russel shepard lines up at wide receiver!

    I'll also go out on a limb and say the Ole Miss game is a lock. I don't care if Nutt is the Messiah...no way he gets the same results with half the talent available he had at Ar-kansas.

    I don't even want to think about how misreable of a season we would have to have to not make it to a bowl. It pains me now to sit through a loss and I have to check my blood pressure after two, can't eat food for a week after three, and after four I just sit in the bottom of the tub rocking back and fourth crying. If we lose to the point we don't go to a bowl I probably won't survive and I don't want to die yet. Can we change the subject to what bowl will we go to please?
