LSU is going to beat Texas pretty convincingly. While you shouldn't let this game get you down on the rest of your season you're definitely wearing orange tinted glasses if you think Texas is going to

LSU plays in a conference full of primitive offenses that make an opposing D look good.  Things look a lot different when they run into competent, modern offenses. Georgia was averaging 18.5 PPG

LSU is a mortal enemy for UT at this point. We are competing with these cheating, stupid motherfuckers for every recruit we want - yard, by hard fucking yard. ATM opened the door for the SEC to come i

I can't wait... sitting in my office right now just ready to start drinking. Can you believe it's been 10 years since GameDay was here? I guess I'm going to have to get up early and go out there (possibly with the kids)

 

Fyi, Looks like Shiner Saloon is setting up for the LSU fans so stay away.

Imagine thinking that having Coach O as the head coach of your college football team is something to be proud of.

Proud might be a little strong of a word to describe it. 

But for as much as people insult him, if Texas loses on Saturday, no one will let you forget you lost to a team coached by him. And I'm not even talking LSU fans.

Herman/Burrow relationship story from Baton Rouge paper. (excerpts)

 

In the midst of his official visit to Ohio State in December 2014, Joe Burrow sat in a meeting with his family, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer and offensive coordinator Tom Herman.

Burrow had committed to Ohio State earlier that year, after Herman convinced Meyer to offer him a scholarship. During his recruitment, Burrow didn’t receive many offers to major schools. Herman believed in him, one of the only coaches at Ohio State who did.

As Burrow approached signing day, reports swirled about Houston’s interest in Herman, who had just won the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant. Burrow knew Houston would probably offer Herman the job. The son of a college coach, Burrow understood the profession.

Herman’s phone rang in the midst of Burrow’s visit. Herman stepped out of the room. He never came back. Later, Burrow and his family discovered the call had come from Houston, telling Herman it had sent a private plane for him.

Almost five years have passed, and on Tuesday afternoon, Burrow sat inside LSU’s practice facility as the starting quarterback for the Tigers. He signed with Ohio State out of high school, but he left as a graduate transfer after his sophomore year and came to LSU.

Herman spent two years at Houston before he took the head coaching job at Texas. And now, on Saturday, LSU and Texas will play a game that pushes the winner toward a spot in the College Football Playoff.

“I owe a lot to coach Herman,” Burrow said. “He was the only coach from big-time programs that had any faith in me.”

After Herman took the job at Houston, Burrow re-evaluated his decision. He had about two months before national signing day. Ohio State hired Tim Beck as its new offensive coordinator a month later, and Burrow’s father called Meyer, expressing the family’s concerns. They didn’t know Beck.

“Well,” Meyer said, “what do we need to do?”

“We need to get coach Beck into our home,” Burrow’s father said.

Burrow’s family arranged an in-home visit a few days after Beck took the job, talking with Meyer and a coach they were meeting for the first time. The conversations solidified Burrow’s commitment.

After two years at Ohio State, Burrow decided to transfer. He had not played much. He thought about Texas but landed at LSU, where he led the Tigers to a 10-win season. After Burrow won Fiesta Bowl offensive player of the game honors, Herman texted him congratulations.

Um, so your coach is such a joke that when he beats a team that's a 6 point underdog, the losing team should expect indefinite humiliation and mockery simply because they lost to him?

That's your position? Then yeah, I guess "proud" would be a little strong.

Did I read correctly that LSU has never beaten a top 10 non conference team on the road?

 

To be fair, I’m guessing like their SEC brethren they havent played many if any of those games.

edit- maybe the bot can help here. In my extremely limited research, they had a 52+ game non-con win streak not long ago. Of those, a whopping 6 were road games.

‘Here are the “10 best wins” from athlon -

home vs. Troy (no shit?!!), Oregon State, WVU 2010, VA Tech 2007

neutral - UNC, Wisconsin, Oregon 

away - Washington, az. St (these 2 teams went 7-5 or So),  WVU 2011

Even if that's true, how many have they even played? They're not historically complete pussies in non-conference like some of their conference brethren but I still can't imagine the number is very high. 

How are they in true road games over the last couple of years?

I'll be drunk before Corso puts on the head gear. I'll be slobberkonckered and naked at kickoff. Win or lose, I likely won't survive this game. 

If I don't post by Sunday 9pm, I've died. Will someone please go to Downtown Houston and delete the porn off my work computer before anyone in my family hears about it? Thanks in advance.

According to research from Penn State University, artificial fields end up 35 – 55 degrees hotter than natural grass in ideal heating conditions of sunshine and low humidity. Fortunately, the 6:30pm start time will allow some time to pass from the high angle, mid-afternoon sunlight. Once shaded, the artificial field will be able to steadily cool. However, with an afternoon high temperature of 103 degrees, a conservative estimate places the field temperature over 130 degrees at kickoff.

I'll never forger watching the Sugar Bowl hype video and hearing Tom say: "Let them know what they signed up for". It gave me the chills. Win or lose, we will be the more physical team on Saturday. I love this coaching staff's style.
Yeah, that hype video was great.
This comparison is off.... Manziel couldn't sniff Breg's jock strap. 

At this point, he might if you gave him some coke.
