re: 6 of 7 teams in the West will be ranked this week....

We could dance this dance all day.....but the fact remains that your confidence to beat LSU at home at night vs a team that has revenge on their mind is asinine. Our team is young, but improving and showed a lot of promise in the second half of the Wisky game. I expect it to be a battle as always, but if you aren't the least bit concerned then you are just being a complete homer and that's the truth of it.

Of course I'm a little concerned, it's the SEC West and it's Ole Miss vs LSU. Probably the most underrated rivalry in college football(Ole Miss's fault for sucking when media took off...sorry). I look forward to the game for a few reasons:

1. It'll be at night. Death Valley at night is a thing of beauty.
2. Seems like it's never been a proven,"know what you have" OM team vs a young,"potential everywhere" LSU team. (Not that one means more than the other).
3. I thought LSU getting down and scoring 24(?) unanswered points to win it was HUGE for such a young team. And I'm not referring to the win part, I'm referring to the not giving up part. This will be a team that won't fade away, when down, like 2008.
4. It's LSU vs Ole Miss. I'm surprised more LSU fans aren't wanting OM to become truly relevant again. I'd assume it's because the new generation of sidewalk(all schools have them, not a stab) LSU fans, have only seen Bama/LSU for the past 8 years, or so, while having no idea about the 100 years before that.

Listen, I know OM very well....my brother and twin sister went there and it has turned into quite the sibling rivalry. I love OM and did quite a bit of partying there in my college days. I have always wanted OM to improve ( for my bro/sisters sanity for one) but also because if you guys get better and start beating more teams in the West (not just named LSU) that can only help us out. You guys have always played us close no matter how good you were....and I don't expect that to change. Now you just need you do that with other teams in the West

Nothing beats 2011, when you had

1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Arkansas

at one point
