I don't even know how to respond anymore.

All events in life are not coin flips. They are not games of chance. We do not live in the matrix.

I am confused now.

Are dice coached before they roll?

No it's not. At least it isn't the way that people are trying to make it out to be in this thread, in regards to us losing to Arkansas for two years in a row

Yes he is. You should read some of his replies in the thread about a Catholic Church on campus naming its student center after the Saban's because they donated a few million to it.

Football games for the most part are. All of the idiots on the SEC rant and all of the desperate Arkansas fans who want to believe that they have a good chance of beating us next year can agree with you but you're incorrect, sorry. As I've said, Vegas eats people who think like you alive because you're wrong

Makes sense. That must be why Alabama has won 90% of their games the last 7 years and Vanderbilt has won 30%, and why Alabama has won 75% of their games the last 100 years and Vanderbilt 40%. We must just have a super lucky coin.

No, they don't. If Vegas let you get toss up odds on every game then Vegas would go bankrupt in 17 minutes. That is why Vegas has LINES.

I said repeatedly that I just thought it was funny, being Catholic and never hearing of a single Catholic church not being named after a saint or religious figure or figure named after a church, that Bama of all places would name a catholic church's center after Nick Saban. Just because you're a defensive bitch that disagrees doesn't make my opinion wrong. It was just an observation and I repeatedly said that

Sports games are like a coin flip?

Does crowd noise impact a coin flip?

Does coaching impact a coin flip?

Does morale impact a coin flip?

This seems like a stretch.

And because Arkansas beat LSU by 17 two years ago that must mean they were going to repeat right? You're taking what I'm saying out of context. It's still the fact that morons like you use the past to predict the future in sports. Just because Alabama has beaten an FCS team by 100 points every time they've ever played in history doesn't mean that it's going to happen again.

Who named the Catholic Church's student center though? ( you know it wasn't the church even though you keep repeating it)?

Wait...didn't you just say that LSU should win next year because of talent alone but now every game is a coin flip and that doesn't matter.

Morons like me use past performances, returning players, location of game and styles to predict the future of games.

You know, like what Vegas is doing RIGHT NOW to determine lines for next year which they already will allow you to gamble with.

In regards to a bunch of jerkoffs using the outcome of LSU vs Arkansas in two random years to predict the outcome of LSU vs Arkansas next year? Yes, they're like a coin flip. Ya'll can take what I'm saying out of context all you want and move the argument around all you want, but the fact that Arkansas beat LSU in 2014 and 2015 isn't a sound argument that LSU is going to lose next year, or that it should even be likely.

If we're going to use anything to predict next year's outcome, why don't we look at LSU's superior talent and coaching? Is that not a better indicator that LSU is going to win next year than the fact that Arkansas played us well two years ago?
