Wrong.
We may not like LSU, but most of us respect you.
Huge difference.

Bama couldn't beat A&M at home, what makes anyone think they can beat them at Kyle?

I think it's mostly trolls. At least from the aTm fans. What really irks me though is the media propping up Texas A&M as the number 1 or 2 team. They'll be set up for a disappointing season if everyone buys into that.

There are several reasons why a reasonable person would see that A&M has a solid chance against LSU next year...
1: History shows us that year two in the Hal Mumme/Mike Leach/Joe Tiller/Dana Holgerson/Kevin Sumlin style offenses is when it really takes off. Granted many of those coaches didnt have as much success in year one as Sumlin did, but the potential for our offense to be even better is certainly there.
2: Kevin Sumlin is excellent away from home, compiling a career 26-11 record including a 7-0 mark last year and two career road victories over top-5 teams. His career record against ranked teams away from home is 8-1, the best such winning percentage among current FBS coaches with a minimum of 5 chances.
3: Manziel isnt going to magically get worse. The Tiger's illogical opinion on this matter is just that, illogical. Will he put up the same numbers as last year? Good bet that he doesnt considering he had arguably the greatest season in SEC history. But he will improve as a decision maker and a passer.
4: A&M will have more overall talent next season, albeit much of it very green. Several highly touted players who had to sit last year due to transfer rules added to one of our best classes ever means we will have more to work with. We won 11 games last year with essentially 14 defensive contributers and six scholorship offensive linemen on the roster.
5: Will A&M turn it over five times again next season? It's always a possibility but it's a stretch to count on it. Moreover, will LSU not commit any TOs again? The chances of the TO differential being 5+ again are not great and even with last year the game was decided by 5 points.
6: LSU loses more defensive talent than anyone in the country. Yes, they have a ton of skill backing them up and likely wont drop off significantly, but if we're going to talk about A&M losing defensive starters we have to look at that both ways.
7: A&M's kicking game that cost them seven points in last year's game literally can't get any worse. Our coaches have essentially said they'll put a walk-on out there before missing 7 XPs again next season.
Most importantly though...
8: A&M may simply be the better team next year. We finished last year with more wins and a higher ranking and will start next season with a higher ranking. Is this really such a stretch as LSU fans believe?
Will we beat LSU next year? Maybe, maybe not. BR is probably the toughest road venue in America. The Tiger fans using the "They couldnt beat us at Kyle, so they wont beat us in BR" logic are just being intellectually lazy, though. There are plenty of reasons to think A&M could win.

Good to know the months of trolling has paid off.
Nobody seriously believes this. Many consider it our toughest game of the year given the fact that we get Bama at home. As of right now I wouldnt give us greater than 30% chance of winning that game. Bama would be closer 40-45% and we will heavily favored in just about every other game.
