I wouldn't care losing to Arky if we ended up winning the west.

Other than most the other AU posters would be banned and I would be alone

What was the beginning of this strange rivalry between AU and Arky fans?

No clue. Not a rivalry I take part in. We are highly favored and if we lost it would be a shite storm.

I would be fine with that shirt storm if we went on to win the west.

At least McElroy isn't going to be a complete homer
like that jackass FSU guy on ESPN.

LSU could very well beat Alabama.
And Alabama could very well blow LSU out.
Let's deal with it in November.

There really wouldn't have been anything wrong with featuring a bunch of real journalists for the SEC network. This isn't supposed to be a high school project where the school quarterback and defensive ends awkwardly stumble around for the best way to imitate platitudes they've heard

I can already see that McElroy has decided that his niche will be to be the guy who "goes against the grain" with all of his picks.

He is trying too hard.

Honestly if he picked bama (which I think he thinks they will win) us LSU fans would be melting, saying he's biased and calling for his head.

But when we do beat bama this year he looks like he actually knows what he's doing

Since people are falling for this troll I'll state it again.

The question was "Who, if anyone, can knock Alabama off in the SEC West" not "Who will win the Alabama vs. LSU game"

There are only 2 sane answers to the question he was asked, LSU and Auburn. The first guy said Auburn.

Besides, fans are WAY too butthurt about this crap. Analysts are supposed to give you their true opinions, not be homers. They're in a lose/lose situation, if they talk up "their" team everyone hates on them for being homers. If they talk down their team everyone freaks out.

That's to be expected with a lot of young guys on a brand new show.

It's just a make-up for his faux pas comments that Miles embarrassed him about. He's got Skoal and Tide detergent running through his teabagging veins....

Why can't that just be his prediction??? Nothing wrong with an unbiased prediction right?

In other words avoiding being honest about what he thinks. 

I think you meant he's avoiding being biased, which is what all journalists should do.
