I'm sure everyone would love an explanation of how that game was a "fluke win" for LSU, if you care to elaborate.

A&M was a top 5 team in 2012. LSU wasn't even top 10. It was an upset win. Why would an explanation be necessary?

Your reasoning is that the game was a fluke because A&M had a higher ranking at the end of the season? That's the best argument that you can make?

LSU was ranked higher at the time, if I remember correctly.

Vegas had LSU winning the game. By definition, it was not an upset. Nice trying, though.

LSU was ranked higher than Alabama for 21-0 but we all know that wasn't an upset. You lack consistency and logic in your argument.

We were ranked higher and Vegas had us winning. You say it was an upset and say my argument lacks logic? You're either stupid or bullshitting me right now.

A&M was a better team in 2012 than LSU. It was a top 5 team. LSU wasn't even top 10. When the better team(A&M) loses to the shitty team(LSU), it is an upset.

OK. You are having trouble, so let's go a little slower.

If Vegas favors a team and that team wins, it is not an upset. Period.

Maybe Arky fans talk like that but the rest of the world calls that a 3 touchdown victory.


Now you've changed your argument. 21 points is called a 3 touchdown victory, but you said extra points shouldn't be implied. aggy beat Arkansas by 12, not 14.

Would you call an 18 point win a 3 touchdown victory? No.

You're clearly OK with being on the wrong side of the argument here, and I'm OK with leaving you there. Have a great day.

Worse team beating better team = upset. I don't know why it's so hard for you to understand that A&M was much better than LSU in 2012.

What exactly is a troll? Top 5 team >>> a team not even in the top 10. Why would you call a factual and obvious statement a troll?

LSU, you've really got to stop beating A&M every year. It's seriously breaking their fans and they can't cope with it.

Just let them win this one time.

The fact that Vegas had LSU to win and not aTm means that it was not an upset.

The vegas odds are moved by what people think and bet toward. The fact that more people bet for LSU to win makes it not and upset. Its just an opinion of yours that LSU was the underdog not the nations.

I'm not commenting on Vegas setting a line based on public opinion, simply that A&M was better than LSU in 2012. Sometimes the score doesn't reflect that.

LSU in their stoic history against Texas A&M(a team they have played more than Auburn) has mustered all of 2 wins at Kyle Field. One of which was a fluke win against Manziel in 2012.

He's an aggy, he doesn't know what defense is.

ETA: And I'm disappointed everyone bit on the fawx troll here. He's been running with this same shtick since the 2012 game.

The Wrecking Crew will return, just you wait. But Speedy Noil will score every time he touches the ball, so it really won't matter.
