You forgot to say the one extra loss was a direct 34-10 drubbing in a game LSU didn't play all that well.

Not predicting the future just pointing your flawed logic leaving important information out.


Since we are on the topic of flawed logic.

Why are you using past seasons results to predict future games? A&M beat a 3-9 Auburn team by 40 points at Auburn only for them to nearly win the National Championship the very next season.

You kicked our arse last year (and the 2 times before that) but that doesn't mean anything this year.

Vegas still likes LSU to finish ahead of A&M but behind Bama/Aub.



I guess I would have to ask you the same question you asked.....why do you think this year will be any different for LSU than last year? A good year by most standards, certainly, but not up to LSU standards, right?

2 game sample sizes matter, 26 game sample sizes don't. Got it


I will go slower.

We are in the same division.

We play each other.

The winner of this game decides where we finish.


Got it?

If you want to discuss LSU then start your own damn thread. Mother of God! This was actually a decent discussion then you, a UGA Fan, which was no where mentioned, pull the douche twist. Let A&M and LSU have a discussion




Decent discussion? It's a troll thread. Nothing more, nothing less. A bunch of LSU fans coming on one thread to troll A&M....but to you this is a decent thread.

I could ask the same question about any team in the country including Georgia! We are young, but that don't mean young automatically equals losses. The last two Heisman winners were freshman

Learn how the rant works. First post are 90% flame attempts. It is the responses that follow that make it a decent discussion

1) maintained high scoring offense
2) much improved defense
3) LSU, Bama have qb problems, Mississippi schools overrated

In neither year did you beat LSU or finish higher in the SEC.

Congrats on the polls though. I can see how that is a big accomplishment for such an average program...

We were 22-5-1 against the baggies from 1944-1986 lost 5 in a row now we we are 3-0 this century, no fear here. We have a want to play this game.

A lot of young bucks don't know this but A&M and LSU is like one of the top ten oldest rivalries

One game in a season of 13. I would gladly lose to LSU every game indefinitely if it meant A&M won every other game as well.

As for finshing higher in the SEC. To quote Ricky Bobby "If you aint first youre last!". Who gives a shite about finishing 3rd or 4th of 5th.

These are my favorite posts.

"A&M sucks and has never won anything!!"

"You finished 5th in the nation? Big Deal! All elite teams do that!"

This pretty irrelevant to judging the work of an entire season. It's just one game.

finish higher in the SEC


This means very little also. Why did we get selected for a better bowl than you if you "finished higher than us" (even though we tied)? Where did finishing higher than Bama in the SEC get you in 2011. We had a better record and finished higher in the national rankings. I'll take that every time over winning a single game.

I am not and I even said it up front. The point was not score predictions but fan confidence.

LSU has beat A&M in 3 straight games, 2 of 3 blowouts, 2 or 3 in their state. A&M has not beaten LSU in 19 years. I know teams didn’t play for a while… don’t get lost in the joke…… but now that we do we have kick their arse pretty easily.

I am not saying LSU will win again this year for sure, in fact it will be a bit of a shocker if LSU dominates them as well as they are playing and as well as young as LSU is. Just saying on average LSU fans feel more confident going into a game against an opponent they have dominated than say against Alabama whose situation the last 3 games is almost an opposite mirror.

Here is the irony, you finished 5th in your conference yet 5th in the polls.


Just let that sink in.
