How are the "tigers" treating this game?

Fans aren't skeptical

Opposing fans are

I think this game will be tougher than most of our fans want to admit.

After last season, and the new HC's past record and "lukewarm" reception upon hiring....I do not think AU will be overlooking anyone on their schedule.

That is what I am thinking. I also think that if Dooley wants a look from a major conference, he will pull out the stops.

You have it backwards. This is a trap game for la tech. I fully expect la tech to win and chiznicks record to go to 5-20.

It was a TRAP game for us (MISS ST) last year. I lost 100 dollars on that game

+1
No serious Auburn fan is taking this, or any other game on our schedule, lightly. I think this game and it's outcome sets the tempo for our season. LA Tech is a good team, we "should" beat them, but a loss or a very close game will increase the angst by 1000%

Just to be clear, I did not mean that post to be negative in any way. I think AU will take the CORRECT approach and treat every game as important and prepare the best they can.

Why on earth would you bet on a season opening game AT a non-BCS opponent's house? You had to know they'd be jacked up for this.

Dumb bet.

Can any game be considered a "trap" game when virtually no one (other than aubies) think AU will be worth a poop?

Yeah, but in past seasons, Tech is usually penciled in as a win.

Didn't LA Tech take them into overtime a couple of times?

I think they did a couple of years ago, since you brought it up. They have also beat Alabama.

From a LSU fan perspective, Tech is looked at as a win for us.

Tech has a very good team and if AU isn't clicking it could be trouble for us. I say someting like 27-24 AU.

I don't think it's a trap game due to it being the 1st game of the season but I do see it as a tough well fought game

What is the odds that Tech wins? 70% 80%?
