re: Lets talk 2017

LSU should start 5-0 unless State sneaks up on us in Starkville. I have a feeling we'll beat Florida and Auburn is at home, so we should win that, which would put us at 7-0. Ole Miss in Oxford will be very tricky. At Alabama is an uphill battle at best. Arkie at home we should be able to win. At Tennessee looks tough, then we close with the cupcake auto-win. I would be disappointed with anything worse than 9-3 (and not that thrilled with 9-3 either), but 10-2 or 11-1 are reasonably attainable. Realistically, the worst case should be 7-5, assuming a couple of slips at Florida or Mississippi State or at home against Auburn or Arkie.

I should point out, however, that because we are bringing in a new OC who seems to be a drastic change from the last few years, this will be one of the hardest seasons to predict in recent LSU history. We usually base our expectations of the future on trends we've seen developing in the recent past, but things could be topsy-turvy this year depending on what changes Canada makes. For all we know, we might score 30 on Alabama or not be able to do shite against Aggy. It will be interesting to see.
