How did you come to the conclusion that LSU's players are better than Arkansas'? Did you use past history of performance to determine this? How did you determine that LSU has a better coaching staff than Arkansas. Did you use their past performance and record?
if you're too stupid to figure out that our players are more physically talented than theirs then I'm not sure what to tell you

You've gone from full-blown stupid to full-blown rustled between your last 2 posts and didn't even read what I posted other than past performance weighing in on something. You might need to step outside and take a breather, I feel like your forehead veins are probably popping out right now. Even posters from your own fanbase, as well as several other casual observers, have popped into the discussion to tell you how dense you're being here.

Why? LSU is clearly not on the same level as Alabama anymore. Losses to UA should be assumed and accepted at this point. Definitely not worthy of getting any ball rolling.

Nice, we've been arguing with the Kurt Kobain of SECr all day.
One good thing that's come of this - it's united like 5 different fanbases on the rant, which is usually next to impossible.

No, the point of our excitement is that our most physically talented players are returning.
Oh, you mean the players that have performed well in the past thereby giving you reason to believe they will perform well in the future, maybe even better than in the past?
Interesting.

The players from LSU's team were ranked higher than 46 of their last 50 opponents. They have 14 losses over that time period. LSU was "physically better" than all but 4 of their last 50 opponents and they lost 14 times. That means they lost 10 times in the last 4 years when they were physically the better team, or roughly 2-3 times a year.
That would tell me that the odds say that LSU will lose 1-2 games this year where they are the more physically talented team.

But none of that matters, right? Just like past performance, coaching, location, game prep, anything; it's all just a game of chance, gambler's fallacy, etc.

But how do you judge who has great physical talent? Is there some machine they go stand in that spits out the results or do we watch them do things on a football field to see how their physical attributes transition to the game they are playing? And in that light, how do we know how their physical talent stacks up against other players physical talent until we watch them compete against eachother?

Is the only response I can even think to muster to that completely, utterly insane sentence you strung together there. So "talent" is a real, tangible thing that exists, but past performances do not. Does this even make sense in your own head?
