come on. Washington is not going to finish anywhere near the top 25 by the end of the year. They are not very good at all and you know it.

You guys have a very good chance at coming into Kyle on a 2 game losing streak.

Auburn didn't make you hold or fumble at a high clip. Your team isn't as good as thought. The polls are waiting to drop them as soon as they lose. They are talented but undisciplined and have no identity on offense whatsoever. Injuries are mounting also. Losing Copeland won't help that struggling OL in the run game

So basically your argument is: pick and choose which games and statistics to use to make my argument work. Ignore the arguments of others who use my same logic.

We got it, kid.

First off, Vegas lines don't mean shite. All they are doing is putting the line where the money will fall on both sides and they will make money off the transaction fees. As more people pile on the LSU side, the line will shift. Watch. It has nothing to do with the teams on the field, but the bets being placed.

Where did this kindly, gentler, gayer VC come from?

What happened to calling everybody ignorant kids? And claiming A&M is "shite" in your parlance



same vc that can obviously tell there are a lot of young a&m fans on here that really don't quite understand it yet. I was there once at LSU...I remember...we sucked, but I thought since this was MY time there, that we were going to be good no matter what.

As for saying a&m is shite...never said that.....I actually like a&m. I have simply said they aren't near as good as some are letting on....their wins have been drastically overstated by beating some absolutely horrible teams. I don't think 7-5 is shite......hell LSU was there in 2008....before finishing 8-5. But, that was a horrible year for us...I would suspect 8 wins for you guys would be pretty good as of right now. I expect those expectations to change in the next few years though.

I'll tell you one thing I like that there Johhny football feller ya'll got. He is a good one and we may just have us a hard time stopping him.
In reality I really do think that ya'll have a really good qb and I think it will be a very good hard fought game when we roll in to CS.

RGIII looked like all-pro against the Saints his first game too...remember? Competition matters. He will continue to look good the next 2 weeks...before a&m gets a reality check. Their 5-1 will be much like State's 7-0 start.....nice...but really neither will have beaten a team with a winning record...so somewhat diluted.

Line Movement

Normal line moves occur from the end of the early period until perhaps an hour or two before gametime. These moves again occur exclusively because of money, but it is a different type of money.

wow...you are really naive. You hear this and believe this. The simple truth is that 75% of the games at vegas have substantial money bet on one side or the other.....some casinos will then lay off....many won't. But, you are the vegas line expert I can tell....really hilarious that you think lines have nothing to do with the level of team on the field...

I think the majority of Ags will agree with you. Most people I talk to expect 7-8 wins this year. I still don't see any Ags stating we'd have a 10+ win season this year. Maybe you or another poster who keeps claiming we think we're now world-beaters can point them out?

we don't have to Aggie. We are LSU the last time i checked. You are still A&M.

2010 wasn't that long ago and the talent level hasn't changed.
