The Tiger Rant prediction thread where most everyone had LSU winning by 20+ or even 35+


Were you surprised LSU FANS were predicting this?? I'm not sure what else you expected. I'm saying based on the expectations of everyone outside of LSU, that LSU met the expectations against TCU. Maybe since LSU has destroyed teams in games like that in the past regardless of competition that people expected such a performance, but it certainly wasn't something many people were honestly considering as a possibility, especially considering the point of the spread. People were obviously putting their money that dictated LSU wins by 4 points, and they won by that amount and more. That should account for a large enough sample size to give you a majority view on the "expectation" for LSU against TCU.

Sooo basically LSU homers? Every fanbase has their homers


Didnt stop you or one of your buddies from linking a post from the biggest alabama homer on this site to prove your point that we "all" were expecting to have 8 million yards of offense and beat them by a bazillion points.

Did you watch the game genro? We dominated them thoroughly. The score SHOULD have been 42-10 or some shite.

Just making a point bro. LSU ridicule and deride other teams bold predictions and post game spin as if they don't do it themselves

Well you obviously know it's wrong, so why worry about it? Generalizations are stupid and almost always not indicative of every person and the commonly varied views they hold.

Vtech is several levels below TCU

TCU has a better head coach, QB, OLine, and secondary

LB's are a wash

WR's wash

Vtech has only one thing better. Dline

I wasn't trying to prove you were "all" saying what ABDIW is thinking. It was the first prediction thread I saw on your team board, and I thought it fit my argument.

But if you can link me to any Bama fans who gave the slightest concern over Virgina Tech's "retarded good defense" before your game, I will gladly eat crow.

Personally I thought Alabama would kill Va Tech, and they did dominate them. It's week 1, so I don't really put much stock in any performance seeing as there are teams who always get better, and teams that always get worse. Bama is one of those teams that gets better, so I wouldn't worry. LSU hopefully will get better. We know the defense has a good chance of improving, the offense looked good, and in the past it hasn't improved much, but this year with a new OC, and that OC in only his first game provided a performance that had not been seen at LSU in awhile, LSU's offense hopefully will get better.

It's stupid to make judgments on one game. End of story.

We SHOULD have beaten VaTech by more then we did, but after scoring in the 3rd, we never called a play capable of big yardage for the rest of the game. If you actually watched the Bama game would see that for the last quarter and a half of football alabama never even tried to score again. He even took Cristion Jones out of the return plays so we wouldnt take anymore of them back to the house. Typical Saban playing a coach he respects with a lead.

Ok. I'm still not seeing how this all adds up to "LSU should definitely be ahead of Bama"

Yeah, sure but it seems to be more about covering your arse after the fact


Thanks for that. I will now hold on to the fact that bama left a lot of points out on the field during last year LSU game.

If we would have continued to gash your defense by running Eddie Lacy instead of passing it would not have been close. It should not have been close.

Because after all, I wouldn't want to give credit to LSUs defense and make it seem like I am covering my team's arse.

But that is exactly the core of both badger and GC's points in this thread right now.

I'm a gator fan bro lol. I agree on defense but we have to show consistency on offense. I think it was smoother sat then any time last year, but It's still a work in progress.

Big difference, hoss. LSU is known for great defenses, and you knew that before our game last year.

How concerned were you about Virgina Tech's amazing defense Friday night before the game?
