Question for Auburn baseball fans - profwilson
I'm planning to make the trip to Auburn the first weekend in May to catch one of the LSU-Auburn baseball games with my brother and nephew, who live in the area. The only tickets that I can find for less than $150 each are in the "Tiger Terrace," which I take it is a standing room-only section down ...

[quote]look for the guy who wears overalls but no shirt, a straw hat, and is stirring a pot of gumbo with a paddle[/quote] Dude, you're going to have to be more specific for him than that. That could be anywhere in Louisiana south of Alexandria and west of New Orleans! :lol:...

re: Two LSU midweek opponents win big games today - profwilson
[quote]the transitive property does not apply to midweek baseball games[/quote] No...but they do figure into the various computer power rankings formulas that help shape post-season seedings and such. Our mid-week opponents having some feathers in their caps is a positive in that regard....

re: College Football News all time ranking of programs - profwilson
After the upcoming wave of realignment is complete (Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC, USC and UCLA to the Big 10), the SEC will have 11 of the top 25 all-time programs and the Big 10 will have 9. All other conferences combined will have 5. That's a pretty amazing consolidation of power. I don't think...

re: Purdue Starting QB Skipping Citrus Bowl to Prepare for Draft - profwilson
[quote]What's the point of these games anymore?[/quote] I personally love bowl games. In a sport that sees so few high-quality inter-conference matchups, it would be a shame to get rid of these. We may, though, have to start changing the way we think about them. Increasingly, outside the playo...

re: aTm game will be sold out: vindictive, supportive, or delusional? - profwilson
[quote]Kyle Field will be SRO for the LSU game[/quote] No, it absolutely will not. There are plenty of tickets available in the secondary market, including some in the end zone upper decks for less than $50. Heck, you can still buy tickets through LSU! That said, I fully expect a solid crowd...

re: Ties in the World Cup? - profwilson
[quote]better and much simpler sport[/quote] "Much simpler" does not equal "better." If that were the case, we should all just watch track. The 100 meters is as simple as it gets. What makes football great (well, one of the things) is the large variation in potential outcomes due to scoring ...

[quote]This will be the best opponent LSU's has played to date[/quote] I agree, but it is also worth noting that they lost at home to Mississippi State 73-54. If we can't win this one, it will be a LONG year in the SEC......

Three SEC teams playing for bowl eligibility - profwilson
This week, three SEC teams with 5 wins are playing for bowl eligibility: Missouri vs Arkansas, Vanderbilt vs Tennessee, and Auburn at Alabama. If we set the over/under on how many of them win and get bowl eligible at 0.5, would you take the over or the under?...

re: Vegas has LSU 15 point dogs to GA in Atlanta - profwilson
To put it in context, this means Vegas thinks the gap between us and UGA is about the same as between us and UAB (in opposite directions, of course). Don't know how I feel about that... In all honesty, I thought both spreads would be more like 17-20....

re: Opening spread for LSU - Georgia? - profwilson
My guess is 17.5. We were a 13.5-point dog at home against Alabama. Now, we showed that that was a bad line, but still, Georgia is better than Alabama, and the SECCG is a virtual home game for them....

re: Is LSU -3 Free Money? - profwilson
[quote]the margins would be awful for them[/quote] The margins are low for the house on most games in Vegas. Smart players at craps, blackjack, and roulette should win 45-49% of the time. Hell, even slot machines pay back over 90%. Casinos make their money on huge volume (and dining, and drink...
