    Two observations from early in the seasons...

    Neither LSU nor Florida will be the pushovers some of our "fans" think they will be. I'm NOT saying we can't/won't beat them. I'm just saying they are both better than many give them credit for.

    You can't base anything on one game. How good is Miami? FSU was preseason number what 4 last season.

    FSU was playing Alabama toe to toe week 1 until they lost their qb in that game. That injury ruined their season

    One injury. I thought they were loaded with Jimbo recruited talent. Also Miami is looking like dog shit.

    Miami is good enough to be a real test for LSU. I have more than a passing interest in Miami. I'm NOT a fan but I married into a Miami family. They were supposed to be pretty good and everyone here has been preaching all summer about how LSU was going to suck. It looks to me like they DON'T suck.

    This board doesn't wanna hear the truth. We think we gonna roll through the sec west like a knife through butter. This is gonna be an absolute blood bath in the west this year with the top 4 (state, LSU, auburn, and bama). We visit 2 of them. I don't like our chances of winning the west even though I think we're good to really good

    I think LSU is better than most think. I'm a big fan of the REAL USC. O did a good job there and maybe should have got the job. LSU is ALWAYS loaded with talent. If O survives this year......I hope he doesn't. He is a PERFECT fit down there.

    I don't see any undefeated teams this year in the West. However, I like our chances.

    We are 1-0.

    Bama, AU, UF and LSU are all going to be very tough games. Don't kid yourself about LSU on the road and UF.

    Texas A&M is a sneaky tough game no one is talking about. We should be able to handle the other 6 games though Ole Miss on a short week on the road is scary. Just watch an NFL Thursday night game and you can see how ugly those games can be.

    I am not disagreeing but don't tell me Miami is the number 8 team in the country.

    LSU can win this game and still not win 8, maybe not even 7. Miami is not that great. Saw this coming a mile away. LSU will be overhyped the next couple of weeks/months.

    I'm glad 7&Liverpool are buddy buddies now. It's a perfect fit. Ketchup & Mustard.

    At QB. The one position that one injury can cause cataclysmic problems at.

    Miami looking at their 4th straight loss. LSU MAY be improved, but let?s not act like they are beating anyone great.

    Miami's O-line is bad.

    Some of you scare way to easily or are reading too much into our performance in a yawner game in a new coaching situation without our star QB.

    LSU may be slightly better than expected. Florida isn't. They atill have a loooooong way to go. We still stomp the chomp 9/29.

    Not trying to. They are good enough to disprove the "LSU sucks" theory though. FYI, the new LSU QB has never lived in Mississippi, but he has Mississippi roots. His Dad is from Amory. Dad played on the great early 70s Nebraska teams, started as a DB on at least one of the National Champions they had in 70 and 71. Dad currently coaches with Solich at Ohio. His uncle played at Ole Miss. Micheal Haddix carried the uncle on his back into the end zone for the winning TD in the 1980 Egg Bowl, my first one. It's still one of my absolute favorite Egg Bowl Memories.

    My point is why are they starting a freshman QB any ways? Jimbo should have recruited better at QB. I keep hearing about recruiting from all these schools like LSU and FSU but why do they always have QB issues?

    Why did Saban start hurts. And why did he play Tua in the national championship game?
