#30 - LSU vs Appalachian State

LSU vs Appalachian State
August 30, 2008
Tiger Stadium
Baton Rouge, LA

Why?: National Champions vs National Champions baby! Plus, we're all morbidly curios to see if the Mountaineers can pull off another stunning upset of a top ten ranked team in their home stadium to open the season.

Who do I think will win?: LSU. Appy State's win last year was a combination of arrogance on Michigan's part and weird, streaky luck. I'm not saying that they won't put up a hell of a fight and maybe even keep it close for most of the game, but when it comes down to it if the Michigan game had been played ten times I'd happily bet that the Wolverines would win the other nine.

Who do I hope will win?: You'd think I would go with the Mountaineers here since an LSU loss to a 1AA team would give us the opportunity to say "at least ULM is a 1A team," but that would be a huge black eye for the conference, so geuaueaioueaox tigers or whatever.

Good

I am glad to see I am not the only Bama first then SEC second fan. People seem to forget sometimes that the better the teams record when you play them the more impressive a victory over saidtem looks

Well......

I will have to say that for the most part I pull for the SEC teams, with one great big ecxeption. And that is AWBURN, (its even painful to type it) because they could have the best or worst record and it wouldn’t matter to me, beating them is all that counts. I will pull oh so hard for ULM this year, Oh please Lord let them fall on their face, and to be honest, only if they were playing Notre Dame would I MAYBE pull for them. Sorry, but I feel it’s part of what makes the rivalry so much more than the rest of the nation.

Glad to see Bama nation supporting SEC instead of huge embarrassing upset. Well with the possible exception of Auburn. I was actually hoping yall would pound Fl St. last year. And as much fun as the ULM game was, secretly I was upset (but don’t tell anyone I said that).

I hope you guys can get up the will power to root for Auburn against WV this year. Would look really good for SEC.

I'll

Be the first to say that last year I rooted for LSU against the Suckeyes right nest to my best friend. He is a huge LSU fan from Forked Isle LA. Also when all sec teams play big out of conference I root for them. I dont know but just like to see the sec ruling the roost right now of college football. However when it comes to play in the sec i hope awburn looses every game…...................and yes those purple tigers too.

Not a snowball's chance in hell...

I’m glad I won’t have any mixed feelings about it since Rich Rod is gone. Bill Stewart is ok by me.

Also...

Wouldn’t yall agree that Appy St. is better than ULM though even though Appy is 1-AA?

Keep in mind Jonno...

...that TexasTideGirl is from Monroe and her life is a living hell right now.

Not only..

am I from Monroe, but I went to ULM (when it was NLU). We won a National Championship in 1987, when I graduated. Unfortunately, they changed the name to ULM and the mascot from Indians to Warhawks(what the hell is that?!), so I don’t recognize them anymore! Also, I have always been a Tide fan. Had NLU been 1A I would still have been for the Tide! Blood is thicker than where you have to go to school.
