It really would be nice if @MikeDeTiger would roll in here. Same with 25, but he's never been here before. @UT-Erin03 has a cool LSU friend, but I'm not sure he's ever posted here or at the old joints.
My LSU friend is still kickin' & we see him frequently, but he's in the midst of dealing with crazy-chick drama and in a bit of a stitch with that lately. He may have popped on back on the old boards after he came to that Arky-Auburn game with me, but he's not much of an internet-chatter like we are so I didn't think he would become a regular.
Sadly, I was not able to get tickets to this epic matchup for this season, but will hold out hopes that maybe I can make it work for a Baton Rouge trip next season. One reason was because our vacation is coming up this week so financially it wasn't going to be very feasible, but also because they didn't release ANY single tickets on the UT online box office like I hoped they would, so there was no chance at all for paying face-value. I guess all the alumni/donors, etc, scooped up all the extras before any public sales happened, but it's a GREAT thing to see the game sold out & everyone ready to watch!
As far as predictions, it's a crapshoot for me to even try to guess this early in the season but I'm going to assume it may be similar to the uGa score in the end - 28-21 with UT taking the win in a close one, mostly with homefield advantage in mind (little as that counts in games like these).
I find it interesting that my NFL team is also playing a LA team - Texans take on the Saints in the MNF feature. However I feel that one will end badly for my team, and Saints will be ready to pound as hard as they can out of anger for what happened in their last playoff game. But those Texans can take it, they get paid the goods to put up or shut up.
