You're still doing it... it's LSU. Yes, they may not be the LSU that played for

national championship in 2011, but they're not that far from the LSU that held last year's Alabama team to 10 points AFTER they had fired their HC midseason.

They're an elite national program, that's never not competitive in the SEC West, not a shell-of-their-former-selves Texas team. We'll do well to keep up with them.

I have a friend that's an LSU fan..

Sounds about right.

7/25/17 8:18am

I'd put it at 85%.

KingDave

7/25/17 8:19am

Hard to argue against that.

BYUtka

7/25/17 8:20am

Somewhere in the 80-90% area sounds about right.

Martin Van Nostrand

7/25/17 8:21am

That is why they are called "fans"

2FarGone

7/25/17 8:21am

Lol, ugh, they are almost exactly right. Nice speech, though.

What a downer

So he's saying we have a chance?

dilbert

Our list of SEC wins on the road isn't impressive. Ole Miss and Mississippi

Skeptical Optimist

7/25/17 8:30am

We're playing at LSU?

pistol12

Technically a neutral site, but deep in LSU territory

No, but we are on the road

Skeptical Optimist

7/25/17 8:34am

My apologies - to me "on the road" has always meant "away game"

pistol12

7/25/17 8:46am

Completely agree, but a lot of BYU fans like to use it as a preloaded excuse for

7/25/17 10:19am

Our list of road and neutral SEC wins isn't any more impressive

byuTX

7/25/17 8:36am

Ha, true

pistol12

7/25/17 8:46am

Might as well be. It's not like Houston isn't too far from Baton Rouge, and it's not deep in LSU territory.

7/25/17 8:55am

How so, outside of more fans in the stadium?

7/25/17 10:20am

Yes

Backcountry

7/25/17 9:53am

It's not like there's a big sample size

7/25/17 8:46am

We played well enough to win all those games! Mizzou really was a choke.

fulano

7/25/17 10:53am

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Exactly! BYU needs to keep the underdog mentality, especially for the big games

Let's Go Bucs

7/25/17 9:07am

Hilary had a 98% chance of winning, and that wasn't just from her fans...

SoutheastIdaCoug

7/25/17 8:56am

Maybe we can get the Russians to help us out.

7/25/17 9:02am

Well... if LSU doesn't show up we'll win, just like the election

Dissenter

7/25/17 9:51am

In reality, that is probably a fair assessment.

mudpupper

7/25/17 9:09am

they have a different kind of player, overall

I agree with 90%, they should be dang good.

8man

7/25/17 9:28am

This is great news! BYU needs to ALWAYS be the underdog to perform their best!

That's surpsising, I travel for work sometimes to Louisiana and know some pretty

7/25/17 9:34am

After losing Key and Herron & w/ a mediocre QB in a brand new offense, I think

7/25/17 9:47am

Last I read it is looking like Key will play.

7/25/17 10:23am

I think that is pretty unlikely, but you never know -- I know there's been buzz

7/25/17 10:32am

Any fault lines to exploit like BYU did with Oklahoma?

Florwood

7/25/17 9:52am

You mean like injure their QB?

WDaddy

7/25/17 10:08am

They also had a TE playing center.

foofcoug

7/25/17 10:16am

That fact can't be over-emphasized. Their whole line was in disarray because of

dilbert

7/25/17 10:37am

Actually, when you look beyond the team speed and athleticism difference, there

7/25/17 10:17am

We had our own fault line. Unga did not play.

Heath Squashwell

I'd say 50-50; we either win or lose. No ties anymore.

Scooter

7/25/17 10:17am

This isn't how probability works

Dissenter

7/25/17 12:02pm

hmmmmmm. I'd say you have a 50% chance of being right about that...

Scooter

7/25/17 12:10pm

Yeah, that sounds right.

7/25/17 10:45am

I know a lot of us will talk ourselves into believing that our chances are

russkiejedi

7/25/17 11:16am

Yah! We clearly disagree on what an "elite" team is, especially since...

LEDSFW

7/25/17 11:38am

Confused. What do BYU vs. Utah and LSU vs. Alabama have to do with BYU vs. LSU?

russkiejedi

7/25/17 2:05pm

I kind of agree with a lot of what you're saying, but LSU has & will...

7/25/17 2:23pm

Yeah, you're probably right, BUT - their coach got fired mid-season last year...

7/25/17 12:02pm

I'm warning you, don't get your hopes up. Thinking we have better than a long

russkiejedi

7/25/17 12:11pm

Haha, like I said, you're probably right, BUT...

7/25/17 12:22pm

You're still doing it... it's LSU. Yes, they may not be the LSU that played for

russkiejedi

7/25/17 12:50pm

Sorry, I know I'm still doing it, and I know that you're probably right, BUT...

7/25/17 1:12pm

Yeah, maybe the chances are more like 15% instead of 10%.

Kay Malone says "BYU is going to learn what football means in the SEC"

coot20

7/25/17 11:26am

I thought we learned that last year against Mississippi St.

Coogar2

7/25/17 11:52am

Mississippi State is terrible though...

Dissenter

7/25/17 12:05pm

Well, why haven't they learned what football means in their own conference then?

7/25/17 12:24pm

If Mississippi St is terrible then why did LSU only beat them 23-20 at home?

dodgersjazzcougs

7/25/17 12:37pm

...+ LSU LOST to Mississippi St. in the game at Death Valley before that!

7/25/17 12:47pm

They were terrible.

Cougstreak

7/25/17 3:10pm

I do recall and their QB is going to be one of the best we face all year

dodgersjazzcougs

7/27/17 11:17am

He is no Dak and was average. This is the same team to lose to S Alabama and

Cougstreak

7/27/17 3:24pm

We were not much better than them last year and would have the same

dodgersjazzcougs

7/28/17 3:59pm

I meant we would not have had the same record we had if we played in the SEC

Cougstreak

7/28/17 5:09pm

I don't get Kay Malone's comment

bluegato

7/25/17 2:55pm

they're prob LSU fans... no big deal

Unibro

7/25/17 3:56pm

No biggie. Definitely not anti-BYU simply cheering for LSU.

Cougstreak

7/26/17 4:01pm

Everyone is constantly saying that preseason rankings mean nothing and yet so

here's to hoping

7/25/17 11:58am

I'd wait to see what Vegas says

7/25/17 12:02pm

LSU Fan

dodgersjazzcougs

7/25/17 12:17pm

I would agree.

Cougstreak

7/28/17 5:13pm

I think we have better chances than that but it's difficult to say

7/25/17 2:02pm

That's exactly what my LSU buddy expects.
