What other message boards are saying (LSU Edition)

[NO SIR EEE]

So, I really only found some of these on Tiger Rant. Their other boards seem to be paid boards and obviously I am not a subscriber. I feel like this comes up a little short here, but if anyone sees anything, feel free to add and Go Vols!
From Tiger Rant
-I believe Tennessee is a decent team, but let’s be honest, the best team they have played is a down Florida and an overrated Pitt. Let’s not be quick to let their inflated numbers concern us.

-Tennessee sucks. LSU by 24

-Tennessee still has the # 1 offense in the country. That’s impressive no matter who you’re playing.

-I really hope vol fans enjoy their pregame breakfast and some good Cajun hospitality, but we are gonna out physical Tennessee and win the game.

-This won't be the first time that LSU faced an overrated as all get out Tennessee team. And if victorious, certainly isn't the first time that LSU shut the Vols fans up either.

-This year just has a 2000 LSU feel to it in a lot of ways. There were a lot of people (believe it or not including LSU fans) who thought that Saban was a dud. We had just lost to UAB the week prior to #11 Tennessee coming into Tiger Stadium. A lot of folks just thought it was a foregone conclusion that Tennessee was so much better than LSU and discounted it as basically an automatic loss. LSU beat that Tenn team in OT and the rest was history.

-I see the same arrogance Tennessee fans brought to their baseball program spills over into football. Why don’t you guys beat Bama at least once in 20 years before you start talking ****?

-Yeah, Tennessee's schedule really isnt impressive the more the games play out. Its really looking like FSU, Miss State and Auburn are better tests than Pitt and Florida. Florida is like Auburn with them where the games tend to be close and wild regardless how good or better the other team is, i do think Florida is better than Auburn, for clarity. But FSU and State look better than Pitt and Florida.

-The only reason Tennessee has the #1 offense in the country is because they ran the score up on Ball State & Akron. Not surprising considering how classless of a program they are.

-Prediction for the game 42-20 Tennessee. They’re going to work LSU. Stadium will be empty in the 3rd.

-Tenn secondary is horrible but their dline is good. Also have shown they can pass rush heavy when need be too. They're not a good match up for LSU. Their strength is our strength, their weakness is our weakness alongside our bad Oline with their good DL being a strength. However, their DL may be deceptive since their secondary is so bad it boosts their stats up. They can get after the QB though.

-LSU has played slow all 3 big games including the defense so they have to play good immediately or Tenn is going to kill us early. Best thing LSU can do is control the LOS somehow and move slowly methodically with a run game. Control the clock, keep it away from them, score. Hard to do though when their DL is a strength and our Oline is a weakness. Not a good match for us. Either Daniels finally grows eyes that can see the field and throw anticipation routes or we're fricked. Has Daniels completed a deep ball all year? It feels like no.

-I can’t wait until we stomp Tennessee because their fans are like Texas fans. Every year they claim they are back. Tennessee almost lost to Florida. Y’all aren’t as good as your fans think you are.

-LSU has to start hot on Saturday. Tennessee secondary is very bad and we NEED to get our playmakers involved. LSU defense has the capability of giving Tennessee some serious trouble. With that being said if the offense is going 3 and out they will start to weigh on us. They will need help from this offense.

Well ain’t they a lively group of pissants.

Well that may be, but at least we don't smell like corn dogs.

What on earth is this dude talking about?
416 yards against supposedly one of the best DL in the country (Pitt) then 576 against Florida.
They only scored 21 vs Ball St in the 2nd half and had their 4th string QB in vs Akron. (Akron deserved to be run up the score for their dirty play)
And trying to remain unbiased but how is the program classless? How is Heupel classless?

LSU fans man. That's what they do.

 

[Orange931]

Their fans are garbage.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

2000 Tennessee feel? GTFO. This ain’t AJ Suggs taking snaps.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Thanks for this, No Sir Eee!

I think this will be a tough game for us, but some of their fans are just delusional. Win by 24? They couldn't even put up 24 points against Florida State or Auburn. They can win, but if they do, it's going to be something like 38-34.

A few of them seem to be realistic. Our secondary is awful. We have shown a tendency to make mistakes at various points this season as well. Those are the things that give them the best chance. But no way they're winning 42-10 or something stupid like that.

These posts all have an aire of truth to them:

-I believe Tennessee is a decent team, but let’s be honest, the best team they have played is a down Florida and an overrated Pitt. Let’s not be quick to let their inflated numbers concern us.

I agree; we haven't played anyone yet. Pitt is looking like a dud. And still difficult to know what to make of a win that nearly turned into a loss against a Florida team that beat Utah, got obliterated by Kentucky, and nearly lost to a bad USF team. But by the same token, difficult to know what to make of an LSU team that got beat by Florida State, beat Miss State, and scrapped by a bad Auburn team. That's part of the reason why it's such a critical game for both teams. There are reasons to be skeptical of both of these teams right now, but both have also shown flashes of being very good.

LSU probably better than I thought they were a few weeks ago but I really haven't watched them enough. Passing stats from Auburn game would seem to favor us. We have above average run D and if we run more man D w/ DBs we'll probably fare better than UF in performance. JH may have same strategy as UF though...keep everything in front...no gash plays, and depend upon LSU punting more than UT. Listening to Hooker do play breakdown on UF game gives me alot of confidence that he can handle what LSU throws at him on D. LSU @ home is an issue if we start slow, but we move so fast b/t plays, it shouldn't be an issue...

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Lol at them acting like they beat Bama all the time.

 

[PayingUTKTuition]

That 2000 game will be forever etched in my memory. We left the game early because we were getting liquor bottles thrown at us. Just so happened there was a taxi right outside the gate. I had him take us to the car, and we watched the overtime from the hotel. Up until that night, I thought The Swamp was the worst fanbase in the SEC.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

It’s only a matter of time before Tennessee is the most hated fan base. Football, basketball, baseball, Lady Vols all trending upwards.

Is this something you want? Having a reputation for being horrible is something I'd rather leave to LSU.

 

[The Original Fade]

I see us jumping out early then trying to hang on at the end, but not being as lucky as we we were against UF. My prediction is LSU 31-28

As always, thank you, No Sir Eee!

Some credence to these 3 statements and the true strength of teams we played. . Believe we will outgun them. 42-24

You can’t reason with these people, don’t even try .. when I told a coworker in Lafayette that I was not on the Geaux Tigahs train,(ie I despised the Tigahs) she tried to get me fired

My parents, who were well in their 60s and minding their own business, got beer thrown on them and swore they would never go back to that stadium … LSU fans have no business calling people classless.. trust me.. they are sore losers, so hightail it out of there afterwards if we win and don’t linger (day game should cut down on shenanigans though)

 

[kcvols1]

Well that may be, but at least we don't smell like corn dogs.

Welp, I know what I’m getting for lunch today!

 

[knox73]

Tennessee has 3 straight SEC games coming up where their ability to play with a physical opponent will be tested. LSU can control the second half if Vol offense is not in sync. Super running backs and a grind it out mentality. The kicking game could be critical and Vols need a fast start. The LSU defensive coordinator is quite good so the matchup between House and Heupel will be quite interesting. Bru McCoy may have a breakout game. I like the early game time.

I sat in the student section that game, and was swept onto the field at the end. I was wearing at least three glasses of bourbon, and perhaps the contents of someone’s dip cup.

 

[rdk4121]

They're acting like Auburn wasn't one of the worst teams in the SEC, or that FSU is that good, who just got manhandled by Wake Forest. I do think Mississippi state is a pretty good team and that was a good win, but Mississippi state isn't as good as we are.

Also, to the guy from their board that asked if Daniels has completed a deep pass all year, I honestly don't think so. His average yards per completion is dead last among SEC starting QBs (7.0). He hadn't thrown an int to his credit, but just 6 TDs in 5 games isn't particularly impressive. Also been sacked the second most in the SEC at 15, and now might be playing this week at less than 100% (and probably much less than that). He's obviously a good runner, as he's their leading rusher. Again, seems to have an ankle injury so that might not be as much of a factor.

Their receivers have not been good this year point blank, they've had a ton of drops already this year. They're very deep at running back. No one that's a All-SEC type, but several pretty solid guys. I think we'll hold up pretty well there though.

 

[zaqhhh]

LSU has talent and there is some truth to the Pitt and UF claims in terms of us not having played a tough schedule. They are one to talk though as well, far from impressive.

We really don't know. I could see us blowing them out, winning close, or losing. It is really hard to know.

 

[Volbrando]

I hope we do jump out early... we've seemed to sputter on the first few possessions this season

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Regarding the near loss to Florida, I just hope it cured Heupel of his Fulmeritis of playing not to lose rather than playing to win. On Texas highway US130/183 to I-10, Seguin, don't ease off the accelerator and drive at 35mph instead of its posted 85mph speed. Get it, Heup!?
