Take what your seeing & multiply it by 10.
Its bad!
Not to mention nobody is telling us the correct number of casualties.

They may not ever know the real number...or even close to it.

We should press man coverage and bring the house. Have to stop the run this game, LSU has like 4 backs and they all are physical.

Yes, key will be containing Emory and the other backs along with Daniels... we keep their run game/QB run under control and we win by double digits.

This gets funnier every time I watch it

the sequence from the big foot joke to the push ups killed me

so embarrassing

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We’re beating LSU. Our offense is an oiled machine.

Yeah...but our secondary guys and their coaches suck..amirite amirite?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Wow, I recall folks claiming Lyle’s big board was a print out of Rivals

Identifying and signing lower rated guys like Eric Fisher, JJ Watt, Emmanuel Moseley, Antonio Brown, and John Kelly would indicate that they’re wrong.

I've seen these cringe videos several times now. Can anyone explain the "knee bend thing" the yell leaders do??? Is there some meaning to it? It's so weird.

 

[berryvol]

Basically they see value in the line.

Correct. A lot of comments seemed defensive over my post, but it doesn’t even necessarily mean the “pros” think it’s a Tennessee loss. They liked the number that it opened at, perhaps even thinking they could get Tennessee at a better number later in the week if they took LSU at the opening bell. Lots of levels to this.

Lol. Fire everyone!!! We’re in shambles!

Watching the AU v LSU game gives me even more confidence we win.

Yes, but they've got a lot of talent and speed.

The best LSU so far is their come-from-behind win over Miss St. The end is worth watching and doesn't take too long if you skip commercials, yammering, etc. Start at 3:45 left in the 3rd quarter. (If you have youtube tv, it's at 2:32.) LSU got some breaks, but they showed flashes on both sides of the ball. And I think we should expect their best game. I think we win, as you do. And especially if we jump out early and keep pouring it on. But a late slugfest would be nerve-racking. I would not be surprised to see them beat Florida (although I know that is probably a contrarian view).

Josh Pate was defending this on his show one evening. Basically said that while you might not like it, it is a college football tradition, and the traditions are what make college football great.

Hard disagree, Josh. There are good traditions, then there are bad traditions, then there’s 50 feet of crap, and then there’s this cringey garbage.

It’s so cringe and I can’t stop watching.

I get what he's saying, and I'm all for traditions, but my goodness.

This is like the bully that constantly talks smack befor a fight then just gets completely leveled off the first punch.I mean I'm all for traditions but disrespecting peoples heritage,intelligence,what they stand for is just stupid if u ask me.I mean especially if u keep losing to the folks ur constantly trashing.It legit makes not one lick or flipping sense.I mean keep ur traditions but how bout we let off the trash talk until u know maybe we like....Start winning??

 

[MarcoVol]

FD has the spread down to 2.5....... I think this game is going to be tougher than we want to believe it is, but at the same time I think that is way low. Imo it should be -6.5

All of our games are gonna be tough (excluding the gimmes). We have to outscore teams and hope the defense does just enough. Expecting an offense to execute at high level on the road in the SEC is a tough ask.

Since that first Midnight Yell, the event has been held on the night before each home football game. The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band and the five Yell Leaders lead a parade from the Quadrangle, where the Corps dorms are located. Students and alumni line the route from the Quadrangle to Kyle Field, falling into line once those in front of them have passed. Students and alumni gather in the student section of the stands. At midnight, the yell practice begins.[1] The Corps Juniors used to guard Kyle Field all night against students from other schools who may try to pull pranks the night before the game. This job has since been taken over by University Police but only the Corps Juniors are allowed to stand on the track around the Field in recognition of this tradition.[2]
In a departure from their starched white game-day uniforms, at Midnight Yell the Yell Leaders typically wear painted denim overalls and T-shirts. With the senior Yell Leaders looking on, the junior Yell Leaders assemble at midfield and begin doing pushups. The pushups last for approximately nine minutes (3 songs played by the Aggie Band about 3 minutes each). When the juniors are finished, Reveille, the Texas A&M mascot, is escorted onto the field.[1]
The five Yell Leaders then arrange themselves in front of the stands and begin leading the yells. All yells are coordinated using hand signals. When the yell is ready to begin, the head Yell Leader gives a signal and the crowd "humps it," with every person leaning forward to maximize the volume of their voices.[1]
During the Yell Practice the crowd, which generally numbers 20,000 to 25,000 people, is led in the yells.[3] The school songs "Aggie War Hymn" and "Spirit of Aggieland" are sung, the Yell Leaders will also tell two fables about how the Aggies are going to beat their opponent the next day.[2]
At one point during the night the stadium lights are turned off and, traditionally, Aggies are supposed to kiss their dates (called "mugging down").[3] This relates to another student tradition: "When One Aggie Scores, All Aggies Score." When the Aggies score a touch down, safety, or field goal, everyone in the student body who has brought a date to the game kisses his/her date.[2][4]
If no date is present, single students light their cigarette lighters, commonly referred to as "flicking your Bic," to make it easier for two dateless people to find each other in the dark.[3]




Reading these traditions... I just broke the "corniest thing I have read in my life" record like 4 or 5 times.

Same. I knew that they did this, and knew it was sort of like a pep rally, which isn’t my thing, but, ya know…not objectionable.

But now I’ve seen several of them, and I keep thinking “it can’t get any worse.” But somehow it does. Every time. Worse than the last. It’s only out of morbid curiosity that I continue, but I can only make it through about a minute.

He is not wrong.

I have decided that Brian Kelly should be the coach at Texas A&M. They all deserve each other. Coach Cornball.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Tennessee is taking in a much larger % of bets and money from the public on this one. Pro bettors are the ones on LSU moving this.

That smart money is betting on LSU makes me nervous. They must think their defense can slow us way down like Pitt did, and that our defense is....well...our defense...

I don't know. Seems like BK knows the game pretty well and conveys critical points well, as well.
