nt: Have you ever played football? I've played enough to know that you can throw those stats out the window. If the Horns don't show up and take LSU seriously, we will get beat!
ok i will repeat it one more time for you. the CURRENT contract w/ the cotton bowl sucks ass b/c the SEC sends us crappy teams. in fact i'll repeat it a third time the CURRENT contract. i'm not bitching about what occurred 10, 20, or 30 years ago. i'm bitching about the CURRENT contract (that was four times). understand?
hmmm, i dont see where you mentioned " do you guys realize that the SEC's record in the cotton bowl is 1-4 SINCE 1999?" ....i also dont see there where you said "i dont care what the record was 20-30 years ago".... but hey thats fair...if you dont care what happened 20-30 years ago...then i dont care what happened 1-4 years ago
my mistake then was to assume, i wouldn't need to explain every little detail. i had thought that by saying the current contract sucks (that's six) that you tigers would understand.
stats mean nothing? i beg to differ. let me ask you this, a 1-10 team plays a 11-0 team. who is more likely to win? will the 11-0 team always win? no. but all over things being equal, i'll put my money on the team w/ better stats any day.
nt: Get real! Obviosly a 11-0 team would be heavily favored over a 1-10 team. Even an arrorgant Horn like you can figure that out, but LSU is 8-4 in a very tough conference and would have done better had they not had so many injuries this year. Teams often reflect the mood of their fans, and the Tiger fans seem very confident and upbeat about this game. Texas fans, so far seem lethargic. Let us hope our team does not mirror them or we will get beat. If we show up, I do think we'll win, but it won't be as easy as you think.
Alright nt, you say "i'll put my money on the team w/ better stats any day" then the final score should be: LSU 16 UT 16.9 I want to see you get that ".9" though.........and no rounding!!
you're the one who said stats mean nothing. i'm saying that stats can allow you to predict the outcome w/ some certainty. are you saying i'm wrong? or would to like to restate your position?
here is the bowl history of both LSU and Texas Texas http://www.mcubed.net/ncaaf/bowls/tx.htm LSU http://www.mcubed.net/ncaaf/bowls/lsu.htm
