Scheduling = Relevance? Not necessarily!

Poor Dawg fans...
Just because LSU happens to trip up in their scheduling, and accidentally play a decent OOC team on the road on occasion (It happens what, every other year, at most?), doesn't make the Montlake MudPuppies significant, relevant, or mean that the FlushPuppies have a snowball's chance of becoming that in the foreseeable future...
Surely, the Tigers wouldn't deliberately waste the time, money, and sleep deprivation necessary to travel this far to take a chance on getting embarrassed, especially on national TV, do you ?
Heck, once they figured out the Beavs were only a field goal (Or 3 PATs) away from beating them in their own house, LSU has never shown an interest in travelling to CornValley, where 13 fans and a distracted sheep in the stands constitutes too much of a 'homefield advantage' for the risk to be worth it.

I doubt the Dawgs keep that game within 3 touchdowns. It will be quite the shock to Jake of Nazareth's system when he finds himself facing LSU's first-string defense, after practicing against the likes of Tripper Johnson and the other assorted stiffs the Huskies have running around in their secondary.

18/20 against the UW 2's and 3's... And we have seen how good the UW 1's were last year.
I will believe Jeezus of the Lakeside has become a QB when it is shown against real competition.

Correction - 16-18 and two dropped passes.

Really, though, who wouldn't want to see LSU get beat by Washington. I hope UW gets two wins this season. LSU and ND. The SEC's godlike preseason status really bothers me.

Wasn't Auburn top ten last season? And Tennessee top 25?

How ridiculous did that look three weeks in to the season, much less at the end of the season?

If the Messiah of Montlake completes 16/18 against LSU, it would make for entertaining TV... I just don't seriously believe it's possible.

As much as I would like to say huck the fuskies, how great would it be if the Pac-10's worst team beat one of the SEC's better teams?

It would be awesome! As long as it's the only game of the year they win.

Yeah 18/20 against UW's D, that's like having Masoli throw against all freshman walk on's for us. Wouldn't even be fair. Although Jake is a talented individual.

That'd be awesome as much as it pains me to admit it. It'd shut up all those SEC clowns.

The media will have three weeks to talk about how much improved UW has become and how great they actually are. Then they will get creamed in the Pac 10 and you won't hear much more about that loss for LSU except for excuses as they roll an easy SEC and climb up the polls.
