    Time to go recruit the 8th grader who kicked a 63 yarder. ;)

    That garbage TD at the end there cost me the -11 cf.net bet. Still won big on the LSU -3 in Vegas.

    Or the high school kid who nailed a 67 yarder by a good 5 or 6 yards.

    It still doesn't change the fact that you were spouting on and on about how A&M had no chance. Care to re-assess that?

    My disdain for Les Miles grows more and more every time I watch LSU play. He's so obnoxious.

    Whoever touched the ball last got absolutely flattened.

    LSU adjusted and A&M did not adjust back. LSU played with 3 linemen and A&M never ran the ball on first down. A&M has the talent to run it against that set. Plus, Johnny football was terrible the second half. Quit running around in the backfield when you still have a pocket.

    No. I predicted a score of 24-6 in LSU's favor. It was 24-12 before that last garbage TD so I was only off by 6 points. The LSU -3 line was a gimme in Vegas. I predicted the Aggies would not win the game and they did not win the game nor did they cover the spread.

    Care to re-assess?

    A&M donated that game to LSU. It should have been 12-0 at half. For the most part it was not even LSU taking the ball away. It was A&M giving it up.
    No way was this a gimme game.

    And A&M missed a chip shot field goal that would have covered the spread. Go ahead and keep making dumb bets, it's not my money.

    LOL at all these A&M fans saying the refs cost them the game. LSU had around 15 penalties! Many of them were ones that were on 3rd and long, negated 1st downs for LSU that lead to punts, or extended drives for A&M.

    Justify it all you want Texas A&M....y'all lost, and y'alls offense was a failure in the 2nd half.

    Are you serious?!? A&M dominated that first half, should have had a 13 point lead at halftime. You were saying that whoever thought the Aggies had a CHANCE in this game was a moron! You were saying the Tigers would win by 20+ points! Anybody who watched that game would say that LSU ESCAPED with a victory because of stupid turnovers and a garbage kicker. Is LSU the better team? Absolutely. Did A&M get dominated?? No way. You might have won a bet in Vegas, but everybody knows (including yourself) that you were wrong in your assessment of this game.

    Who are "ALL THESE FANS"? Nobody is justifying anything. Idiotic turnovers and a terrible kicker cost us this game. There were some questionable no-calls (mainly on pass interferences), but I don't think anybody here is saying that's the reason why the Aggies lost today.

    I invite you to go look back at the previous pages on this thread. 49 and 50 should do the trick.

    If you conclude that A&M dominated the 1st half then how can you not conclude that LSU dominated the 2nd half?

    Turnovers are part of the game. LSU managed to do what A&M struggled to do in the 1st and throughout the game....turn their chances into TDs. I saw a LSU team that managed to create turnovers to get the lead in the 1st then basically shut A&M down in the 2nd while their offense played like garbage (coaching included).

    Such a winnable game for the Aggies; they just gave it away.The LSU defense is first rate, but the Aggie QB seemed to get rattled. After the great run back, the Aggies were set up about the ten yard line, sputtered, and then to add insult to injury, missed a field goal. Too me, these kind of games are worse than "blow outs." Miles offensive play calling just seems dense, or does he call the plays? And why can't LSU recruit a decent QB?

    Not really. A&M always does this. Look at the FLA game. They played well in the first half, took a lead and then before you could blink in the 2nd half it was 24-12 and the ballgame was over. A 24-12 game before a meaningless garbage TD at the end when the defense relaxed was not "stolen" and when LSU was up 24-12 they did not "escape" lol come on man. I said the Aggies did not have a chance to win this game AND THEY DID NOT WIN THIS GAME. Even though they started out hot like they always do, I was never worried on my Vegas -3 bet. Didn't care much about the -11 cf.net bet. I was generous to give the man those odds and without the garbage TD there at the end, the -11 holds as well.
