we ain't winning in Baton Rouge. To me, a victory against LSU is our team leaving without any major injuries. As competitive as I am, I think it's prudent to put our scout team out there against LSU and let our regular players prepare for the next game. I mean, if Major Sosebee gets knocked out for the year by Jean- Lafitte Boudreaux- Thomas, that's more reps for one of our RS Fr. WR's in practice, so big deal. It's not like we're going for the NC anyway, right? If we lose to LSU, does anyone think that the Papajohn's Bowl commitee is going to care on the off chance that we have a good season?

It's going to be moot anyway because we ain't going there at 4-0. Maybe you posted this before it was announced that Pegues is suspended for La Tech. SELU? Remember the Maine? Auburn is no pushover and they're probably pissed because we beat them last year. In case you missed the memo, Tuberville hates our ass. Georgia Tech has an unusual offense, and anytime we play someone with an unusual offense like that, we look like the Special Olympics All-Star team on defense. We won't even figure their offense out until halfway between the third quarter IF Croom is on his game.

I think 1-3 is a very real possibility- with the one being a less than impressive win over SLU. Besides IF we did go into Baton Rouge at 4-0, that might not be all that good for us because:

1. That means it would more likely be a night game.

2. That means that they might actually take us seriously and bring their A game.

As far as judging progress based on the LSU game, well that's not exactly a great barometer for MSU football the 20 years.
