Book It: WVU Has No Chance Against LSU

PrintWhy this game is even on the schedule, I have no idea. Just go ahead and mark it in the books: LSU big. And I do mean big.
Why? Well, that's easy: speed. LSU and the SEC have a ton of it, and teams from the Big East have none of it. It's not for you or me to decide, it's just how the world of college football works.
Think about it: how is West Virginia's Noel Devine going to run the ball against LSU's defense? I'll quickly answer that question: he's not. Sure, he might be fast for the cute little Big East -- but against a man's defense like the Tigers bring to the stadium? Not so fast, my friend. He may have been able to run the ball against slow poke teams like Oklahoma, [redacted SEC team], and [redacted SEC team], but he can't do that against the Bayou Bengals. No sir. He'll get eaten alive on the edge by LSU linebackers and safeties.
Same for those other "quick" midgets: Jock Sanders and Tavon Austin. I'm even a little scared for those guys, as the big bad Tiger wrecking crew defense might hurt them both by halftime. Then again, the game might be over before we get that far. Considering everyone on LSU's defense runs a sub 4.4 forty, those little boys are going to be running for their dear lives. Why Bill Stewart would subject to them to such punishment, I'll never know.
And this Geno Smith I have been hearing so much about? Pffft. I hear LSU just offered him a scholarship out of pity. That sophomore will be so intimidated by Death Valley that he may just pee himself upon walking out of the tunnel. If he even gets that far. In fact, I have it on good accord that LSU is 123-0 against QBs that were offered by the Tigers but went to other schools. Surely, that goes to 124-0 on Saturday night. Hell, LSU might beat them so bad that it could count as two wins. Maybe three, who knows.
It's just yet another example of the SEC flexing its muscles against a slow, sloppy team from the Big East -- and West Virginia, no less. In no way, shape or form can some team nicknamed the Mountaineers prevail over a team with the illustrious history and pedigree as the LSU Tigers. It just can't happen. Come Saturday, I expect a rude education in SEC speed for the lowly mountain men of the Big East. In fact, get ready to be so humiliated this weekend, even your sister won't sleep with you. Burn.
Just think, if the SEC can beat those chumps from the Big 11 every year (and every other conference), then a lowly Big East team is surely no match. My pappy taught me that the Bible says somehwere that God created the SEC on the 8th day. It's probably in the book of, "Cannon." You know, as in Billy Cannon, Heisman Trophy winner for the great LSU Tigers. Does West Virginia have one of those? Didn't think so.
As the Tigers run past them on each and every play, they'll wonder why they didn't heed my advice and just give up ahead of time. In fact, the Tigers are undefeated in night games at Death Valley against teams that suck, and we all know non-SEC teams suck. So remember, when the Mountaineers walk into Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, they need remember one fact, and one fact only: you can't spell speed without SEC. Or something like that.
Geaux Tigers!

Let's not count those chickens before they hatch
LSU has talent; but no offensive philosophy. Point for WVU .If WVU runs the same spread “attack” they ran against Marshall; game over. Because in this one case, spread and option or any combination thereof can be useless against SEC talent players with discipline. Point for LSU. LSU’s overall deeper bench leads to big plays on special teams. Point LSU. So, my prediction, LSU 22, WVU 13 .
"all the way"
Be wary of the Tigers, but you don't need to be afraid of them
The LSU fanbase seems to have an internal dialog of their own going on that is very similar to our own.

As an LSU fan,
the only thing I agree with is Geaux Tigers! I think WVU will put up between 21 to 28 points because of your experience and good skill players and for us to win, we will need to open it up on offense more which we did once so far against Carolina in the first half and I hope Jefferson continues to play better this week. Peterson has been very good on returns and could play a factor. I say LSU 28, WVU 24, but I would not be surprised if WVU wins and will be the first to congratulate y’all on next weeks Hump Day if this happens.
Hey guys,
LSU fan here. Just wanted to come say hey.
All I’ve seen of your team this year is the 4th quarter of the Marshall game. Can you give me some players to watch? I know Noel Devine, he’s been around forever and you may remember LSU was in on his recruitment until the very end. Who else should I pay attention to and who are your key players?
"I know the quarterback has a strong arm, but...I mean the ball's not gonna outrun ME" --PP7
other than Noel, in no particular order:
Offensive Skill: Tavon Austin WR, Geno Smith QB, Stedman Bailey WR
Defense: Robert Sands (has been a bit banged up though) S, JT Thomas LB, Chris Neild DL, Bruce Irvin DE
to name a few…
Trying to get a rise... haha
Thanks mjtig, I think it will be a tough fought game as well. as for LSU Jonno…dido to players to watch…Can’t wait for game time…It is going to be exciting.
Offense:
Russell Shepard – WR/RB, very explosive, Sophomore
Reuban Randle – WR, 5 star recruit, Sophomore
Defense:
Drake Nevis – DT, our best D-lineman, has been SEC D-lineman of the week the last two weeks, Senior
Kelvin Sheppard – MLB, our best LB, Senior
Patrick Peterson – CB/KR/PR, the dude does it all, and well. Best CB in the country, Junior.
"I know the quarterback has a strong arm, but...I mean the ball's not gonna outrun ME" --PP7
WVU is 22-17-2 against SEC teams....
First of all, it is one thing to attack the WVU football team with your comments. Most of which were for your self entertainment at best, but the incest comment demonstrates how uneducated you are about the state of WV. So do us all a favor and crawl back under that rock left by Katrina and end your exisitence with the human race…. Burn!

and that you come back to visit. Have a great day and Let’s Go Mountaineers.

Ummmm
Reading the post demonstrates how uneducated you are at basic detective work. The person who wrote this was a, drumroll please, WVU man! Guess where he got his degree from? WVU!! He was poking fun, its called a joke. Now whats really uncalled for is the Katrina comment. Many people lost their lives and livelihoods thanks to that storm. Havent seen any recent incest storms that have ravaged your countryside. Again, it was a joke. Im from La and i get the saaaame jokes all the time. Guess what i do? Do i punch the person in the face? Do i scream and whine and make angry posts? No, i laugh. So please, before you go around trying to act tough, just think about what you are saying. For your own sake. This place is for fun, not to pick fights.
Hilarious! Sounds like you need a tissue….

WOW agreed...
if you click on the name Shane Harper, you’ll see that he joined this site today and his only comment was today. that may give him a semi-free pass for not knowing that Dr. Charley West is our supreme leader. i certainly don’t agree that he’s telling people to die though. that’s a little (lot) much! welcome to the site, shane! let’s try to keep the conversations civil and intelligent.
Am i the only one?
every time i see “Geaux Tigers”, i think of a bunch of French pussies.
Dr. Charley West Are you serious!!!!!??!?!?!?!?!
As touching as your little story may be to you and your tigers fan base…. You are talking all of this trash about WVU not having a chance to win……“Are you kidding me” You spoke briefly about the Oklahoma win… It wasn’t a win it was a Trashing! Over Sam Bradford!!! You forgot to mention another recient win for WVU over a so called SEC powerhouse…. How about the Trashing we put on Georgia in the DOME!!!!! They were loaded with what the experts called “pure speed”, and in the end we not only embarassed them, WE RAN PAST THEM!!!!!…. I like how you think, you already think it’s in the bag. Continue to do so! This WVU team is more talented and “FASTER” than the later that emarassed the SEC teams!!!!

On behalf of Tiger Nation..
I apologize for Dr. Charley West’s ignorant bravado. Please don’t form an opinion of us from the obnoxious behavior of one poster……

This is like War of the Worlds for Mountaineer fans (no, I don’t remember that broadcast)… My personal favorite is, “In fact, get ready to be so humiliated this weekend, even your sister won’t sleep with you. Burn.”

I wonder how many LSU fans blindly hit “like” without really reading it?
by Dr. Charley West on Sep 22, 2010 1:42 PM EDT reply actions
probably...
about as many as WVU fans that would hit “dislike” after really reading it! da da chee!!! i don’t know how to write 2 drum beats and a cymbal clash for my punch line.
thanks boss...
i obviously couldn’t have said it better myself
You’re an LSU fan so you have no idea what you’re talking about, because only Mountaineer fans know anything about football!!! I am a fan of WVU, so no one has any right to say anything critical about WVU ever!!!! You know that I’m right because I’m using exclamation points!!!
Hey now...
don’t steal my shtick. You jerkface!!!!
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

This is pretty good..
I started rolling though when Shane Harper and Smokeeater decided to speak up.
I hope they got the extended warranty on their satire detector’s.

WV Fans going to the game
Just a note to the WV fans making the game here in Baton Rouge. First, we tailgate here….beginning about 6 – 12 hours before game time and fewer after the game. If the WV fans would like to join us in tailgating they are welcome (tell them to bring some fresh home brew and come early). Second, they can leave the sweaters at home. The game temp will be in the 80’s and in a stadium of 90K+ the temp will be considerably warmer than ambient. Third, bring your walking shoes. You will want to see Mike the Tiger in his habitat, the union, geology building, etc. and several tailgate parties. You will be welcomed at almost all. Forth, invest in hearing protection. Death Valley is as loud as advertised. The continuous noise level far surpasses OSHA limits of 90 dbA, often exceeding 110 or higher (the same as standing behind a jet taking off). Fifth, smoking is permitted only outside the stadium and if you leave the stadium, you will need an unused ticket to return. Sixth, we drink a hell of a lot before the game because SEC says we can’t drink during the game. We hold our liquor well and appreciate those who do the same. Finally, we wish all that come to enjoy their stay regardless the game’s outcome.
GEAUX TIGERS!

LSU (3-0) 7-29 offense11.4 score over/under ave defense+16.3
(19-5) Total Ave 24.2-22.9
Interesting facts
With the pretense of team equality, taking the scores each team (LSU & WV) then subtracting the average of the opponents scores, the sum provides an indication of how well each has played against the other opponents. As an example, take WV vs Maryland:
Maryland vs Navy = 17-14
Maryland vs Morgan St. = 62-3
Maryland vs W. Virginia = 17-31
Average = 32-16
32-17 =15
16-31 = -15
Accomplishing the sum of these numbers from all games results in the following indication.
LSU => +17.1, -38.6
WV => -7.9, -36.4
To me, the defenses appear close to each other. You can draw any conclusions you like.
Hahahaha
Great post. I think a lot of LSU fans would love to see WVU in the SEC. Ya’ll fit in pretty well with us, at least. And yeah, we’re guilty of a little bit of SEC pride. But I think the conference has earned it.
In fact, get ready to be so humiliated this weekend, even your sister won't sleep with you. Burn.
That’s sounds about right.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
In fact, the Tigers are undefeated in night games at Death Valley against teams that suck
This is also true.
And funny, LOL!
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Sorry, Doctor
I’m not buying in to your pity party (honestly, was anyone really believing that?). I love that this game is late, and the fan bases are going to have plenty of time to get juiced.
