most of the "positigers" would say on here...Why did Vegas have us losing to FL, Bama, Arky, Aub...I wonder what their real line would have been had NC had their whole team...

I mean, 10 wins is good, sure...but as far as respect, Vegas makes a living doing this stuff yet against all the big schools we were the under...you had one side worried about being mediocre and the other side loving Miles...

you sure were getting the respect that some on here think we have?

What a douche, so we base the season results on what the Vegas odds were during the season.

Vegas sets the lines so they make the most money and the money is as much on both sides as possible

Well, we beat two of those four (by one possession), and lost to two (by one possession). So I don't know what your point is. In the SEC, you don't really need abstract "respect". If you keep winning, it will come.

Because you mistake the 'spread' for a 'prediction'

You're a complete idiot. So we beat teams we were underdogs to and you think that's bad? What a nut sack. I wish I couldn know nothing about football like you and walk around ignorant. It's amazing how freaking dumb some of you are.

What a dumb flame thread.

What did you expect to witness with that popcorn emoticon? You wanted a front row seat for people calling you a douche?

wow, some of you need to check your reading comprehension skills, track the media's perception on us among other things...

mistaken spread for prediction.....

I understand that you have to get money even, hence the spread...but since more were betting on the other team, wouldnt that go with what I was saying?...more people betting on our opponent...?

notice how the idiots who missed the point started the name calling....retards...

Vegas sets its line based on where it thinks the money will be. It adjusts its line based on where the money actually is. It isn't a comment on anything else but what it takes to balance the house's book in advance of a game. Using the pre-game spread as a measure of which team is better AFTER THE GAME HAS BEEN PLAYED is the essence of stupidity.

I guess you glanced over this post.

LSU was 8-0 as the favorite and 2-2 as the underdog. Some would call that successful. But you go ahead and keep pining for this "respect" you care so much about from the media. I'm sure all of our opponents respected us (if not some of their fanbases).

What's the point of this dumb thread again?

Shouldn't the headline here be that LSU overachived? I.e., that it's coaching staff and players won against the odds?

i guess miles coached a team that was suppose to lose four games to a 10-2 season. outstanding coaching to over achieve the expectations from the experts?
