General Cockiness

I'm travelling for work again, so I'm not going to be online for the first game of the series. Richard has the wheel. I don't mean to step on his most recent post or his talk with the guys over at Burnt Orange Nation. Check both of those out.
Before I disappear into workng hell, let me offer my last thoughts on the game.
Call me cocky or whatever, but this is the best LSU team I have seen since 1997, which i firmly believe is the greatest college team ever assembled. And honestly, i think this team is more talented. If they do not win the title, it will be a tragedy. Texas is a really good team and they would make a worthy champ. But we are better this year. We're a lot better.
That's not a knock on Texas, that's a statement on how good this LSU team is. If they lose this series, it will because either Texas played the greatest two games of their season or we played poorly. I have never been more confident in an LSU team in any sport than I am in this baseball team. I hate the anything but a title is a failure attitude displayed by any fanbase, but I have to be honest, anything less than a title will be a massive disappointment for this team, this season. This is the best team in the country and better yet, they know it.
Can we lose? Sure. Just ask UNC about being the heavy favorite in a championship series. Texas most certainly can win this series. But I don't believe a team this good or this focused will manage to lose two games to anybody. I've never been more confident in an LSU team, and that sort of scares me.

As it turns out...
The horrible performance displayed by my white 2008 Nike coaches polo on the football field was really a problem with user management.
Once it was free to concentrate on baseball it couldn’t lose. It’s the Jared Mitchell of LSU shirts. I’m confident in my gameday attire, therefore I am confident in the game.
Play Ball!!
I feel the same way
And I am usually convince myself the Tigers are going to lose. I was sure we couldn’t beat Georgia Tech last December. I knew Tennessee would beat us in the 07 championship game. And there was no way we could match up against those Stanford arms in the 2000 CWS championship game.
But this time around, I feel fairly invincible. It’s a strange mix of cockiness and bloodlust.

The best?
Your road to anything runs through Athens, Ga my friend. We own a 3 game streak on your tiggers if you have lost count. Had it not been for the dayum BCS voters Georgia would have been playing OSU in the BCS game in 2007. The Dawgs pasted half a hunnerd on your kitty cats in your own backyard in 2008. Expect the same in Athens Georgia this fall.

This is the second UGA fan who's come here talking about football instead of baseball today
Are they that upset that we kicked them out of the SEC tourney? I mean, congrats on beating our freshman quarterback with your preseason national contenders and all that jazz and sorry about the BCS picking the conference champion to play for the national title rather than the not-conference champion, but we’re talking baseball today. We’ll deal with football at the end of the week. Jeesh.
I'm proud of my damn strong football team. Have a great day!
