Who are you pulling for in National Championship game? LSU? Clemson?

[PawDawg]

In no way am I a LSU fan, but I’ll be pulling for them. I figure the better LSU is the more likely they are to get the best in state talent. If they’re getting it then it’s not going out of state. It’s sort of like trickle down talent. Tech has a better shot at higher caliber athletes if LSU gets the best and we compete for next best. If the best leave the state then the second best go to LSU and Tech is reduced to complete for 3rd best. In my mind that’s how it works.

For Tech’s sake, go Tigers.

I've said this before. Some refuse to admit that we will never get a any player lsu wants. They will always get the best in the state, but if they are focused on 4 star talent out of state, it leaves more 3 stars for us to go after who actually want to play before year 3.

Then they weren’t true fans.

You are such a snob.

These people are still fans. They just refuse to cower down to an SLC AD who is KILLING our game day atmosphere.

I believe this was Coach Mickey Slaughter's philosophy too, when he used to hang out here on BB&B. I think Coach Mick believes that Tech recruiting benefits from LSU winning national championships, etc....for most of the reasons you stated. If Coach Mick is still lurking out there, maybe he will chime in.

Agreed. This is much of the reason LA Tech just signed more Louisiana Top 100 recruits (12, according to 247 Sports) during the early signing period than any other school. LSU only signed 7 of Louisiana's Top 100 (so far, but a few others may commit), mostly because LSU signs a lot of Texas and other out of state kids too.

I've been telling yall ... HE'S. A. SHILL. His standing orders from BR are to make sure lil' ol' Tech stays in its proper place.

Gamedays were getting too fun, so he had to take it down a notch. (or ten.)

LSU national championship win
Pros:
LSU recruiting peaks leaving higher end players for Tech to compete for
LSU becomes a more attractive draw to camps in Louisiana so Tech gets a better selection to choose from
I think there is some extra attention on the success of Louisiana Colleges. It's been pointed out a few times how Tech, ULL, Tulane, and LSU all had good years.
Cons:
Bandwagon fans have more reason to abandon their Alma mater and cheer for the tiggers.
Have to listen to tigger fans crow about how great they are and everyone should support the "state school"

I'm fairly indifferent, but I think LSU will win it all this year. I wouldn't say I'm rooting for them, but I will watch with interest.

The pros listed above are speculation.

The cons are certainties.

Fair point.

If you look at the actions, they add up to agree with you. I think so.

I agree with this. And for that reason, I WANT LSU to win this. BUT, out of the last five National Championship games, Clemson has been to four of them. That experience gives a program an edge. I also think Tarzan has a big chip on his shoulder to show he's a big deal QB too.

[Cal&Ken]

sorry, I find this line of reasoning to be speculative and unpersuasive .

Agreed! That's a pile of crap!

Incompetence or malice?

Because it's one of the two.

[Geaux Dawgs]

I'm just glad I no longer see BAMMER crap everywhere...........they ate humble pie this year and those jackasses have taken off their gear / license plates

[Champ967]

Agreed! That's a pile of crap!

well yeah, but I said it more nicer.

Logical post. If LSU loses or wins the NC, no single soul in this state will think more highly or less of the dawgs. Our fate is set. We are not the school the average person in this state stands behind. We will be much better off when we understand that and stop the “go Clemson beat the tiggers” posts. We look like ULL fans at that point.

BS! Look again at the title of this thread. To heck with the corn dog fans and their team.
