Got finished with work following the Maryland game and made it home in time to watch LSU open its home schedule against Mississippi State. Reclined on the sofa as the pregame discussions unfolded, my wife and I eventually looked at one another and I said, “Uh, it sounds like they’re talking about your team, doesn’t it?”

There are differences in the matchup — conference affiliation, for example, couldn’t be more different; WVU’s offense is more effective — but there are some similarities, namely sincere concern projected from the outside.

Stop me if you’ve heard this, but the Tigers can’t seem to do enough to make their supporters sing a happy song, or take the heat off the head coach … or his offensive coordinator, which sound a lot like the sitaution in Morgantown. Never mind this is a matchup of ranked 3-0 teams.
