This is a blog about West Texas

Just wanted to answer the questions Kyle left in the comments section from the post below.

1. I'm at 189 as of this morning. which means in the last month, my half-assed weight-loss effort (with that effort being closer to 1/8-assed lately) has led to a loss of 3/10 of a pound. pretty impressive, if you ask me.

2. I have no idea what i think about the line. i haven't seen enough of LSU to where i can make any sort of predictions based on logic instead of emotion. Last week, I wasn't sure LSU would cover the spread but also told Michael that i wouldn't be surprised if they won by 40.

I'll say this: LSU is good. Before the season, I expected that this would probably be a loss for LSU. After watching LSU play twice, I'm much more confident, but don't know how much to read into it because of the level of their competition.

but if you held a gun to my head, I'd pick LSU to win by 4 to 7 points.
