I think that LSSU must take at least one game from UM this weekend, or
preferably both (from an LSSU point of view, not mine), and then only
lose at most 8 more times for the rest of the year, or they won't get
in.  Regardless, I think this weekend's series will show one way or
the other how good LSSU will be for the rest of the year.
 
By the way, I don't consider them the "lucky" 16, but the "deserving"
16, although CC fans may tend to disagree somewhat.
