Some of you "fans" are clueless. LSU went 45 seasons between playing for a championship...1958 to 2003. Our history is of a program that usually won 7/10 or 8/11 or 9/12 games each season. The great seasons since 2000 are exceptional because they are the exceptions to what usually happens to LSU Football.

Can't you Nervous Nellies wait until we have lost 3 games and cannot dig ourselves out of that ditch? Right now we have lost only 1 game and that to a top 5 (currently) team on the road.

I agree we have problems on O. Maybe all we can do now is bring the energy Saturday night and help this team get to 5-1.

LSU is a mid level program with Elite potential, and no matter who the coach is we underachieve most of the time. It is what it is. Must be a culcha thing

LSU is 101-42 overall and 59-33 in the SEC (including SECCGs). That’s an average of 9-4 (5-3). That is mediocre and exactly what we make fun of Texas A&M for.


Not sure about you, but I make fun of A&M for a lot of things. But being "mediocre" at 8-4 (which is the actual joke) is not one of them; it is being above average (which they are when they are 8-4) but acting like they are championship caliber. We, on the other hand, have fans that act like spoiled dipshits who can't grasp basic math ("mediocre" out of 130+ teams -- which is what we have -- is in the 60th-70th range, which is not 9-4). Plus, we also won a championship, our third in less than 25 years; A&M hasn't won one since history was written down (yes, I know I'm exaggerating).

101-42 is distinctly above "mediocre". It might qualify as "mediocre among national powerhouse teams" or "mediocre among historical contenders" or "mediocre among the elite of college football", but that all first comes with the concession that we are indeed a "national powerhouse", "historical contenders", or "among the elite of college football".

So take your pick; stick with the notion that we are "mediocre" and admit that is only because you are comparing us to our peers as we are among the elite of college football, and complain about being that. Or, acknowledge that we are in fact well above mediocre among our actual competitors, the 130+ FBS football teams in the country.

Or just keep making up bullshite to bitch about. Whatever floats your boat. I'm gonna be happy about being an LSU fan because it means we win a hell of a lot more than we lose the last 2 1/2 decades, and I understand what a blessing that is for ANY college football fan.

2015 lsu was undefeated going to Tuscaloosa and ranked 2nd in the country. Fournette was the heisman frontrunner. If lsu just had average play in the passing game that team would have been a playoff team

Yep.

During the Saban-Bama dynasty, LSU could only afford to lose one SEC team and beat Alabama to get to Atlanta. That’s an impossible ask.

So how was his coaching in the other 13 games of that undefeated regular season & SEC championship game?
