re: If LSU finished the season ranked 5th in the polls, would you be satisfied?

Of course. Any fan who is not satisfied with a top 5 finish is a shitty, shitty fan. There's nothing wrong at all with demanding excellence, in fact it's a good thing. But guys a top 5 finish is excellence. We all want to win the SEC and the Natty every year but any season that's a top 10 finish type season or a BCS Bowl season can't be defined as anything but a successful year.

With the players we've lost this yr, I'd be satisfied with a sugar bowl win. We're already without 2 starters on each side of the ball.

Let's be a little rational here, and maybe look at other schools, even SEC schools, that weren't satisfied with what they had.
Tennessee and Auburn, for starters. The Vols went a decade being a top 5 team, and won a title. People got obsessed about how LSU, Auburn, Florida and Georgia got, basically, to their level, or maybe a bit higher (but not much). So they wailed about Fulmer destroying the program and ran him off. And now they haven't seen a ranking in a couple of years.
Auburn- Tuberville had them neck and neck with us. We'd win the odd years, they'd win the even. We won a BCS with Saban, and they didn't, even though they had an undefeated team and Nick didn't. The Powers That Be over there couldn't wait to axe him, even sneaking a date with Petrino and then calling it off. Les came here and won another title and they went nuts. And don't give me any crap about Saban going to Bama, Tuberville beat Nick here plenty, and owned Bama for a decade. Public support and they'd still be a major team every year. They finally got him to leave, and sure they finally won- with Cam, and he ain't coming back. And now Auburn has slid behind Miss St.
There are good teams out there. We won't be #1 often, but we do seem to be somewhere around the top 5 every season. Keep that up and we'll get another. Run this guy out of town for not winning it all, and we might end up like Rocky Top or War Eagle. Trust me, I remember when just getting ranked was something to be hoped for; nobody wants to go back to that again
