Today's Advocate article reads like eulogy for LSU Football

After the past decade — even with two BCS titles, three SEC crowns and a gaudy .816 winning percentage — it’s reasonable to wonder whether a down cycle is at hand for LSU. It’s almost inevitable now. Tick off the names of similar peers in the sport’s 1 percent that have endured their own strife: Nebraska, Florida State, Miami, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan and now Texas. None has gone extinct, but they’ve seen briefly how the other half lives. The normal college football life cycle may be unfolding as usual — just with Alabama and LSU at different points in the process. That realization can do little to ebb angst among a segment of Tigers fans worried about what lies ahead.
Who the frick is Matthew Harris?

How is he not right? Our defense is Swiss cheese and the offense isn't good enough to make up for it. The Ole Miss loss started this. Alabama and Texas A&M will finish it.
8-4 around here will be considered a massive failure and the negativity will take over.
It isn't so much that the team will be 8-4 and have had a down season. It is the NEGATIVITY against Miles that will sink this ship. It will grow and grow.
People leaving games early . . .
Constant criticism . . .
Every half-way decent player we have going pro early even if they are a 6th round pick or UDFA . . .
College football programs cannot sustain this over the long haul. LSU is not meeting its valley.
Honestly, all of the guys leaving early on Defense is the real culprit. Over half of them weren't ready to go, but they left anyway. They all saw themselves as stars and that came from the 2011 season. But, they weren't. 2011 continues to wreak vengence on the LSU program.

With a brand new offense next year, he may be correct actually. Difference is, with the incoming class the next couple years, I see us in a 2 year down cycle not a 5-8 year cycle. And by down I mean 3-4 loss seasons not disastrous.

This article pretty much sums up the attitude of the negatiger rantards since the Ole Miss game.

These articles are going to be great recruiting tools for Bama.
LSU is one of the baddest programs around, advocate needs to chill the fcuk out.

To "Tiger Brigade" - Thanks for serving our great country.
While I disagree with some of the article, Mr. Harris makes some good, valid, and accurate points, (and you actually have to have an education to understand some of the language). He spoke his mind, and the last time I checked that was still allowed in the U.S.
Specifically, I strongly disagree with LSU heading down the road to mediocrity. And I don't think LSU will have a mass exodus to the NFL like we had last year. QB is a concern for next year.
We need a big win this weekend, then everything will be good!!!

Maybe the biggest culprit is going to be the steadily increasing intensity of the recruiting competition that little corner of the world. When Saban first rolled into BR, there was little recruiting pressure from aTm, Bama, FAU, OM, Miami, AU, etc. That has changed and will continue to intensify. Frankly, the long term prognosis does not look good.
