We should contend for the NC every year. We didn't have a serious run at a title between 1960 and 2002



This is a point I've been trying to make. We weren't very good for four decades in the past so we shouldn't expect to be good now. We're no Michigan or Nebraska.

Neither is the posi-tigers' contentment with mediocrity.

LSU has 3 championships since the 1950s.

Michigan has 1/2 in that same time.

Try again.

Well with that mentality we never will be.

We weren't lucky enough back then to have hired a Woody Hayes or a Bear Bryant type coach. The material to be that kind of a program has always been there. There is nothing those schools have that we don't and in fact under current conditions we are set up better than they are.

You can have high expectations without being totally unreasonable, but attacking the expectations part of the equation is pretty dumb. We should not be happy with 8-4.

When exactly were we bad in the last 60 years?

late 70s
Archer/Hallman era
End of DiNardo era

When else?

Serious question: do you realize what kind of program LSU is?
