Folks, we were terrible at football for a long time there. When our football players from the past decade become eligible, the numbers will start going up

Uh, no.
The 1990's were the only decade in LSU history where we were sub-500. And even then we were close to .500 at 54-58.
Now, the 90's did include the worst stretch in LSU history from 1989-1994. Is this what you are calling a "long time?" Six years ???

Even so, we did win 26 games and 3 bowl games from 1995-1997. Did those like...never happen ?? 1998 and 99 were only 2 losing years.

Prior to 1989, LSU had only had 3 losing seasons in the previous 32 years.

Also, prior to Satan's happy arse landing in Baton Rouge, LSU was #12 all-time NATIONALLY in number of NCAA victories, and #10 in bowl appearances.

Today, we are #10 and #8 respectively. Not a huge jump by any means.
