Well in fairness, LSU hasn't beaten Bama in a while and has finished 9-3 or 10-2 quite often in Les' tenure here. I am happy with another 10-2 season as long as we beat Alabama or Auburn. 9-3 -11-1 should be the bench mark to start any season as long as Les keeps recruiting like he does and Chief is on staff. IMO, 2015 will be the year for higher expectations, but then again, nobody saw 2011 coming either.

Chavis is a huge part of Les' success but the biggest difference maker going forward is CCC. We have been dreaming of what the Tigers would accomplish with a top 25 offense to go along with dominant offense and CCC is going to make that happen. His hiring was a dream come true for us.

It's hard to swallow that NC game against the gums but even though the Tigers would have had the best season of any BCS era Nat Champ if Bama would not have been given the rematch, we still have to acept that the perception of the program will stay right where it is until we beat Bama and make it to Athens.
