re: And with that, the LSU regular season is over

It was a roller coaster ride, but we knew it would be like that going in to the year.

I attended the Wisconsin game in Houston, and I saw the Ole Miss and Alabama games at the big LSU bar in Manhattan. I will never forget any of those nights. The former two were great and I wouldn't have done them any other way (despite our tendency to make things closer than they should be) and the Bama game will stick with me for years, just like all the rest.

I'd give the season a B- considering the youth and the relatively low expectations. Had we held on to vanquish Bama and finally exorcise the demons, I'd have given it a B+. Had they not been shutout by Arky, I'd give it a B even with the Bama loss.

The offensive struggles in the 2nd half of the season were frustrating, and getting shut out by Arky is pretty pathetic, but overall I love the improvement our defense showed, and our young offensive players provided enough flashes of brilliance for me to remain very excited about our future.

This team's best days lie ahead.
