First time since Gerry Dinardo was roaming the LSU sidelines as headcoach that LSU has lost back to back games by double digit points

Yall act like Arkansas has had zero talent in Les's tenure. The last two years are tough to defend, but the ignorance shown by some of yall is surpri.... wait, it's not surprising.

Of note: 6 of those losses were to teams that won the national championship that year
Agree, those are forgivable.

But of those 6, the latest loss was 2012. Problem has been the losses over the last 3 years that are unforgivable.

2007 was and absurd loss despite the names. We were at home with a natty on the line and lost to 4 loss team. 2 weeks before they lost 13–34 @ Tennessee.

2008 was a horrible, horrible Arkansas team. Sure, LSU was not great either, but Arkansas lost to Sly Croom the week before.

The crappy Arkansas teams and players and coaches have had Les's number for years. Stack the talent up side by side and you would see a huge disparity in LSU's favor. Arkansas coaches have come and gone, LSU's stays the same.

2006 Auburn is forgivable Bc the referees were simply not going to allow the LSU offense to score. It was never going to happen and it's not Les' fault. Frankly Les should've taken his team off the field Bc that game was rigged.

Outside of Alabama and Arkansas, he has pretty much owned the rest of the conference. For the love of God, please finish strong Les!


Georgia? He's 2-3 against Georgia.

And did LSU have the same level of talent all of Saban's career at LSU? I think not.

What stands out to me is compare our record against Auburn in that timespan to our record against Arkansas. Y'all think Arkansas is that much better of a program than Auburn? Y'all think Auburn doesn't "get up" for the LSU game? Or do you think it has more to do with when we play Arkansas?
