35 years takes us back to 1985, baw.

So, in your mind 1999 and 2020 are worse than 1992?

I mean, 1999 wasn't a great football team, by any standards, but snakebitten - Just 3 scores and that team has a winning record.

1992's best (actually better, because there were only 2, but I digress) win was 24-3 over #18 Mississippi State. They posted 3-score losses to (admittedly Top 7 teams) Bama and Tennessee, as well as Arkansas, and were shut out 32-0 by Ole Miss.

1999 got beaten badly by unranked Auburn, Top 10 Florida, as well as embarrassing losses to Kentucky and Houston (in Tiger Stadium), but 1992 lost to Colorado State.

I don't think any team coached by Dinardo was as bad as the 1992 Hallman fiasco- which was the only team in a long, long, long time that had no players selected in the NFL draft following the season.

It's just too early to tell and COVID necessarily makes evaluating the 2020 team, objectively, a huge challenge.

1992 Hallman fiasco

I've been following LSU football since 1964... What is puzzling to me is that this team has talent on the roster, but their playing is bi-polar... you see some promise one week then garbage the next.

The biggest difference between Hallman's teams and this one is the talent on the roster. Hallman had none whatsoever... So when they looked like garbage, you kinda expected that...

Given what our talent level is on our roster, its almost shocking what we see on the field...
