7th November 2015 #2 LSU vs #4 Alabama

This was not a match up of the undefeated as Alabama had lost to Ole Miss in the third week of the season.

LSU was however, undefeated, ranked #2 in the country. We also were holding on to the #1 recruiting class in the country. We also had a legitimate Heisman contender in Leonard Fournette.

We lost by 2 touchdowns that day, Fournette was not a factor with just 32 yards rushing. His Heisman hopes all but disappeared.

It was the beginning of the end for Les Miles. He would coach just 8 more games.

In any case Joe Burrow is far better than Brandon Harris, our receiver core is about the best we have ever had and the coaches clearly understand that running into the meat of Alabama's monster front 7 will not get us anywhere.

Anyway....the point was:
(1) Whatever happens tomorrow, let us not give up on Coach O, the coaches, the players and Joe Burrow. They have all done heck of job

(2) Hopefully win or lose, the team will be ready to look beyond the Bama game and be ready to run the table. It is important to make a push for the playoffs.

(3) Please do not call for firings. Remember this is not just a #3 team in the country. This is a mega dynasty run by the greatest coach in the history of NCAA football, aided by refs and conference officials who will not let them lose. It is a heck of a challenge.

(4) Also look around and see some fallen powerhouses, Texas, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Florida (to some extent).

We are very lucky and privileged to be fans of this program, through three coaches and almost 20 years.
