All that talent in the NFL and what are the results since 2012? How many losses has Miles averaged since 2008?

and in 2012 we started 12, but were up to 9 by the 2nd poll. and to 6 before the end of Sept.

No that was 2013, big chief.

I am tired of attributing our mediocrity to (numerous) early departures to the NFL and lack of QB development.

We got to play ball this year...

And if we don't, resulting in another 8-4 regular season, all the well known non-competitive, non-athletic, cheerleading, excuse making SP's, MA's and SH's on the Rant will be perfectly FINE with it.

They'll still heap lavish praise on their worshipped god, regardless of record!

8-4
9-3

SP's (Sunshine Pumpers)
MA's (Mediocrity Acceptors)
SH's (Sand Headers)

Football seems to run in 4 year cycles with this team so hopefully we will finally have 1/9 out of our systems.
The lackluster recruiting class that we had in 2012 has been killing us. No QB's and only 1 D-lineman (D. Hunter) that signing class.

I believe that we will be much better on both sides of the ball next year.


I think that often LSU players and fans feel entitled and expect other teams to roll over for us. Hopefully now that this team has had their teeth knocked in a couple of times over the past couple of years they will play with a chip on their shoulders.

Excellent question, I don't think so

2011 was the last time

We all love the Tigers, and I am NOT trying to be negative in anyway... after all the preseason polls are mainly for fan interest anyways

I just want LSU to compete at an elite level and be relevant in late November..

being picked 14th-16th before the season isn't a good tail tail sign, though deep down, I know LSU is equally or more talented than most of these teams ranked higher..

like I said, we just have to ball out...

QB must step up and DL and LB's must be elite...

Overall, the program is in a very healthy state...Just need to win more close games

I think LF could be our 2nd Heisman winner and bring glory to the program..

Yea if we had Dak Prescott we would easily be top 5


If we had this kid, I don't see how we would not be a consensus #1 team across the board.

He could be molded into our system.....I guess. You're saying he would not be an upgrade from where we're at now?

It is a preseason poll. I get it, but other than Bama on the road, I feel strongly about winning every game we play. Auburn will be good, but we have them at home. Arkansas will be tough, but we have them at home. Ole Miss will be on the road, but they have to find a QB too.

12-1, SEC Champs, Final Four!

It was a bad joke made in poor taste. I was going to say something dumb about him being too effective for our system.
