So we may get blown out. We will recover. A&M, Georgia, Oklahoma did

Not sure why you claim we recovered from 21-0

We didn’t

That game broke LSU for more than half a decade and heralded the sad decline of miles. The entire program became a stale shell after that

A once in a lifetime QB talent was only thing that broke the spell that 21-0 cast on LSU

They believe LSU is a magical fairytale place that’s immune to the laws of science and reason.

Fans live on emotion, don't expect any nuance from them.

Rational person:
"So LSU lost like 38 players, and had no practice to break in an extremely inexperienced and depleted team? This season is widely viewed as a farce that players with good pro prospects don't care about? Yeah, I don't expect much in terms of record, nor do I care."


Balding, middle-aged manchild who watches the games at BWW: "Wear the purple and gold with pride or GTFO!! We should never lose to these teams!!! Stop making excuses!! These players are soft and entitled!! I want a roster of scrappy two stars! Fire O! "

Why did that lead to a decline? It was a fantastic year by all measurable indicators.

No one wants to hear it, but 2011 was pretty fluky: we had like a +20 turnover margin, the SEC was about as weak as it's been in recent memory, we should have lost the first game in Tuscaloosa, we had no first downs in the entire first half against Georgia until Mathieu's return TD flipped the momentum, etc.

Miles' Bo Schembechler philosophy was not going to win in the modern era

In a perfect TD rant world, the opinions and criticisms would all be sensible and delivered with a clue of actually understanding why things are the way they are.

Facts: There has never been a major college football team in the likes of brand and tradition that's lost more than LSU, along with 2 good to great assistant coaches and numerous offensive analysts. No spring ball, multiple players and position groups having to quarantine during preseason while trying to learn a new defensive system.

Perception: None of our coaches know shite, they're terrible and we should wipe the slate clean. Coach O is smashing blondes now and is not into this program like he was.

To date considering who we've played and when we've played them, our W-L record is just about on par when you factor in the realistic makeup of this team but putting an * on Miss St. bc I think right now we win that easily. Many will not agree with this but JMO.
