LSU'S FUTURE
Posted on 12/6/09 at 11:48 am

I'm really ashamed that most of you fans have given up the west to bama for the near future. I guess it doesn't matter that the two most recent losses could have easily been wins. Most of you are acting like bama just destroyed us the last two years. Bama is losing 8 starters on defense and finally has a schedule that isn't favorable for them. Damn i thought i'd never see the day LSU FANS CONCEDED LOSSES BEFORE THEY HAPPENED.

I agree completely....
trouble is, at least the indications are that bama is on the rise and we are on the fall....gotta change that image...

I can't take too many "wait 'til next years." And besides, did you see our schedule next year?

The issue I have is that we are now challenged by Bama every year...They don't have to face Florida until the SECCG...They play Tennesee every year, but now we have to play them too. Mississippi State is going to be better with Mullens; Ole Miss has beaten us two years in a row and is almost always a close game, and we struggle with Arkansas perpetually.
I'm not giving away the West, but the truth is we aren't where we were as a program in the past, and it is evident.
Love my Tigers, will always cheer for them, but I would be lying to myself if I said I feel like everything is going to be fine.
Had I been on the Titanic when it went down, I would have been looking for a lifeboat to help rescue people, not sitting in with the band to make everyone feel happy as the boat went down.
Am I a little cynical? Probably, but I am amazed at the amount of people simply willing to sit in with the band. Don't get me wrong, there are way too many people just trying to blow up the ship entirely as well. I'm not one of them, but I'm not willing to simply watch the massive drowning either.

Well, who do you think would win the best out of four or five games coached between these two? If you think Miles wins 4 out of 5, you may need to rethink that logic.

LSU picks up Tennessee the next two years but I think Alabama picks up Florida the next two years too. So that should even out the schedule.

Speaking of "conceding losses before they happen", this brief thread recalls for me the simple-minded (but typical) statement of Chollie Mac one Alabama week before the sent his team out for its annual arse-kicking by The Bear: "I just hope we make them win it, and not us give it to 'em". And sure enough - "they" did "win it". One more time.

We've hit a two-year slump, which not coincidentally has coincided with inexperience at the QB position and the transition in the defensive coaching staff. This kind of stuff happens....in ANY program. I look for us to be in the thick of the SEC and BCS races over the next couple of years as the QB situation stabilizes and the D gets more familiar with Chavis' scheme. But the SEC West is becoming the most competitive division in college football. There will no longer be any "gimme" games in the division, and a lot of anyone's success in any given year will depend on which East teams they play.

really guys? we cant have some faith in our beloved Tigers? Im sure that everybody on here was expecting a 13-1 year in 2003 correct? Or how bout 12-2 in 2007 with an incredibly hard schedule? have some god damn faith, cheer ur asses off for dear old LSU, and we can do this again... We were beating that bama team that u have already named king of the world through 3 quarters of football on the road... LSU can do this, and i have every confidence that next season will be a return to glory... go ahead and rip me apart, but at least i can truly say

i also reserve the right to retract my previous statement if GC, and/or Stud stays
Posted on 12/6/09 at 1:55 pm to tygerboy17
amen Tigerboy!! go ahead and rip me too, but count me as a believer in LSU getting the job done next year. Bama is not going to just roll over everyone from here out.

Saban has done a great job at Bama.....BUT....can't go undefeated every year......sooooo.......it's gotta go down some and it will.
LSU will be fine....
LSU will be fine....

IF Miles decides to keep Crowton and Stud the future is nothing but doom and gloom. With all three back for another season it will only get worse. Thankfully if thats the way it goes down Miles will probably be out of our hair after next season along with Crowton.

LSU wins the west but looses in the NC game.

Their SEC schedule is pretty brutal, they have UF and all the usual West, which should mostly be better on the whole. In addition 5 SEC teams have their BYE week before playing BAMA (LSU, AUB, Miss. St. , Ole Miss, Tenn, and SC).
Should add: I believe that LSU, AUB, and Tenn will all be better next year.
Our OOC sched is a little tougher since we are playing two BCS teams (though both seem to be going down), while Bama plays Penn St.

Who or what would be the iceberg in this analogy?

This is the fact that the "sky is falling" crowd seems to disregard. Yes, Saban has Bama playing at a high level, but if you look around, everyone in the west has improved, and this will make for some real dogfights in the coming years. If Bama rolls through the SEC next year undefeated, then I'll be ready to crown them as the new Superpower in the SEC.

Do you actually think LSU will compete with Bama the next two year? The best LSU has done in the past 5 years is two losses in the SEC.

When one says one "can't take too many 'wait 'til next years'", what does one do about that?
Stop watching and going to games?
Sell the season tickets?
Wear Alabama colors?
Become a Tulane fan?
We have no control over who are coaches are, so exactly what does one do other than bitch ad nauseum?
I'm not happy either, but I don't see any choices other than to stop being a fan and I will always be a fan, no matter what.
