I'm happy we are going to start off next season under the radar.

LSU football is so much better when the expectations on the team aren't as high. This year for the most part was miserable because I thought we had the best team in the country (judging by the early defections we may have had the most talent). I was not at all able to enjoy the 10 win season.

Next year I will be thrilled with 10 wins and a couple of upsets over the big 4 of Bama, A&M, Georgia, and Florida. Some of us look at our schedule and view it as unfair or a hinderance, but after our defections and this obviously being a rebuilding year, it will be instrumental in developing our young talent.

In short, I am very excited to see the young guys develop and more excited to actually enjoy LSU football again.

Agree. LSU will be scary good in the upcoming years.


Miles also seems to do better as a under dog.

If we're talking about the gameday experience and atmosphere, I completely agree. Our team handles pressure well though, IMO.

I'm praying we only lose 3 or 4. I could see us dropping games to Ole Miss and TCU as well as those four. Most likely 9-3 with a decent bowl appearance though.

Eh. This season would feel a thousand times better had we beaten Clemson and Alabama had lost to ND or Georgia.

Even more fun winning big when you don't expect it. Part of the reason 2011 was so great is because I thought we were 1 year away. That win against Oregon was probably the best game we have played in 10 years and IMO the most enjoyable LSU game I've ever watched.

Right now I want LSU to come out and blow the doors off every team we play.

Enough of squeaking out wins against teams we should step on.

I beg to differ. I'd love to be Alabama right now. They expect to win titles ..... and they win them.

We have no chance until we have better discipline and get rid of the chronic.

I guess Bama, Fla, GA, and A&M arent putting people in the draft this year. Only LSU

No changes to the offense. Another year of finishing in the bottom half of college football in offense and we will be scary good? If defense finishes ranked around 20-25 then that's taking a step back. I see 3 losses again next year. Fix the offense (a top 50 finish) and we would be in national title contention.

We did it last year.


Have a little faith. Don't get me wrong, some major improvements need to be made on offense but they are small in the grand scheme of things.

Miles just needs to do it. And I'm a big Miles advocate but I'm tired of this "being so close but so far away" thing.

I know something that you don't. Let me just say that if he declines an offer to the Jets, which is very likely, he will be the next OC at LSU

What? He would be thrilled with 10 wins because of all the new starters. All the top teams are going to be doing that.

If we had an offense worth a shite, he wouldnt have to be amazed at 10 wins.
