That we are truly that close to Gump-dum

That we are not losing ground in recruiting

That we are going to be better next year

I love, LOVE, LSU Football! I don't live and breathe it like some of the hardcore people out there, but it is important to me because it was, at one point, part of my life.

Please, make me a posi-tiger.

PS - right now, yes, we are one of the top programs in the country, but why does it feel like we are maxed out/leveled off

Show me a team that is closer to "Gump-dum" than LSU. Oregon, Stanford, Ohio State (to be determined), FSU, aTm? A few of those are toss-ups. No program is really close to what Bama has accomplished.

We beat them last year and played them in the bcs championship. We on the sec last year, they didnt.

Well recruitng is not going to budge. They will continue to get #1 and #2 rankings. whether that is indicative of the actual talent is for another argument. But id say as long as you reel in top 10 classes you are fine. Not much difference. Even though most would have you believe LSu has the best facilities, most talent, and no other team can put players into the nfl.

Beat them once last year. Should have beat them this year.

Last I checked we were signing a pretty solid class again. Next year we could be top 5 with the talent in that class. Recruiting has never been an issue.

We probably won't be. It's not an easy task when you lose half your defense to the nfl.

We were one defensive stop or one personal foul call away from beating them this year and being SECW champs

Our recruiting class is the shite can end up ranked anywhere from #6-#1. Josh MCneil decommitted from Bama and would be an LSU commit right now if it wasnt for academics and most likely will end up as one. We could see alot of the players in the rotation or starting next season. This year and next year could end up being out two best recruiting classes ever. We are in fact gaining ground in out of state recruitment having more recruits from all over the US than ever before and have 10 out of the top 12 recruits from Louisiana locked up.

We might take a step back next year defensively but I believe our offense is going to be alot like Bamas this year. We are going to have an awesome O-Line (barring any injuries) and the Blue/Hill combo is going to eat people alive. Also Mett will have another offseason under his belt to work with the receivers. Our offensive philosophy is sound we just need to take out a few plays and execute better and we will be unstoppable.

LSU is pulling in another Top 5 recruiting class and could land #1 player nation

LSU is to the point they reload not rebuild, they have a stable defensive coordinator so they will never have a 08/09 defense again


Look, no coach or team is even with Alabama and Saban at the moment but LSU is not far off. LSU over past 3 season has played Alabama tough and a few breaks they beat them again this year. LSU may be closer than pretty much any team in the nation if you compare them over the past 5 season. No LSU does not have the national titles of Alabama over that span but name another team that does. LSU has been in the hunt and the Alabama game has been a deciding factor in that.
LSU still has 5* and 4* players across the board, that has not changed. What Saban is doing in recruiting is amazing, but it doesn't just effect LSU it effects every CFB team. As Louisiana isn't the only state he has recruited well in.
Les is a flawed coach, we've seen that but he is also a proven winner, maybe he goes the Bob Stoops route and continues to put up 10+ wins a season and has LSU in the hunt for a national championship but falls short. However, NO COACH is currently doing what Saban is doing and very few are maintaining their teams the way Les and LSU have been since 05.
We play in the SEC which has now won 7 straight BCS games and sent 2 teams to BCS games pretty much every season, so winning the way Les has is even more amazing imo and I have never been a huge Les fan, I respect him but I question his playcalling like everyone else.

This is how programs should work. We reach the top of CFB then start building a strong foundation by creating better facilities, locking up recruitment in state and branching out of state, hire great staff, continue a tradition of winning, etc. We do this so when some cataclysmic change happens in the program like it does to everyone every 10 years or so we wont drop off the face of the earth.

Wish I would have thought about that years ago when I joined this site. But I did not get my wreath until later. Went with one of my old call signs instead.

It's easy to reload a 80th ranked or lower offense each year. Actually Miles has made art of under delivering on the offensive side of the ball.

Don't, jump, kill yourself. We are not good. We may never have another winning season.
