The sky is not falling...

I remember being 13 years old and listening to Jim Hawthorne call games during the Gerry Dinardo era and getting geeked out when we pull out a game over a ranked team. And each one of those games resonated and gave me a euphoric moment. I remember watching David Lafluer getting picked in the first round over Tony Gonzalez and getting geeked over LSU putting a first round pick in the League! I look back on those days fondly. And I look back on our NC fondly. But what has really soured my experience with LSU football since that time is the type of bourgeoisie attitude that make us hate Alabama fans, that make us hate USC fans, that make us hate Notre Dame fans. The sense of entitlement. That same attitude has infected our fan population. And that attitude is every time we lose the program is finished. We second guess every decision. We are going back to the Hallman era. It's not going to happen.
I understand why LSU fans are upset but there is no reason to start blaming Les and calling for his head. There is room for improvement but all this whining and complaining is so unconstructive and may in a way dissuade recruits from coming to LSU. We were never expected to compete for the NC game this year, our D was decimated by departures. College Football is a cyclical cycle (other than Alabama), some years you are on top and some years you aren't. We should strive for the top but the bitching has got to stop...
I'm going to guess people that registered 5 years after me are going to flame away!

You have a point, but still LSU should have came prepared for that game and played with a sense of urgency. I think those playcalls of throwing deep in the endzone where a bit unnecessary. Just proved they did not have patience possessing or driving the ball.

I don't care how bad things used to be. It's not 1999 anymore.

No its not falling buts it is certainly pretty damn dark.

The sky, moon, and sun is ok.
What's not ok is the expense of LSU football is going up but the product is no better or worse. LSU always plays down to lesser competion. The kids are led by its leader, but the leader is LES. Just frustrating .

Stopped reading right there.
9/10 Les apologists begin with this shite.

I am not a Les apologist. Every team gets beat by teams they shouldn't get beat by. I understand that's the inevitability of CFB, to think other wise is to spit in the face of logic.
It's not like we have melted down to the level of USC, UT or even Florida. These are the ebbs and flows of every program ala Michigan, OSU.
And to ignore a post because of one sentence shows you to be a fool.

This is the same coach that won the NC in 2009, got us to the NCG in 2012. His leadership was sufficient then and his leadership is sufficient now.
