re: Mourning the end of an era

if they are a top 20 team year in and year out, I'll be fine with that.
Why would you be fine with that when the last 8 years have proven that LSU should be a top 10 team more times than not?
This is where most people say, "b/c I remember the 90s, etc." With the facilities upgrades, money being poured into the program through TAF and tradition fund fees, and the lockdown we now have on the state of Louisiana with regards to recruiting, there's no reason we shouldn't be a top 10 team at least 60 % of the time as we were 5 of the last 8 years.

I don't think anybody is ok with last year. Not even me. I'm not ok with the way LSU played on Sat. But I am not jumping off or "mourning" the end of an era for LSU just yet. I'm not trying to stick out my chest and say I'm better than anybody for having endured the worst era of LSU ever, but I will say it hardened me just a bit. And because people like me are hardened having endured those times, we have no patience or sympathy for anybody that whines about what's going on today, no matter how much money is pumped in. By the way, TAF started toward the tail end of that horrible era.

I would be fine with it because it would mean great football games in Tiger Stadium and great tailgating every year. My love for the Tigers is not directly correlated with their ranking in the polls.
Consistent top 20 team = good team. Bottom line. Plus I think some of these rats would jump ship and that makes me happy.

I call BS on Miles saving the program by running Perriloux!
Fact is RP was a problem because of Miles complete lack of discipline! The situation finally got out of hand to the point he had to run him.
If Little Nicky had still been here, he would have crushed RP at the 1st sign of trouble and show him who is in charge!
In fact, if Saban's here there's a descent chance RP is still on the team and last year never happens! God knows the D would have been better!
