That "tough conference" does not seem to be phasing that red and white team a couple states to our East. Going UNDEFEATED after a 6-6 season, something that didnt even come close to happeneing with the best talent that this school has ever seen under Miles' watch. Not to mention, that team could be well on thier way to going undefeated again this season. They dont seem to be worried about a tough conference.

No decline? 7-5 last season. Lackluster performes this whole year, as well as an offense ranked in the 100s. Seems like a slight decline to me.

Last year was obviously unacceptable.

However, some of you are not only conceding this year's unplayed Bama game, you are also conceding the remainder of the games we play in 2009, the 2010 season, and apparently the whole of the next decade.

That's a bit premature.

Maybe i'm crazy, but i thought i saw them lose 2 games last season.

I question my sanity for this, but anyway...

FYI . . .UF won national championship and, was, if memory is correct 8-4 next year

FYI...LSU wins NC under Saban and, was, if memory is correct, 8-4

and, the 8-5 last year was posted with QB's that weren't penciled in as the starter. . .yep, stuff happens (see OU this year)

but, the point is, losing the guy you plan on hanging your hat on does cause problems

and, that same guy would be a senior this year

The offense could be more productive but I don't think this venue is providing Miles and staff any revelations in that regard

as for the red team being unphased. . .they looked fairly "phased" against UF and Utah last year and they didn't look like anything LSU couldn't compete with and beat last week against USC

LSU has been at its offensive best under Miles and Saban when they could run the ball well . . .under Saban there was a time when the running game was bad but, Rohan was slinging 'em all over the field to compensate . . .that ain't the case this year (or last year either)

That's not the cards LSU's playing with right now . . . my guess is they go 10-2, perhaps 9-3, maybe even 8-4

and maybe things go very well and they run the table and we get another shot at the SEC championship . . . who knows?

regardless, this team is poised to compete for championships . . . great recruiting and a coaching staff that has already documented it can play with and beat the best . . .

so, at the end of the day, and the end of the season I'll still be a Tigah fan and I'll enjoy whatever ride is left for this year
