re: Now that LSU football has fallen back to the pack

Top 10 ain't exactly "average." If 120 schools are in the FBS (1-A), I'm ok with being in that top percentile, realizing that a consistent top 10 program will occassionally bear BCS bowl or BCS title game fruit.
Florida, USC, Oklahoma, Georgia, Ohio State are some examples of schools that have had a top 10 to top 15 year (as opposed to top 5), yet are still in BCS title talk from year to year.
And their fans don't have a SKY IS FALLING mentality that I've witnessed.
So, considering where we've been for the majority of the 110+ years of playing football, I'm pretty good with a Top 10 program.

The sky isn't falling. We just aren't an elite team anymore. But you watch the games, so you don't need me to tell you that. I just wanted to know how everyone felt about it.

Every one of those teams has a better record and higher average ranking than we do over the past two years. Those fans don't think the sky is falling for them because it isn't. For us, it already has.

I probably would be, too, if we still had one.
