Anyone who reads this board knows there is quite a bit of negativity concerning LSU especially the offensive coaching staff. Admittingly, much of it is deserved based on last years debacle. I wonder though if watching the Saints offense operate every Sunday makes watching LSU on Saturdays that much more brutal. Has the success of the Saints offense changed our perceptions of what a good offense should look like? I wonder if we subconsciously are comparing LSU offense to the Saints offense and thus are over-reacting just a bit. Just a thought.

I could see it happening. Maybe not the actual points and all that shite but what I focus on is the way Payton gives his playmakers a chance to succeed. Like the way he uses Bush and Pierre. I guess I do subconsciously compare that.

Rise of Saints an Saban/Alabama have exponentially increased criticism of LSU's shortcomings.

So far as I can tell, the primary effect of the Saints' recent success is that many of the bandwagon fans who used to ride LSU's nuts are now cozily snuggled in Payton's jock, pretending that they have been fanatical black and gold supporters since the dark days of the 1970's.

(P.S. I am not from New Orleans nor am I a saints fan. Just my impartial observation.)

people were negative on this board at least as far back as 2005, and the Saints weren't exactly tearing it up

since Day 1 SP has coached his players, he always been in there asses, it's just lately he's mellowed down, but SP plays all his players and gets good usage out of them. There is no comparison between him and Miles!

I get what you're saying, but I think the Saints actually make it easier to deal with LSU. There has been a complete 180 degree flip flop in that regard. At one time, there were 50 people at a time in the purple and gold sports shop and 10 in the black and gold right next door. It's the exact opposite now. I can't stand the bandwagoners either, just stating an observation.

It sure feels like the LSU fanbase is getting apathetic.
