To all the negatigers who have suddenly resurfaced....

Hey, i know most of you are young kids and clueless, and don't take a real look at reality very often....but here is a news flash.
You guys talk about the lsu program in a decline, etc. Lsu won a NC in 2007. Since that NC, lsu had a rough year in 2008, but still won 8 games, and then improved in 2009 to go 9-3 regular season, and improved yet again in 2010 to go 10-2. Keep in mind, lsu played against NINE bowl eligible teams this year, so no walk in the park.
The ONLY two teams that have won the NC since LSU last played for it finished behind LSU this year(ala and fl), and both arguably have better talent and better coaching according to you guys....and lsu beat both of them. In addition, the other two teams that played against those two teams in the NC game (ou and tx), both have struggled mightily since that time...only OU has the same record as LSU this year. Last year OU was bad. TX was terrible this year, as was florida.
Let's also take a look at USC.....We are talking about 6 of the most elite teams in the country, and lsu is not trailing any of them.....
Outside of auburn, lets look at the media darlings for most of this year....oregon, boise and tcu...look at the damn schedules they play...it is not a coincidence that they all had great seasons...the mighty pac 10 will get THREE teams in bowl games this year...absolutely pathetic conference. The big 10 is the big 10, alsways a couple of teams overrated at the top due to playing poor competition in the big 10....they usually get exposed in the BCS games.........
so all you kids, i realize that you come up when lsu has been doing well.....but instead of being so negative, you might want to learn to enjoy the ride...it won't be like this forever, i assure you......just ask notre dame, florida state, nebraska, miami, tenn, alabama, texas, usc...etc....each of those programs at one time thought they were untouchable....

sorry about this being long...

Good points but there is always room for improvement. We can start improving by getting rid of Crowton.
Posted on 11/30/10 at 8:04 am to mt1
hey i totally agree...certainly room for improvement....and crowton gone is a huge step for lsu.....but you know what, all of these elite programs all have issues of their own...it's not like lsu is the only one with serious issues to face.....afterall, as i said there is not one of those elite teams that finished ahead of lsu this year record-wise, and most finished far behind...

Nice post, but useless on here you realize?
Posted on 11/30/10 at 8:11 am to TigerFan128
when is the last time we have dominated an opponent??? Probably Va Tech 07'. Last second wins to Ole Miss and losses to Arky are unacceptable. Win you have consistent top 5 recruiting classes and these opponents are not even in the top 30 and you have to be "cute" to pull of the win is just not getting it done.

being ranked dead last in sec in offense and 90's and 100's in the nation is not acceptable.
Posted on 11/30/10 at 8:14 am to TigerFan128
Well said. What would we do if we had a season like Texas this year?

I know, we are dealing with a lot of kids on here than know far more than most of us...the realistic, logical guys are not welcome on this board...dammit, we are lsu, we are the best, no one else can make that claim...we should win every game, we should never have a down year, we should have the best coaches, the best talent, the best facilities, winning 9 or 10 games is simply unacceptable...we are LSU...lol...haha
A lot of these kids came up during the last 5-8 years when lsu has had it's best decade ever...they don't quite get it yet...but unfortunately, if they live long enough, they will one day understand how great we have it right now.

yeah i know huh...i mean we are top 5 recruiting some years...not like texas or florida or bama or usc huh....or OU....i mean this is just unacceptable...we ARE LSU.....none of these other schools have any claim to being the best...lol.....I'm pretty sure Texas and USC and florida would like to have won some of those close games.....kid, you really are clueless....if you would just use a little bit of your brain and be realistic, you would see that texas and usc and florida have been outrecruiting us yet they suck.....and they have great coaches according to you guys (at least florida and texas). All we heard early in the year was how urban would coach florida up, and lsu would not....well florida with more talent went 7-5....lsu with les miles went 10-2.....get a clue kid.

kid, lsu is not ranked dead last in the sec in offense...they have struggled no doubt....but abe ole pal.....us old guys (43) have a tendency to look at wins and losses......i mean hey, i keep up with lsu stats, ALL of them, but one is just a little more important to me than others......of course, i respect your opinion that offensive rank is the number one stat.....i just think once you reach and exceed the drinking age you will kind of get a little bit more of an understanding of what i was talking about. But hey, maybe texas and florida should fire their head coaches because they sucked on offense this year....and with ALL THAT TALENT......kids...lol

i know...doesn't that make you proud to have les miles as a head coach? what a coaching job he did this year to bring this team in at 10-2 and the only two losses being single digit losses on the road to highly ranked teams.......what a great job he did didn't he? say it with me, what a GREAT job les did to get us to 10-2 with that terrible offense........i mean, florida couldn't do it with their terrible offense, texas couldn't do it.......usc couldn't do it....even the great saban......THANK GOD WE HAVE LES MILES HUH....SAY IT WITH ME KID.

I'm older. We have stunk for 3 years. crowton and stud would have been fired last year in the corporate world. all i'm saying is get rid of the clowns. they have no business coaching at LSU.

News flash: offense is only one phase of the game. We were above average to good in the other two phases of the game, and that helped us win games even with a struggling offense.
I just don't get why people think offense is great compared to defense and special teams. They are all needed to win. Look at 2007, LSU lost two games by scores of 43-37 and 50-48. Plenty of offense there, guess we should have been happy about those losses.

SO then are you uneducated? I mean seriously....if you are older and more realistic, you should have known lsu wasn't dead last in the SEC in offense...i believe they weren't even 10th or 11th, but i KNOW they weren't dead last......
You don't have all the answers Abe, not even close. You have no idea why crowton was retained.....quite possibly the huge financial turmoil going on has a lot to do with it...whatever the reason, we are 10-2.....i'll repeat myself...i respect the fact your number 1 stat is total offense....but i'll stick to my number 1 stat being total wins...but hey, that's just me.....you are entitled to believe what you want.

I completely agree. They both need to go.

they were 11th in total offense. dead last in passing. we are not vanderbilt or kentucky. we have top five talent in the nation and are ranked in the 90's and 100's. that is a joke.
