Couldn't wait for the top 25 to come out to see how many votes we would receive... I would always see Michigan, FSU, OU, Ohio ST and think man wouldn't it be awesome to always be ranked in the top 10? Last year ended crappy but it was a great ride... Hope we win it all this year but if not i'll still enjoy it... To think i actually threw a big party to celebrate us making the independence bowl...

Too well.
I was thinking he other day that there will probably be a year n the next decade when we'll lose three games. That's going to suck bad enough. I don't think the fan base could handle going back to actual losing seasons.

I remember when the Independence bowl was a exciting time

I remember reading polls in the Daily Reveille when I was in school back in the late 80's, early 90's. I was always hoping/praying to see us crack the top 20 (I think that was the polls back then). I almost wish (not really) that we could have a couple of years like that again just so the rantards could how bad it can really be.

I can still remember when I was about 8 years old (1992) telling people my favorite team was the Tigers and them laughing at me and calling us a joke, and now those same people are wearing toonces clothes daily

I remember being in the 3rd grade and being absolutely jacked the Tigers made a bowl game. Good God our expectations are so high now

I remember losing seasons and dreams crushed more than 1/9. The 90s was a painful roller coaster.

Hell yes I remember it. I remember watching Mississippi State in the SECCG, thinking how much I'd give to see LSU in that game and asking myself why LSU couldn't just get there.
The young whippersnappers don't understand. They expect a national championship run every year. That is very nice, but it will not continue forever.
We have been blessed to see the last two coaches who in my opinion are the best that LSU has ever had. Dietzel was pretty darn good and arguably better than Saban or Miles either one, but he left so soon after establishing the program that we will never know.
Enjoy it folks. We are living in the golden age of LSU football.

There sure has been a lot of "remember when we used to suck?" threads going on lately. Football season can't get here soon enough

I remember looking at the AP preseason poll and hoping we were in the 'also receiving votes' category with a bunch of other teams.

Distinctly remember all the losses to Bammer for so many years, then the beatdowns from Spurrier & thinking LSU may never be an elite program.
Coach Miles has taken the program to a place we could only dream of once upon a time. I, for one, am really enjoying the ride.

10 yrs ago is not that hard to remember.
I am enjoying this view much, much better.
It's pretty neat to be seen as one of the best college football has to offer rather than good/mediocre/bad which we were for much of 1975 till 2000.

I was a fan since the early 80's but really got into it in arnspargers last year and then mike archer and curley. Dinardo brought back the magic and then Saban put us over the top. Les has maintained that so yes I remember the days where we knocked off the giants. Bama 93.
