Entitlement syndrome? Is that a real thing?

Les has the most wins in the BCS era since 2005. Good for him. We won the SEC last year. Wooo good for us. Then we got embarrassed by Alabama, who is in our division. That basically cancels out the SEC championship. So, i guess youd rather have a SEC championship than a natl title? And I know we won in 2007, but its tainted. We were a 2 loss team that lost to Arkansas in the deciding game that would of sent us to the natl championship, no matter who won or lost in the other games. Plus, it was a senior laden team that were Sabans players. I know its a BS thing to say, but its true. Flynn, Dorsey, Highsmith, Favorite, Steltz, Zenon, Tyson Jackson, Chevis Jackson, Will Arnold, Curtis Taylor, Beckwith, JACOB HESTER, etc. Those were our best players that year, wouldnt you agree? Almost all of them were Saban players.

Dont get me wrong. Im thrilled that we have won the most games since 2005. But, we have little to show for it. Saban doesnt have the most wins since 2005, but hes got the championships. Wins < Championships.

Doesnt matter though. We are all entitled to our opinions, whether another person agrees or disagrees makes no difference.

the sunshine pumpers think the SEC title supercedes the national title. #2 in the nation!

we backed into the national title game. but it was a still a national title.

All Saban's players. We should have dominated that year yet lost to fricking KY in Lexington. 2006 we should have won a national title as well.

Saban got more out of his shorter tenure at alabama than Miles did with 2 more years under his belt. that is not debatable. bottom line, Saban is getting it done and Miles is doing good but not great especially with the resources and talent that LSU has.

if mullen is such a great coach with all these limitations of money, facilities etc. then why didn't he run back to florida when urban left. he could have had all the resources he wanted but he stayed where it was comfortable and people would excuse his record.

We haven't gone undefeated in the SEC in bout 50 yrs and winning the most powerful college conference in college football can't be cancelled out.

BS!

All 120 BCS programs played their games and LSU came out on top by winning the SEC and beating up on the #1 program in the nation.

The only LSU football team to ever win the BCS, AP, and Coaches crown.

I have to question the football smarts of any who believe that a HC who left a program in 12-04 is responsible for a win that took place in 1-08, but each to our own.

As to Mullen, I think the jury is still out on the guy. No doubt winning at state is a tougher gig than winning at LSU, but who has he beaten? Les was beating a Top 10 Oklahoma team in his 1st yr at Okla. St and Okla St had like one winning season in the last 10 when Les came there.
