re: LSU plays everybody close excuse..

Exactly..its not so much about games they have lost recently as games that they walked way too thin a line and eventually it will catch up to u and cost a shot at a championship. Close games when a big underdog hangs around is great for tv and for the fan with no rooting interest. I always pull for the underdog. But as an lsu fan I would prefer they come out and establish their dominance on lesser teams quickly and make for miserable tv. Save the great games for the top teams like bama and usce this year.
