re: Is anyone still excited about this season?

I'm excited that I get to spend several more Fall afternoons and evenings with lifelong friends from Louisiana watching LSU play, eating good food, drinking beer, laughing, carrying on, letting all of our kids play together. In the end, that's all that really matters.

I would prefer that the team be dominant (or at least competitive,) but that's not a requirement for me, and I certainly don't consider it a birthright.

Different people get different things out of LSU football. I get a feeling of comraderie and a damn good time, win or lose.
