Hell, it's only about 90 minutes from my house. But for chrissake, it's not like I don't already know what our offense is going to look like.

I would love to believe that after a month of extra time, I'll go see the beginning of good things to come going into next year. Instead, I suspect that even if we win, I'm going to walk away having seen a heaping pile of shite on offense.

This is going to be a long off-season because anyone who is being honest with themselves has to admit there is very little actual reason to be optimistic that our offense wont be catastrophic again next year. It isn't as if we showed growth this year AT ALL!

Any hope for next year's offense rest solely in our imaginations. There is nothing in the way of actual evidence to support it. And that's sad because at least early, both JJ and JL gave the appearance of people who could be developed.

This year? Nah. AJ is done and we are left to hope that BH is the real deal. If BH isn't, LSU is completely screwed on offense.

This. It's not like I want Oregon's spread or TAMU's air raid or anything like that. Is it too much to ask for something like USC's offense or Bama's offensive play calling?

2000-2007 LSU football was great to watch. Since, the QB play has been so bad (with the exception of one year 2011) that it really hasn't been all that fun to watch.

Their D sucks too...;however, some of their injuries will be healed.
so it is a relatively bad Off vs a relatively mediocre Def.

..with 4 losses, what else can you expect, at least is a BIG NAME rival.

nah, LSU should be able to run pretty effectively against ND so the offense should move quite well

it won't be passing or anything sexy, but seeing 5 yards a carry while moving down the field isn't a "heaping pile of shite on offense"

Have some faith man. It's just as easy to choose to be optimistic as it is to sound like a pessimistic, miserable old bastard. I'm sure you "hope you're wrong" and all that, but that isn't the same as having a little blind faith in this team's ability to improve. Try it out, you'll feel better.

The only reason I'm somewhat interested is because its against notre dame. Had it been another game against a team like iowa I woulnt care at all.

I'm excited for it and have already bought my tickets.

Come on guys! LSU is 8-4 not 4-8. I am just as frustrated with our lack of QB development and stale offense too, but we have a winning football team to pull for. I don't subscribe to the championship or bust mentality many have here. Championships are the goal, but a season is not lost if you don't win a championship. At a minimum, you may get to see LF break a thousand yards.

You poor baby. That mean old LSU is making your life miserable because they don't run the offense you want them to!

I guess you're focusing solely on the passing game. The offense did some different things against Texas A&M, and rushed for 384 yards.

That's the most Rushing Yards for LSU in a game since 1997 (400 Yards Rushing vs. Kentucky).

I think I just value winning games more than most of you guys.
A win vs ND is always a good thing.

We tried to weather the storm in a rebuilding year on offense. We won't have first year starters at every single skill position next year. We will be better.

Looking back , this season was ok. 4 losses against the best division in all of college football .

Look at OU and Texas. Look how bad the season went for UF and USCe . Michigan looking for another coach. Notte Dame dropping 5 out if their last six games.

How about Oklahoma State having a rough year. Tennessee fans still looking for another upswing in their program. Mark Ricth at Georgia dropping games.

And LSU rebuilding at QB and still won eight games. Not too bad all things considered. I like this matchup with Notre Dame. Not a program we play that often.

A chance for a nine win season. Things could be worse.

It's a shame that some of you cannot enjoy LSU football.

I just can't imagine being so cynical that I could not enjoy going to LSU games and watching the school that I love compete for the final time this season.

If this is how so many of you treat something so lighthearted as College Football, I can't imagine how shitty the important things in your life are.

Will not know about BH either because he is not likely to play at all. Makes no sense to me, but I have no reason to expect anything different.

there is very little actual reason to be optimistic

There is nothing in the way of actual evidence to support it. And that's sad

Why even follow LSU if it makes you so miserable?

Indeed, why willingly engage in any endeavor that just makes you feel so bad?

Why not just take up knitting and forget about college football? You obviously don't seem to have the stomach for it.
