It's not a negative, but some on here are completely happy with mediocrity. It's a result of the everyone gets a trophy generation.

That's just how the "Pumper People" operate. That's what they do. This will not change. Doesn't matter how steep the "Real and Spectacular" Decline gets either. The "Sunshine Boys" will be up here blowing smoke, defending and making excuses for every example of LSU Sports "Medios."

They were around for McClendon, Stovall, Archer, Hallman (Yes, there were more "Curley' defenders out there than you'd think) DiNardo and currently, Miles. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO! (Didn't really need them for Arnsparger and Saban)

"Championships. What Championships? We don't need no Championships. We're young and have a winning record and remember the 90's and just wait till next year when BH learns the playbook and Moffitt works his magic on Superstar DL" and so forth and so on and the endless stream of "Medios Justification."

Gotta Support the Team, ya know.

LMAO. I mean seriously, how stupid can some of these people be? Mediocrity?

Mediocrity to me would be middle of the pack.....or they were a perennial 25-30th ranked team.....comical. I would venture to guess that if one did the math, it would come out that since 2000, LSU is in the top 5 in wins, top 25 wins, national championship appearances, national championship wins, SEC championship appearances/wins.....the list could literally go on and on to prove LSU isn't mediocre....also, I realize Miles wasn't here in 2000......

Averaging 10 wins a season is not mediocre. LSU won a title 7 years ago, and played for another 4 years later.

This is the first down year in quite some time, and EVERYONE predicted it.

Frankly I think the only reason people have such unrealistic expectations is because of what has happened since Saban arrived at Alabama. They have become our measuring stick.

We've outplayed Bama 3 of the past 5 years and were a 4th and 10 stop away from beating them and being very much in the playoff discussion as late as week 11 this season.

If that's "mediocrity" then please sign me up for a lifetime pass.

Those same people who "demand excellence" from LSU are often mediocre or worse in their own lives. That's what makes the whole paradigm laughable to me.
