re: Are LSU fans unreasonable or do they have the right expectations?

Expectations are high but that isn't necessarily bad. Baseball is the number 1 program in attendance so it's comparable to Kentucky or duke expectations for round ball. A great year at another school may only be a good year at truly elite or expected elite programs. Football is a solid program but it's cleary not fun having other Sec west schools equalling or surpassing success that were clearly beneath the program. It's not fun playing second fiddle to traditional sec schools in certain years in football but the others have stepped up. Fair or not the expectation is for LSU to be a major force in the division year in and yeAr out. If Kentucky and Vandy started winning in the East over programs like UGA or Florida I am sure they wouldn't like it either.
