re: So this four year cycle thing.

Because of this weird 4-year cycle for LSU, what it means is that every single kid that has signed with LSU since 2000 (and stayed for at least 4 years) ended up being a member of a team that played in the National Championship Game.

You would think that would be a nice tidbit to attract potential recruits. Of course, if we don't make it this year, the streak will end with the 2012 signees.
