re: Anybody else feel lost now without miles to complain about

I remember thinking it was a great sign that LSU was willing to pay a coach big money and step back into the big boy arena of college football.

Saban was interesting because he was known to be a real good football coach, good enough to have NFL teams interested.

The commitment to going big was made by LSU, but the expectations weren't nearly as high or as passion fueled. Nobody was demanding NCs, we just wanted to never see a 3-8 season again, and actually get to the SEC championship game like Miss St.
