As an alumnus of LSU and a Texas native, I'll just say LSU has become a complete joke in the last 3-5 years. Top to bottom, academically and athletically. Pretty embarrassing really. We're now the "cute" school in the south with the water boy coach because nobody wanted to come here. That's the cold hard truth.

What bowl game is texas going to? Charlie Strong would've won more with LSU talent and the football culture here. If LSU played Texas' schedule they'd probably be in the freaking playoffs. Academics at UT are very good, but LSU and their reputation in most fields are not looked at as embarrassing. I think what you're saying is crap. If Texas had as much balls as they do money and boosters, they'd be a contender no matter who the coach is, was or will be. UT athletics is like a private high school with politics and money determining the culture instead of toughness and discipline. LSU will be ok. Texas will continue to fight over who has the most influence on the program.
