re: LSU being underestimated

Seems like most of the country IS NOT underestimating LSU. They are the second ranked SEC team to start the season despite being picked to finish 3rd...in the West...at SEC media day.

They lose three 1st round draft picks from last season along with both starting LB's and WR's (3 of them drafted). They also lose their most experienced O lineman. Along with all of that their new HC is a guy who was almost universally thought to be a poor hire. Yet......despite all of that they start the season a the second ranked SEC team.

Some LSU fans are DESPARATE to play the underdog, "no respect" role. But the reality is that the country sees LSU as a great program even though LSU hasn't exactly lived up to expectations for 3-4 years now. Sorry to burst your bubble, but LSU's days of "no respect" are well in the past...and that's a good thing
