re: LSU Football is Not Mediocre

I'm not sure I buy this argument....seems to just depend on how you frame it. In other words...we have had a downturn for 5 years but we were awesome for a decade before that...therefore we are still not mediocre? How many years do we include the 2000s before we admit that our program is no longer at that level? 5? 10? In other words...after being a powerhouse....how many years of mediocre performance do you get before you can no longer claim you are a powerhouse?
