Bottom line is that LSU does not have the money or the leadership to compete with schools like 'Bama, UF etc in the SEC. Unless and until that changes, LSU will never measure up. Never.

frick. I'm either retarded or just plain forgetful but I feel like I remember LSU winning or making the NCAA Championship in 2003, 2007, and 2011. That doesn't seem like "never measure up" to me. But like I said, I may be retarded.

This is a completely ludicrous statement and a loser mentality.

LSU has one of the NCAA's most profitable athletic departments. On top of that, we have as as many built-in recruiting advantages as almost any program besides Texas or Southern Cal. We have one of the most fertile recruiting states and we are the only major football program in that state. All of the schools in Alabama and Florida have very stiff recruiting competition from in-state schools. Also, the states that surround Louisiana are fertile. The fact that we have more players in the NFL than any other school shows that we can get the players we need.

The people in charge at LSU had a Ferrari and turned it into a Saturn by making a lot of bad decisions over the last few years.

This is absolutely NOT true. We have most all of what we need in order to compete. We also have enough money to compete.
The thing that we must have, the thing that is most needed is what is wrong with the whole damn state. We have politicians and others playing pat on the back and money handshakes. They will not relinquish the power nor the money, to bring in someone to do what it takes.
Emmert was what got saban here...no one else...and he left due to the politics. Until the shite show ends, this is what we will have.
