good points. However, at least on this board, a lot of posters who claim to be "rational" are not. We have an inordinate amount of Sabanistas that not only cannot get over that he left, but seethe at whats going on in Tuscaloosa. They will not let themselves enjoy any modicum of success by LSU. Any big win or high profile recruit is negated in their minds by the Troy game or for the most miserable SOBs here the 2005 Tennessee game. We have more miserable SOBs than most teams

Now,am I concerned? You're darn right. It was to my understanding Orgeron promised to get the hell out of the way of his assistants. Firing Canada and promoting a reluctant Ensminger doesn't conjure up visions of Bill Walsh's offenses.

But hoping a 9-4 team fails "for the good of the program's long haul" is stupid. Boycotting a 9-4 team is borderline idiocy.

"Both" sides would help their point if they could concede anything. The "O" positives could admit concerns about the offense and O's meddling. The "O" negatives could let themselves enjoy a big win like Auburn.

1000% spot on.

By no means on this forum are the "negatigers" actually "analyzing the current state of the program."

Especially this. They’re comparing it to and thinking that LSU should be shoulder to shoulder to Alabama at this point when they’re on an historic run lead by a once in a generation head coach. Then they act like LSU is the only school chasing the same program and trying to duplicate Alabama’s results and failing at doing so.
