Pretty sad that AL fans are laughing at us right now.


They are laughing at us because our whole fan base has become obsessed with them. Every single thing posted on this site ends up with a Bama/LSU comparison. Everyone just needs to chill the frick out and realize we are still a top school and Les and his staff are still pulling in very talented recruits. Get over it.

And yet we are still competing with them each year. So far 3-3 against Saban. And we are going into 2012 preseason ranked #1 in most polls where as Bama is expected to see a decline for the most part. He may be outrecruiting us on paper but our teams are just as competitive and talented as his.


Stop making sense.

I swear if I have to keep hearing about Alabama every single thread I'm going to lose it.

This fanbase has become OBSESSED.

Maybe because it's true. Top rated classes and 2 crystal balls in 3 years. The people trying to rationalize are worse than the ones telling you talent matters.

I guess just as true as Florida having top ranked classes and 2 crystal balls in 2 years. They sure did have a great run the last few years.

Coaching turnover and a new QB had zero to do with that...

Meyers last year they went 8-5 so coaching turnover wasnt the problem.

Bama just won a NC with a new QB so that cant be an issue either.

Christ you act like LSU WAS NOT IN THE TITLE GAME. How did Bama get that crystal? Did they run the table in the SEC? They got there because of circumstance, as stated before.

QUIT acting like Bama has been dominating for 3 years. LSU WAS IN THE DAMN GAME. Yes they got beat badly, but to act like we were not in the conversation this year, much less in the game on our OWN doing, is nuts.

It's not rationale or realistic at all what you're saying.

You're acting as if LSU got to that title game with classes like this. That is not rational or realistic either.

THIS

Despite what people say about star rankings, they do have some correlation with success...

I hate threads like this. It is like saying...

"My girlfriend dumped me for my best friend"

"At least he gets sloppy seconds" ...

I didn't say this was the end of LSU. I said trying to make excuses is dumb. If LSU had classes equal to this the next 4 years, yes it would be over. 4th or worse every year in the West would be routine.

If our class stayed as is except for the addition of 1 5* player our rankings would jump up considerably and everyone would say we had another great year recruiting. But one player does not make or break an entire class at the end of the day.

Rivals has Clemson ranked #8 and LSU #15. We both have 20 recruits currently(App they dont count Jeremy Hill). Neither team has any 5*s. But they have 10 4*s and 10 3*s while we have 9 4*s 10 3*s and 1 2* since we picked up a long snapper. If we trade him out for another 4* you can guarantee we are a top 10 class with 8 days to go to add 5 more players.
