“I expected 7-8 wins”

I had us at 10-2 once we got Joe. I didn’t buy into either the lack of talent or the brutal schedule stuff.

But whatever any of us thought was going to happen, it remains 9-3, 5-3 with a shutout to Bama at home, L to A&M, and another bad O performance is not exceeding any LSU football performance I am familiar with in the last decade or so.

If 9 wins exceeds expectations, then there is little doubt we have lowered LSU football expectation.

It tends to work better when you dont promise competing for championships and then lose 3 games the next 2 seasons.

Recruiting rankings aren't flawless


Obviously I’m just showing the amount of talent they have brought in just one calendar year adding to what they already have...everybody watching the game between us and Bama could tell that we have matchup problems on the oline and dline we just don’t have the talent they do on the LOS but I would agree we do in about every other position other than QB it’s just the way it is but I still love my TIGERS!!!

We don't need the talent that they have in order to compete with them.

if it was so easy, why did their previous coach never even have a winning record?

for better or worse, yes our expectations were lower coming into this season

Are you carrying a turd around in your pocket?? I personally had expectations of a ten win season and we may actually meet that expectation. Now as far as next year I expect better.

Of all the special posters that constantly shite on proven coaches to prop up 0, you may be the most special.

There's just a gap in talent on the lines between us and Alabama.


This wasn't always the case. Then we took too long to fire our coach who couldn't out-scheme them, and then we botched the hiring process when it came to HC. So now we have less talent and worse coaching

Do you think that everyone that's scored on Alabama has the type of talent they do? I'd hope you'll say no.

So how come everyone else can score on them and we laid a fat 0? Is everyone else's recruiting better than ours?

How long did it take Clemson when their interim coach got the permanent job?

Head Coach - God Almighty
Off Coord - Jesus Christ
Def Coord - Holy Ghost

If you that damn unhappy find another school to pull for
with fans like you who needs opponents

They can recruit pretty well.
