Remember you O loving dumb fricks that O put Fat Gobbels in charge of NIL for the first two years. Yes, the binder toting ex con in charge of NIL. That's when we got passed up by the likes of Ole Piss

You dumb mother fricker. Let me know when Ole Piss wins it all.

And since you hate O

SU this year choked because our schedule was fairly average..but not easy.

this is what's so frustrating to me. this was one of our most favorable schedules in a long time and we fricking suck.

I would have to double check this, but LSU is one of 6 teams to win multiple nattys since 2008.

LSU has one since 2008…

Thanks? I already listed them all

10 out of 120+ schools is “very few”

Honestly think this mentality is what holds LSU back a lot. It's like New Orleans - But Mardi Gras is the best week ever! Doesn't excuse the city being a shithole the rest of the year.

---

Horrible analogy. Unless you feel the rest of the country minus Bama and Ohio State should feel like they are completely unsuccessful programs. We have the 6th highest winning percentage since 03. 2 of those teams are Oklahoma and Boise State who I’d easily take our success over there’s in said timespan.

We’ve been an incredibly mediocre program since 1893.

FIFY.

We cannot sustain success.

This is what I’ve been saying. We won’t even make the 12 team playoff again. We are not a top 10 program in college football. When’s the last time we would’ve? 2019? Maybe 2023?

quote:

---

LSU is not mediocre because we play 7 ranked teams a year usually and go 4-3 or 3-4.

---

This makes lsu an average/mediocre team in our conference. The majority of the last 3 decades we have been average. Blame it on the bama dynasty or whatever you want, but average 3-4 losses a year is average in the modern football landscape

Over time people just remember W/L record and outcome. But to not take schedule and opponents into account is asinine to me. LSU is not mediocre because we play 7 ranked teams a year usually and go 4-3 or 3-4. Whereas so many teams play 1 or 2. How does that not matter?

---

I’ll take a step further and say that outside of 2019, a large portion of our year-to-year success (or lack thereof) is directly related to the schedule.

quote:

---

LSU this year choked because our schedule was fairly average..but not easy. If you switch LSU and Virginia’s schedule, LSU is where Virginia is and Virginia might not make a bowl.

---

Disagree about the schedule being average this year. FPI has LSU’s schedule to-date as the 10th hardest in the country, and we still have the #4 and #12 teams in the country left on the schedule.. both road games. LSU has had a very difficult schedule this year, contrary to the narrative going into the season. 5 of our 12 opponents are currently ranked in the top 25, with 3 in the top 10.

Also you don’t have to look at the ACC to see the impact of scheduling.. you can see it in our own backyard. How about Ole Miss? Ole Miss has played 2 opponents currently ranked in the top 25. Their remaining opponents are an FCS team with a losing record and 2 SEC teams who are combined 3-7 in conference play. They have the second-weakest SOS to-date in the conference, which will almost certainly be the weakest by the time the season ends (for the second year in a row).

People don’t pay nearly enough attention to schedules in college football.

Hardly mediocre although we should have made the CFP more than once.

Only making the CFP once for a program like LSU is extremely mediocre

Thank God we won it all then
