If they go 11-1 or 10-2, they should commended for actually going out and doing the damned thing in real life, not “meh”ed because some dumb frick on the internet has determined that is the only thing “acceptable” on August fricking 1st.
I don't get how people are acting like finishing the season 11-2 wouldn't be some huge accomplishment. Just that many fans are looking at the roster and expecting that kind of season says a lot about the way the staff has been able to build this roster.

recruiting is getting better. I would expect the roster to get better over time as well. We need to aim for a strong roster every year same as the top teams such as Bama, Clemson, and Ohio State are doing.
The roster will continue to be strong, but when you have a large collection of Draft eligible players to replace, it’s not going to be as continuous
On the other hand, if LSU can establish a turn key offensive system like Clemson has, it would do a lot to improve the consistency year to year, let’s hope Joe Brady brings that

yet there are programs that have managed to get to where they are in the hunt every season. Just would like to see LSU get back to that level that we were in those first few years of the Les Miles era.

Defense isn't the issue. We held them to 29 points, which was ~45% lower than their season average at that time.
No, our defense didn't play well at all. We got dominated.

Like 3 of them ??
And only 1 in the SEC.
It will never be as fruitful as the Miles era. Look at the West alone. But it can still be really successful

finishing 11-2 would give us a winning percentage of .846 for the season. Considering we have only achieved a .846 or higher winning percentage for a season 5 times in the Miles/Saban era (since 2000), and 7 times in the last 50 years it would be a huge accomplishment but is very possible. But the ball is going to have to bounce our way as far as injuries, refs, and just flat out luck go.
We did it back to back for the 2006 and 2007 seasons, as well as the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Hopefully Orgeron can get the program to where is not such a rare thing. Somewhere the program has never been before (other than the late 50's and early 60's when we really were a consistant football power)

If we played in any other division of any conference, we would be in the playoff every year. We’ve run into a buzzsaw at Bama that no one beats on a consistent basis. We are left with no margin for error

I don’t see a lot of people mentioning Florida. I hate them so much after that fricking hurricane/pussying out stuff. That’s going to be a tough one.
Posted on 8/1/19 at 12:47 pm to 00 Tech Grad
Been saying the same. I can see a loss to Bama, and an upset to Auburn, or a just flat out loss to UF, but that's it. Any other loss, even to Texas, would be straight up bullcrap.

Yet Auburn has won the SEC West twice since LSU's last, including two years ago.

Bama being an acceptable (competitive) loss
Well, Orgeron has never beaten Mullen. Never beaten Jimbo. Never been competitive against Saban. And has never played Herman, so there is a VERY REALISTIC threat of 3 losses. But whether they are acceptable or not will be decided by Woodard
But as for you, just get prepared for disappointment

I'm saying the notion that Bama being a dynasty is an excuse for not winning the West for 8 years is ignorant and false. This is proven by the fact that Auburn won it twice in 5 years right in the middle of that dynasty.
Why do you have such a hard time following simple trains of thought? Seriously, having to walk everything out for you constantly is a bit sad.

This is coming from the dumbass that turned my simple comment that it was easier to do so before bama became a dynasty into this shite and you are questioning that? really how dumb are you? you are essentially saying winning the west should not be as difficult NOW as it was BEFORE bama became a dynasty...you are a total moron

Yeah this isn't what I'm saying at all. Not even close actually. I didn't even mention anything about before Saban. I said winning the West is possible even with Alabama's dynasty in the division, as has been proven by Auburn.
How embarrassing for you. This really is sad.

Your point was Alabama is a dynasty in the same division which makes it too difficult to win with regularity. My point is the division can be won even with Alabama in it. I even provided a real life example.
I didn't misinterpret your point. I showed that it was ignorant.
ETA: And for the third time on a single page I'm having to walk things out for you. Like you're a child learning how to read.

the simpleton is getting closer to my point but needs a little help...it's harder to win with the team Bama is than it was prior to Saban got them rolling. Seriously only an idiot would argue this is not true.
